Background
History
The college was formed on 1 August 2008 after the Dewsbury College Dissolution order approved that the corporation of Dewsbury College be dissolved and all its property, rights and liabilities transferred to Huddersfield Technical College. On 1 August 2008 Huddersfield Technical College changed its name to Kirklees College. On 7 May 2026, A man from Huddersfield allegedly sent malicious emails—later identified as a hoax by West Yorkshire Police—sending the College to send all sites on precautionary lockdown at 10:30 AM. This was later lifted at 12:30 PM.
