The college was formed in September 2011 by the merger of

peppercorn rent to Cardiff Council.[3]

In 2015 a new main campus costing £45 million was opened in Dumballs Road, Cardiff, to cater for 4000 students. Facilities included 130 teaching rooms, film and dance studios, a theatre, a hair salon and spa and, on the top floor, a public bar and restaurant.[4] Having sold their main Cardiff site in City Road, Cardiff, the college intended to keep their other Cardiff campus, at Trowbridge and convert it to become an art college.[4]
