Essential Radio from Ayrshire College is a 24/7 music-led radio station for staff, students and employers. The station was launched in June 2022 with initial funding from the Ayrshire College Foundation and runs from the Kilwinning Campus.

The radio station showcases students’ learning outcomes in selected Essential Skills classes, helping to enhance student learning in an innovative way across all campuses.  It is also available to students across the college who have an interest in broadcasting and who may wish to present a programme.

As an additional college activity the station enrich's students with music and news of events happening across the campuses, supporting and inspiring students during their time at Ayrshire College. 

We encourage and develop new and creative ways to reach out to our student population via the methods of teaching Essential Skills, while providing local employers with a direct link to students across all campuses.
