Early indications show 88 advanced Level 3 courses achieved 100 percent pass rates, and a 98 per cent pass rate for Advanced Level courses.
Bury College Principal and Chief Executive, Charlie Dean, said: "Covid-19 has meant that the education of students has been disrupted and learners have been at a huge disadvantage.
"For many students, these are the first exams they have taken.
"To achieve results that, in many cases outstrip pre-covid outcomes, is testament to the resilience and commitment demonstrated by students and staff.
"Our learners and indeed our colleagues, are a credit to the college, themselves, their families and the wider Bury community.
“On behalf of the Bury College Corporation and all our staff, I would like to take this opportunity to wish our students every success in the future.”
