Strang, who is from Stafford, also admitted to making threats to kill fellow students at Stafford College and to detonate a bomb there in September.
The court was informed that Strang pleaded guilty on the grounds that he had no intention of actually building a bomb.
The judge, Mr Justice Wall, said Strang would be sentenced at Birmingham Crown Court on 29 June.
