About us
Tyne Coast College offers diverse and innovative programmes of study to create opportunities for all to succeed, professionally and personally.
Working with employers, partners and other stakeholders, our offer is designed to meet the skills needs of the region and strongly support economic growth and prosperity. We have adopted a responsive curriculum, aligned to the LSIP priorities to ensure we tackle existing and future skills gaps in priority sectors.
Incorporating the former South Tyneside and Tyne Metropolitan colleges, our key brands also include South Shields Marine School, recognised as one of the world’s foremost maritime training centres and winner of the prestigious Queens Anniversary Prize for excellence in Further and Higher Education.
What makes us different
Part of our offer north of the river includes our purpose-built construction facility and our centre for engineering and innovation, whilst south of the river our offer includes digital labs, recording booths, a state of the art music studio and commercial hair and beauty salons. Our off-shore training facility (MOST) is UK-leading, equipped with state-of-the-art facilities that have been developed to provide commercial marine courses that emulate the most realistic offshore environment.
