OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL
Tyne Coast College offers a new and exciting vision for education and training in the North East. Our diverse and innovative vocationally-driven curriculum, close links to employers and ambition to deliver outstanding provision, puts students on a clear course to academic attainment and career success.
Created from a merger of South Tyneside College and Tyne Metropolitan College, our programmes meet the skills needs of this region and strongly support economic growth and prosperity. We cut across geographical boundaries, and our guiding vision – to provide education that is outstanding – creates opportunity for all to succeed, personally and professionally.
Working from key campuses and locations, we offer students an almost unlimited range of vocational and technical qualifications, as well as an outstanding framework of A levels and sports opportunities.
Incorporating the former South Tyneside and Tyne Metropolitan colleges, our key brands also include South Shields Marine School, recognised as one of the worlds foremost maritime training centres, and Queen Alexandra Campus, which specialises in A level provision.
MISSION AND VISION
Our mission, vision and values drive our delivery of first-class provision and show a clear commitment of support to all students equally.
With a mission to provide outstanding educational opportunities, we will benefit learners and the communities we serve. Doing so will satisfy our vision to grow further as a world-class educational facility, operating with a focus that develops the potential of all.
Following these paths will allow us to play a key role in ensuring the long-term prosperity of our region, through the creation of skills that drive economic growth.
