£8million Investment

In 2022, Newcastle College University Centre was awarded over £2million from the Office for Students (OfS) to spend on bringing our students the latest STEM equipment to support them in their learning and prepare them to enter the workforce of the future. Now, thanks to additional funding from the OfS, we're set to invest almost £6million into our facilities over the next three years, giving students access to cutting-edge technology.

Students in Aviation, Digital, Energy and Engineering are already benefitting from leading-edge teaching facilities and equipment including new electric vehicles, wind turbine nacelles, drones, robots, VR and XR software, Cyber Security Labs, a new HE learning space, and even a new jet.

The next stage of investments will see a dedicated HE Hub for construction and engineering including high-spec CAD/BIM suites and specialist digital labs.

There's never been a better time to study at Newcastle College University Centre.
