Set in the heart of Newcastle, we offer an unrivalled student experience. Our main campus is just a short walk from Newcastle’s main train station, allowing you to benefit from the city’s thriving student scene. Newcastle has something for everyone, whether you’re looking for some late night shopping, a thriving restaurant scene or award-winning culture.

Digital technologies students are based in the Trevelyan building.  Students have access to a dedicated Mac suite for game rendering and graphics production, network labs with Cisco and Microsoft technologies, IT pods and areas for vendor qualification training. 

Students will also benefit from specialist software and hardware to support applications and mobile apps development, computer forensics and cyber security. 

You will have access to many learning spaces where our teams are on hand to help you with independent study, research and academic skills such as referencing.  You will also have access to our library with excellent resources. Newcastle College has one of the largest further education college libraries in the north of England, with over 40,000 books and hundreds of journals, magazines, DVDs, e-books and e-journal resources.

Students at Newcastle College have access to a number of in-house catering outlets. All of our catering facilities have a five-star Food Hygiene Rating and all of our outlets have been awarded the Heart of Newcastle Award for outstanding hygiene and healthy eating options. All catering outlets are available to learners in receipt of free college meals.

Restaurants are available within Parsons and Trevelyan on our Rye Hill Campus which serve a wide range of affordable hot and cold food including jacket potatoes, sandwiches and pastries, along with a number of snacks.
