We’re excited to welcome back our students, staff, and community as we begin another inspiring academic year at South Tyneside College. With fresh opportunities ahead, now is the perfect time to set your ambitions high and take the next step towards your goals.

Life at South Tyneside College
College is about more than just studying — it’s about new experiences, meeting new people, and making memories. From our Student Union and clubs to enrichment activities and events, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved, try something new, and have your say in shaping college life.
We also place a strong focus on wellbeing and support. Our dedicated teams are here to make sure every student has the guidance and encouragement they need, both in and out of the classroom.
Skills for your future
Alongside your studies, you’ll have the chance to take part in work experience and placements — giving you the real-world skills, confidence, and insight employers are looking for. Whether your next step is employment, university, or further training, we’ll help you build the skills to succeed.
Discover your future at our Open Nights
Our popular Open Nights return on the first Tuesday of every month — with the next one on Tuesday 7th October, 5pm–7pm.
It’s your chance to:
- Explore a wide range of courses: Vocational programmes, T Levels, Apprenticeships, Higher Education, and English & Maths.
- Meet our expert tutors and friendly support staff to get a real feel for college life.
- Chat with our Careers Team about your ambitions and future goals.
- Learn about Student Finance and Additional Learning Support, so you can plan with confidence.
Whether you’re just starting out or ready to take the next step, our Open Nights are the best way to discover what’s on offer and get your questions answered.
We’re still enrolling on a number of programmes — so there’s still time to make this your year.
