The College's campus is based around a fully restored Merchant's House which dates from the 19th century.

The College completed the first phase of a £24.5 million new build which will be attached to the Merchant's House by means of an atrium.

All courses give students at the college appropriate pathways to help prepare effectively for university, employment or apprenticeships.

The college has introduced additional opportunities to support student learning including the Careers Academy and Honours Programme.

The College has a partnership with the University of Sunderland and offers a two-year Foundation Degree in Law course.
