Newcastle College's origins go back over 120 years to 1894 when Rutherford Memorial College was established at Rye Hill. Over the years the college has grown and expanded to nine other satellite sites across Newcastle, Gateshead and North Tyneside.
Newcastle College serves over 20,000 learners from our main Rye Hill campus in the heart of Newcastle upon Tyne, our nine satellite sites in and around the city, and at four community-outreach venues across the North East. We work with hundreds of regional businesses and a recent economic report identified that the College contributes almost £244m to the regional economy.
