City of Sunderland College

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

City of Sunderland College is one of the largest Further Education & Sixth Form Colleges in the UK.

The college is a multi-centre establishment, with main sites throughout the north east of England. The College has also entered into partnership with local schools and its three main centres to create three new Sixth form colleges. These new colleges are: St Peters sixth form at the Hylton Centre; Bede sixth form at the Bede Centre and Usworth sixth form, currently located at the Shiney Row Centre. In September 2006 the Usworth Sixth Form College will be opening its brand new £10 million campus in Washington, with state of the art facilities. Each of the centres has its own learning centre in which students can have access to computers, borrow books from the extensive library or just find a quiet place to read.

The College prides itself on being able to offer many courses and facilities which would not normally be expected from a sixth form college for its 16-19 and adult students in full time or part time education.
