FINANCIAL SUPPORT

Studying at South Tyneside College lets you invest in your future and fulfil your ambitions at good value for money. With a competitive fee structure, we offer flexible payment schemes and free financial advice from our dedicated Student Advisers from Student Services.

Everybody’s circumstances are different, which means you could also be entitled to a bursary, grant or financial support on things like course fees, essential equipment or childcare.

LEARNING SUPPORT

Your well-being is our number one priority. And no matter what your situation is, our Additional Learning Support (ALS) Team is here for you every step of the way. With support packages made just for you, we can help you learn, develop your confidence and expand your life skills.

PERSONAL LEARNING PLAN

To make sure you’re fully supported to achieve your best, all students receive a Personal Learning Plan (PLP). This is a web-based document containing personal goals, aspirations and academic achievements. You and your tutor will be able to track your PLP during your time at South Tyneside College and watch as you grow and progress.

KEEPING YOU SAFE

At STC, it’s our duty to protect you. While every student’s circumstance is different, everyone should feel safe, secure, valued and respected. Whether that’s looking after those who are vulnerable or creating a good work-life balance, we make sure you’re supported in every way possible.
