East Sussex College Degrees

If you are reading this then you must be seriously thinking about making those first important steps in starting your Degree!

More students are studying locally through full and part-time courses to achieve foundation and honours degrees.

Building work to develop the new University Centre Hastings at Sussex Coast College is underway and on track to be completed in time for September.

Plans for the fifth floor at the Station Plaza campus have been unveiled showing the details of additional teaching spaces and recreational and leisure areas for current and new Higher Education students to enjoy later this year.

The 1, 380 metre square space will be transformed into lecture rooms, study areas, two art studios, common rooms, and a Student Union. These facilities will be added to the existing Learning Resource Centre, Subway, and college canteen, to provide students with an exceptional university experience.

So far, the contractors have installed the electrics and flooring, and the college has ordered all the furniture, teaching equipment, and computers. The second phase of construction is due to start in mid-May.

Sussex Coast College Hastings has invested £100, 000 into the development of the new space, and has recently secured a further £100, 000 grant from the Higher Education Funding Council’s Catalyst Fund.

The bid for the Catalyst Fund has been supported by University of Brighton, and in line with its on-going commitment to support the development of the new University Centre, the University of Brighton has also provided additional loan funding to ensure that the building work can be completed by September.
