The Newcastle College University Centre is set to invest a share of £6m into its higher education facilities, allowing for the creation of new hubs for many of its subject areas.
The funds come from the Office for Students (OfS) to create HE Hubs for construction, engineering, energy and digital technologies, and they will be designed in order to help the University Centre close the region's skill gaps at a higher technical level.
These new facilities will also allow the Centre to adapt to changing needs and new technology, ensuring that graduates are ready for the job market of today and any future changes.
