Students finishing Year 11 and their parents in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear, have a final opportunity to secure their place for the upcoming academic year at a dedicated event on Monday 18 May 2026. Gateshead College is hosting this event from 4:30pm to 7:00pm across its four local campuses.
Prospective students can visit the college to meet with teaching staff, receive career advice, and learn about the different ways to study, including A Levels, vocational courses, and apprenticeships. Attendees will also have the chance to explore financial support options, such as bursaries and grants, to help with their future studies starting in September 2026.
The event is held across the college’s various sites, including the main Baltic Campus on Quarryfield Road, the Academy for Sport, and the Skills Academies for both Automotive and Engineering and Construction. Staff will be on hand to guide families through the enrolment process and answer any questions about the wide range of subjects on offer, from digital technologies to catering and health and social care.
For those requiring further information before the event, the college’s customer services team can be reached by calling 0191 490 0300. This gathering marks a key moment for local school leavers as they prepare for the next steps in their education.
