Is the campus safe?

Newcastle College University Centre has a range of security measures in place to ensure that all students and staff remain safe while on campus.

We employ a team of security operatives providing 24-hour cover, 365 days a year. Optimum staffing levels are in place to ensure proactive foot patrols are conducted around the college estate, both internally and externally. All of our security staff can be identified by their hi-visibility clothing which is identified with SECURITY on the back which serves to distinguish them from other day-to-day contractors and suppliers who may also be wearing hi-visibility clothing. These security provisions run across all Newcastle College University Centre and NCG campuses.

CCTV is extensively situated around Newcastle College University Centre, both externally and internally in some buildings, for the purpose of crime prevention and public safety. Our dedicated CCTV control room is continually staffed. The CCTV control room ahs a dedicated emergency line number in addition to two other phone lines.

In addition to general staff challenging people without a valid Newcastle College or University Centre ID, security staff also run checks as part of their specific duties and conduct ad-hoc ID checks at the point of entry to buildings. We also have close liaison with our local neighbourhood police officers.

"Class sizes are smaller at Newcastle College University Centre which allows me to have regular and effective one-to-ones with my tutors, which is obviously a lot better!"

Ted Cairns Fuller

Level 6 BSc (Hons) Networking and Cyber Security (Top-Up)

"I feel like my degree has taught me a good amount of everything. I appreciate that it doesn’t restrict me into a particular pathway within the cybersecurity sector, so I can try everything to feel out areas which I feel gel the most with me."

Murray Lambert

Programme Lead | Computing

"I enjoy delivering technical modules with a practical outcome. I get to use my experience working on industry projects to help students develop their skills in 3D modelling, texturing and animation. It's very rewarding to see students bring their own ideas to life, from a simple concept all the way to a character they can move around in a game."
