The college is in South Tyneside in the United Kingdom, with its main sites in the towns of South Shields and Hebburn. Its foundation was laid by Dr. Winterbottom in the year 1837, hence nearly two centuries have elapsed and literally everything has changed including its name, but the tradition of excellent study still remains.
Most of the major shipping companies prefer to get their candidates and employees trained at South Tyneside College and include the names such as Shell, Princess Cruises, Maersk and Nedlloyd to name a few.
