Gateshead College

This college has the utmost respect for the mentally and physically disabled running many programs to help teach everyone they can and there are many disabled ramps and lifts to allow easy access to all quadrants of the college for those wheelchair bound. The college is as only good as the staff that it employs and every member of staff are experts in there field, the bond shared between student and tutor is a close friend type bond that you and your childhood friend create, the staff are friendly and find new ways to make college more enjoyable for everyone. I have found nothing bad about this college and highly recommend this to be your choice if you are thinking about further education. 5/5 stars

My academic pursuit at Gateshead College focused on Games Design; however, I cannot recommend this institution due to several issues. The college exhibited a low-quality learning environment with inadequate teaching standards. I faced numerous challenges in acquiring knowledge as the instructors often resorted to playing YouTube tutorials rather than providing meaningful instruction. The course content was generally ambiguous, irrelevant, and pessimistic, with the teachers discouraging students from pursuing careers in the industry, telling them it was very unlikely they would make it. The most prominent problem I encountered was the absence of homework assignments throughout the academic year, leaving an extensive workload to be completed hastily towards the year-end, leading to immense stress. The staff acknowledged this, yet any complaints were either dismissed or ignored. Furthermore, I recall experiencing frequent use of derogatory language, hate speech, and racism by students. Which was not dealt with seriously. The college offered little support in various areas, including academic, practical, mental health, and disciplinary support. The available mental health support services had excruciatingly long waiting periods, with the college only providing assistance at the end of the academic year, which is unacceptable. The dearth of support and numerous challenges led me to discontinue my studies at Gateshead College after one year. I hope the college administration recognizes the imperative need for significant improvement.
