HSDC Higher Education Prospectus 23/24

SOUTH COAST INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY

COURSES AT HSDC

Backed by more than £13 million in funding from the Department for Education, the South Coast Institute of Technology (South Coast IoT) specialises in maritime, engineering and digital, with the education providers also working with Solent LEP and employers including IBM, Portsmouth International Port and the Royal Navy. The aim is to develop the talent pipeline, ensuring a sufficient home-grown workforce with the right skills to meet industry needs.

The Institute of Technology programme intends to deliver higher technical training in STEM subjects to fill gaps in the market, and will use its funding to improve facilities across the region.

As one of the leading Further Education providers in the region, HSDC will be utilising the £2.6m investment to upgrade its Engineering facilities to the latest industry specifications including new equipment for the benefit of its large number of Higher Education students (including apprentices) in this area of provision. The College will also be able to use some of the investment to continue its development of facilities for Digital students, specifically Higher Education students studying data analysis or emerging digital technologies such as augmented reality and artificial intelligence.

Take a look at our courses delivered as part of the collaboration.
