College Future
The College has definite plans to achieve University status in the future, possibly to replace what the Humberside Polytechnic formerly offered in the Humber region.
A £25 million university centre will open in 2011. Construction work began on 15 February 2010. Due to a Scarborough further education college's financial problems caused by its small size, the Yorkshire Coast College merged with the Grimsby Institute on 1 January 2010. Merger proposals were first announced in October 2008. Both colleges are administered by the Yorkshire & Humber LSC based in Bradford.

“In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak, and as strong; as silly and as wise; as bad and good.”
