Doncaster Education City (or DEC) is a £90 million higher and further education facility in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England. The centrepiece of the project is a new purpose-built campus in the centre of the city nicknamed The Hub.
DEC was a joint project between Doncaster College, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council, the South Yorkshire Learning and Skills Council and Yorkshire Forward Archived 24 September 2005 at the Wayback Machine.
Existing facilities
[edit]Doncaster's higher and further educational needs are currently served by Doncaster College. Doncaster College has two campuses - The Hub and the University Centre, Doncaster.
University Centre
[edit]Historically, degree courses have been available at the college, which are accredited by local universities such as the University of Hull. In 2004, Doncaster College designated its High Melton campus as University Centre, with the aim of offering more degree courses, again with support from the University of Hull.[1]
The future
[edit]The aim of the project was to have a University College, Doncaster by 2009, and by 2012 have a University of Doncaster.[2]
