History
Grimsby College of Further Education
It was known as Grimsby Technical College in the 1950s, administered by the County Borough of Grimsby Education Committee, becoming Grimsby College of Further Education in the 1960s, offering three-year HNDs (a higher education qualification) in food science, and also applied chemistry. It was based at Nuns Corner. The food science course involved six months of teaching and six months in industry per year. In 1966 it became Grimsby College of Technology, and was heavily involved with training people for food science careers; which was of considerable importance to the economy of Grimsby.Grimsby College of Technology
By 1967 it was also offering HNDs in Refrigeration Engineering, Analytical Chemistry and Chemical Engineering. Refrigeration was taught on a site on Weelsby Street. It also offered courses in training for the British Merchant Navy. It hosted food science conferences. By 1968 it was also offering HNDs in Business Studies and Mechanical Engineering (refrigeration or environmental). Its departments included:- Food and Fashion
- Science and Mathematics
- Engineering
- Management and Business Studies.
- School of Art
- Maritime Studies and Fisheries
- Building
- General Studies (the humanities)
- Grimsby School of Nursing
Connections with Humberside University
By September 1982 it was offering its same set of four food-industry-related HND through Hull College of HE on Inglemore Avenue in Hull. On 1 January 1983, the Humberside College of HE came into existence, through integrating Grimsby's HND courses with the Hull College of HE. At this point, it was becoming a full-fledged HE college. On 11 June 1990, the HE College, at Hull, became Humberside Polytechnic. Three of its thirteen sites were in Grimsby (its food and fisheries site), one being the College of Technology's food-industry-related HE courses. The plan was to reduce the number of sites to four by the mid-1990s: three in Hull and one in Grimsby. The grand plans and vision for expansion of the polytechnic extended as far as Lincoln, York and Scarborough. This would almost actually happen: except (conversely) Lincoln would be the centre, extending as far north as Hull; Grimsby would be jettisoned.The former Humberside Polytechnic, which became the University of Humberside in 1992WEB, Yorkshire Universities,weblink dead,weblink" title="archive.today/20121223110310weblink">weblink 23 December 2012, (and essentially closed down in Hull when it became the University of Lincoln in 2002), had its Food, Fisheries and Environmental Studies site adjacent to Grimsby College on Bargate, which became the School of Applied Science and Technology with around 500 students. It offered BSc courses in Food Science. It offered a similar range of courses to that of the University of Lincoln's current site in Holbeach.(File:Yeast on grapes.jpg|thumb|140px|left|In the 1990s it offered HNDs in wine-making (oenology))Grimsby College, as it was known from 1993, was known as an 'Associate College' of the University of Humberside, and offered a wide range of HNDs, not its former range of food-industry courses, although it even offered an HND in Viticulture and Vinification, which became the UK's first degree course in Oenology (wine-making) in 1994, run by Mike Grubb. It offered a Sports Science HND through Nottingham Trent University. The type of degree courses it offered were social science, business, humanities, and marketing & tourism. The former food department was not part of the college.In 1999 it began to offer Broadcast Journalism and Media Production courses, and in 2000 it branched out to ECE Television, which became East Coast Media, which worked with GTV (owned by Granada).In 2015, The Media Production Course was renamed from East Coast Media to Estuary Student TV. This was to reflect on the Estuary TV brand which is the Local Television Channel owned by the Grimsby Institute.Higher education college
In 2004 it became the Grimsby Institute of Further & Higher Education. Its connection (associate college status) with the former University of Lincolnshire and Humberside (formed in 1996) finished when this changed its name to the University of Lincoln in 2002, which rapidly closed most of its main Hull site down (now occupied by the Hull York Medical School), concentrating it all in Lincoln. Grimsby Institute was now separate from any partner university.In 2006 it sponsored the Pyewipe roundabout on the A180.NEWS,weblink BBC NEWS - UK - England - Humber - A roundabout way of advertising, 6 January 2006, The Humber Food School was moved from Grimsby to Lincoln.WEB,weblink Humberside staff call for v-c to quit, Times Higher Education (THE), 19 February 1999, The Food Refrigeration and Process Engineering Research Centre (FRPERC)WEB,weblink Grimsby Institute, 2 October 2017, moved to the College in August 2009.
