Our story
Twenty-seven years of Vantage
The college was founded in 1998 by a trust who wanted the region to have a degree college built around small classes and real mentorship. The first intake was ninety students across two departments. Today it teaches over three thousand, across fourteen programmes.
The college is affiliated to the State University and governed by a Board of Governors drawn from academia, industry and the founding trust. An Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) coordinates continuous improvement across teaching, research and governance.
Our vision
To be a regional centre of academic excellence that equips students with knowledge, character and clarity of direction.
Our mission
Deliver rigorous, industry-linked education; foster research and community engagement; and build an inclusive campus where every student is known by name.
