context_page_description: Grimsby Institute and University Centre Grimsby is a further and higher education University Centre in North East Lincolnshire, England.
context_section_description: 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 1992 (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.
  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.
