NUC runs its degree programmes in collaboration with what are called partner universities.

The Centre for Innovation and Partnerships was established in 1997 by Newham College to open up new ways of training and support for individuals and businesses. It utilises European and other regeneration funds and works collaboratively with a wide range of partners. The College developed and operates Fashion and Textile Museum. The Museum is a cutting edge centre for contemporary fashion, textiles and jewellery near London Bridge and was originally founded by iconic British designer Zandra Rhodes. The College developed New Horizons London which is the London franchise of the global IT training business, New Horizons. The Women’s Business Centre specialises in business training and NewTec provides childcare facilities. The College also supports Jamie's Ministry of Food Stratford and helped to develop a charity, The Learning Revolution Trust, to financially support disadvantaged students.
