University Technical Colleges are a new concept in education.
They offer 14-19 year olds the opportunity to take a highly
regarded, full time, technically-oriented course of study. They are
equipped to the highest standard, sponsored by a university and
offer clear progression routes into higher education or further
learning in work.
"We want to forge a partnership between vocational
education and universities, FE colleges and employers."
Lord Baker
The students combine hand and mind to learn in a very practical
way, integrating national curriculum requirements with the
technical and vocational elements. The college ethos and curriculum
is heavily influenced by local and national employers who also
provide support and work experience for students.
