University Technical Colleges specialise in subjects that
require technical and modern equipment, for example, engineering,
product design, health sciences, construction, and land and
environmental services.
However they all teach business skills and the use of ICT. The
chosen specialism reflects the university's areas of excellence and
the needs of local employers.
A fundamental principle of University Technical
Colleges is that they do not judge students on their past
performance. Students are given new opportunities and new ways of
learning which allow them to achieve to a higher level than they
may have done before.
