A college for students aged 14 to 18 which specialises in technical studies and is sponsored by a university. It offers full time courses which combine practical and academic studies. Employers are involved from the start in shaping the curriculum.
11 is too early to choose a subject path to follow and 16 is too late. Students who know what they want to do can often become bored at school and so underachieve by the time they are 16.
Yes. Usually they have two specialisms e.g. engineering and advanced manufacturing.
Employers play a major part in UTCs. They help plan what students are going to learn and ensure that the qualifications students gain are what employers require. They also meet the students on work placements in order to get to know them.
Students can either go onto to a higher level apprenticeship in employment or onto a university. The UTC will help them decide which is the best route for them.
This will vary but all offer GCSEs in at least English, maths and science combined with a modern foreign language, a humanities subject and practical and technical qualifications which are recognised by employers and universities.
