University Technical Colleges (UTCs) are government-funded schools with a STEM focus. They provide a unique and relevant approach to education, which addresses the changing needs of students and employers in the 21st century.

UTCs were established by companies and universities in areas of high demand for talent. In addition to a core curriculum of English, maths, and sciences, UTCs also offer sought-after technical qualifications, and benefit from industry-standard equipment and specialist staff to provide students with skills valued by employers.

Including ‘real life’ project-based learning, which engages students and develops their personal character. Because of this unique offer, UTCs allow for a broad choice of pathways at 18: either to university, to higher or degree apprenticeships, or directly into a career.
