At University Centre Somerset our mission is to transform the lives of our
students and our communities by delivering outstanding and aspirational
teaching, learning and skills development. We specialise in vocational degree
level qualifications, grounded in the real world and combined with academic
rigour so that our students can achieve the highest standards set for their
chosen industry sector. Our aim is for our students to begin their careers with
confidence, knowing they have been trained in the most advanced business methods
and technology. Working in partnership with organisations such as the Heart of
the South West LEP and major employers such as the NHS we work to ensure the
courses we offer are not only academically rigorous but that they have been
developed to meet the local and regional skill requirements. Somerset has a rich
mix of industries and our range of courses reflect this. You will find courses
from sectors such as Health and Social Care, Early Years, Nuclear Engineering,
Animal Management, Land based courses and many more. Each has been designed to
lead to excellent career prospects and progression locally or further afield.
Degree courses at University Centre Somerset are validated by some of the UK’s
most prestigious universities, including Plymouth University, Oxford Brookes,
