Sir Simon Milton Westminster University Technical College

The only way for students to truly understand and choose the path for them, is to experience them first hand.Bridging the gap between education and work, University Technical Colleges (often referred to as UTCs) are government-funded schools that give 14 – 18 year-olds the opportunity to study GCSEs, A-Levels and formal qualifications in a project-based, interactive and relevant way. Today there are 43 UTCs across England with more than 15,000 students. Sponsored by a university, UTCs give students a strong grounding in English, Maths and Science whilst focusing on a specific area, such as Engineering. Students also benefit from connections with sponsor companies and the partner University which gives students an advantage when applying for jobs and further education.
