Preparing Young People for High-Quality Destinations

University Technical Colleges (UTCs) are designed to meet employers' needs for young talent with the right skills and knowledge. UTCs offer a unique combination of technical qualifications alongside GCSEs and A Levels, preparing students for top universities, employment and advanced apprenticeships.

UTC Leeds, opened in September 2016, provides high-tech facilities and a first-class educational experience focused on engineering and advanced technology. Our curriculum, developed with global and regional employers and the University of Leeds, includes activities with industry professionals and academic experts.

Supported by over 70 employers, including RAF, Siemens, and Unilever, students gain valuable work experience and develop a strong work ethic. Projects address real-world issues, and students participate in inspirational events and national competitions.

For sixth-form students, we offer various routes to professional careers through A Levels, T Levels and technical qualifications, tailored to their preferred paths, whether apprenticeships, employment or university.
