UTC@harbourside

General information

UTC@harbourside is a new college for 14-18 year olds in Sussex interested in science, technology, engineering, maths and computing.

We are one of a growing number of exciting new University Technical Colleges(UTCs) – state-funded colleges with a different approach to traditional schools. They teach students technical and scientific subjects in a whole new way to educate the inventors, engineers, scientists and technicians of tomorrow.

Our focus is on engineering, a real interest in the environment and in creating a sustainable future. We will work with leading employers to give you the real skills, real experience and real qualifications you will need to succeed in the workplace, at university and beyond.

If you are passionate about the environment and sustainability then engineering could be the way you get to make a real difference to the world in which we live. At the UTC you will learn how engineering drives our life, our economy and shapes our future …
•Use your knowledge of chemistry to develop products that are 100% recyclable
•Learn how maths can help solve the environmental challenges of droughts and floods
•Find out how things work and use science to invent a new generation of energy efficient products
•Learn to design and programme computer systems that can, for example, run energy recovery plants to operate completely unmanned.

You will be tackling those subjects in exciting new ways, in the context of real life situations. Hands-on with technology. Making, testing and evaluating.With the opportunity to experience the world of work as you learn. Learning from professionals in business and industry. With teacher who are genuinely passionate about their subject and its applications.

If that sounds exciting, and you would like to find out more about our GCSE, A Level and BTec courses, why not come and meet our Principal at one of our events coming up soon? If you would like to find out more first you can download a copy of our prospectus.
