Historia
University technical colleges (UTCs) are government-funded schools that offer 14-19 year olds technical and scientific subjects in a different way to traditional education. UTCs focus on one of two technical specialisms and operate a longer school day to more closely align with a business working day. Governance is by employers and a local university, who help to develop and deliver the curriculum. UTCs are smaller than traditional secondary schools. They are not academically selective and charge no fees. UTCs typically have 600 students, are sub regional and have a catchment area that may extend across a number of local authorities.
The South Bank UTC specialises in engineering for building and health sectors. Other partners are Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, PURICO and SKANSKA. The College opened in September 2016 on Brixton Hill.
