What is University Technical College Norfolk?

University Technical College Norfolk (UTCN) is an exciting school created to develop tomorrow’s engineering, health and technology specialists. UTCN provides a comprehensive educational foundation for any student who has an interest in engineering, health, science, technology, maths or computing.

‘University technical colleges (UTCs) are government-funded schools that offer 14–19 year olds a great deal more than traditional schools. They teach students technical and scientific subjects in a whole new way and are educating the inventors, engineers, scientists and technicians of tomorrow.’
