Visitors will be among the first to meet the new teaching staff at the specialist science college for 14 to 19 year-olds, and find out more about the UTC’s ground-breaking Challenge Projects – a key part of its curriculum.

The college, which opens in September and will focus on biomedical and environmental science and technology, is still taking applications from students for entry this year.

The Open Day will give visitors the chance to find out more about the £10 million college, sited next to the Cambridge Biomedical Campus, with a series of presentations followed by question and answer sessions.

Sponsored by Cambridge Regional College and Cambridge University Health Partners, the UTC is backed by leading employers including the Babraham Institute, Napp Pharmaceuticals and the Medical Research Council.

The state-funded UTC, which is open to students within a 25-mile radius of Cambridge, will teach GCSEs, A levels and practical qualifications alongside the industry-led Challenge Projects.

The Open Day, which takes place on Saturday, 21 June, from 10am to 1pm, will be held at the Deakin Centre at Addenbrooke’s Hospital – close to the college’s Robinson Way site.
