The UTC Cambridge will support the further expansion of the region's world-leading biomedical science and technology through the education of young people in the context of the scientific work of local biomedical and biotech employers and their need for particular knowledge and skills in young recruits.

Innovative curriculum design…
…linked to real and virtual workplace learning

The UTC curriculum is designed to enable all learners to become:

• Employees of first choice in their chosen specialist field
• Successful lifelong learners with effective and embedded deep learning strategies
• At ease and effectively engaged in both real and virtual workplaces
• Confident and competent
• Entrepreneurial and adventurous
• Proactively engaged in ecological and global issues

The UTC curriculum will be focused on innovative learning and teaching that is exciting and demanding in appropriate measures to ensure that all learners are fully engaged and proactive in developing good highly skilled deep learning habits.

This will permeate every aspect of the learners’ experience of being a member of the UTC community, from skills and knowledge acquisition and development through to participation in an extensive extra-curricular schedule.

Developing enterprising skills and qualities such as risk-taking, organisation, independent learning, team-working, problem-solving, innovation, creativity and financial awareness will be part of the UTC Cambridge.

The UTC will create an environment that places high value on active learning, positive achievement, and responsible sharing. The physical UTC environments will be technology-rich multi-specialist learning studios and plazas, each of which will be connected to a central support hub for both technical and learning support. There will be a suite of specialist core classrooms for English, Maths, MFL, Geography, and Informatics, along with less formal learning spaces, such as the Learning Resource Centre and one-to-one zones,
