University Technical Colleges

The University of Northampton is proud to be a co-sponsor in two University Technical Colleges (UTCs).

UTCs are a relatively new concept in education, and are designed to offer 14-19 year-olds an opportunity to take full time, technically-oriented courses.  Once opened, the UTCs will become part of a national network as proposed by Lord Baker and the late Ron Dearing of the Baker-Dearing Educational Trust. 

For more information please access the UTC website. 

Daventry UTC

The lead sponsor, Moulton College, will work with the University, local authority partners and employers such as Cummins Ltd, Cosworth, DHL, ProLogis, Hiforce and SDC to create the Daventry UTC.
