Shireland Biomedical UTC Sixth Form is excited to announce its upcoming open event on Tuesday 22 October 2024, 4.30pm-7.00pm for prospective students and their parents. No booking required – simply turn up.
Shireland Biomedical UTC is proud to be the UK’s first University Technical College (UTC) specialising in the medical sciences. We offer a distinctive education that seamlessly integrates the best of academic knowledge with practical experience.
Our sixth form offers a broad range of A level and vocational courses designed to meet the diverse needs and aspirations of our students. With unique facilities, including mock hospital ward and immersive learning space, we bring students’ education to life by applying it to real-world context, fostering a supportive and innovative environment that enriches their learning experience.
Through partnerships with leading employers and institutions like Birmingham City University, our students also gain invaluable industry exposure, including work experience, employer-based projects and comprehensive career guidance. This ensures that our learners develop the skills and connections needed for success, whether they choose to pursue university degrees, apprenticeships or direct employment.
During this event, families will have the opportunity to tour the Academy’s state-of-the-art facilities, explore our broad curriculum and meet with the Academy’s teaching staff and leadership team. They will also gain a comprehensive insight about student life at sixth form, equipping them with the information needed to make an informed decision about their post-16 education.
Head of Sixth Form, Kayleigh Steed, said: “Our philosophy is to provide a traditional sixth form experience that nurtures well-rounded, independent learners equipped with the skills and knowledge for a fulfilling and successful future. We are dedicated to helping every student reach their full potential and we look forward to welcoming families to our open event to explore the unique opportunities we offer.
“To ensure you get the most out of your visit, please arrive early and allow ample time for the event. You’ll have the opportunity to see our facilities, learn more about our post-16 offering and meet our team, who are here to help you make the right choice for you after formal education.”
