About us

University Centre Sparsholt (UCS) offers a truly diverse and exciting range of courses which can take your higher education journey to the next level.

We believe a qualification from UCS means more than just a piece of paper. It means practical, hands-on experience, research opportunities and industry connections to prepare you from day one for your future career in your chosen specialist field.

Our lecturers have wide ranging industry experience and are as excited about their specialist subject as you are. The teaching team is highly qualified with extensive industry contacts, all of which they are keen to share with you both on campus in the specialist facilities and off-campus at industry sites.

At UCS you won’t be a number in a large class, our dedicated HE team take time to get to know their students on first name terms and make themselves available for queries and support when they are not teaching.
