KS5 Curriculum
Studying in Year 12 and Year 13 at UTC Sheffield is focused and personal. You will join others who are passionate about their subjects and learn with specialist teachers. The emphasis is very much on developing all-round professionalism, so some of your time will be outside the classroom working with employers and engaging in our personal development programme. Our rich network of employer partners will ensure that you leave the UTC well connected with an exceptional awareness of how to succeed in your chosen field.
