Executive Principal’s welcome

Sam Knowlton

Executive Principal of UTC Oxfordshire

Welcome to UTC Oxfordshire, an extraordinary place where we help young people learn and prepare for their specialist careers in Science and Engineering.

I feel very privileged to be leading UTC Oxfordshire. Students in years 10 to 13 join us from across our region for an exciting and unique learning experience. We are based in brand new, state of the art facilities, in the heart of Oxfordshire, near an expanding cluster of science and engineering employers.

We are committed to helping our students gain the qualifications and experience that their future employers are looking for. Our curriculum combines core academic subjects with the opportunity to study and gain practical experience in our specialist areas. From day one, students are engaged in solving genuine problems using industry specialist equipment. This helps give them a headstart in their chosen careers.

Students at UTC Oxfordshire are supported by our committed and experienced teaching staff, and a wide range of industry partners such as BMW, The Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC), RM Education, and our sponsors, Activate Learning, Royal Holloway (University of London) and Reading University. We all work together, sharing our passion for science and engineering with our students, helping equip them with the knowledge and skills they will need for a successful career.

Please contact us to discuss any aspect of UTC Oxfordshire or to arrange a tour of our facilities.

I look forward to you joining us for this unique and exciting opportunity.
