Shireland Biomedical UTC Sixth Form is excited to announce its upcoming open event on Tuesday 27 January 2026, 4.30pm - 6.00pm for prospective students and their parents. This will include a Principal talk at 5.00pm.  

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.
