digital welcome pack
We hope that you are excited to start this new journey with us and we wanted to provide some information about University Centre Newbury (UCN) and your chosen programme of study.
As you look to achieve your degree locally, we are here to support you. We welcome a wide range of people at UCN from those just leaving sixth form to those who are coming to us from industry.
Whether this is the next step in your learning or you are engaging in education after time out in the workplace, our highly trained staff will guide you through the application and enrolment process.
Why UCN?
HNC/HND and vocational degree paths are more focused on your chosen industry and career goals than a traditional degree programme. In addition to opening up new job opportunities, vocational degrees can also help existing employees advance in their existing careers.
HNC/HND and vocational degree paths offer opportunities to gain practical skills and experience through hands-on learning and specialised training. These skills can make graduates more competitive in the employment market or their current workplace.
Your curriculum is informed and shaped by our relationships with employers and other business partners to ensure you develop the skill and knowledge that the industry wants. Opportunities to interact with employers and showcase your learning will help to build your own relationship and promote career advancement.
