Alfred H Knight, Lab Metalytics Project - Five students from Liverpool Life Sciences UTC, Monas, Kira, Jess, Alex and Lucy were awarded trophies for their work.

Working with employers, universities and the public sector is very important to us here at Liverpool Life Sciences UTC for a variety of reasons.

First and foremost, the real-world experience that it affords our students is second to none. By working with a carefully-curated collection of award-winning businesses, universities and public bodies, our students can build an invaluable bank of contacts in the areas of work they are interested in entering, after they graduate from us.

As well as having all the traditional curriculum qualifications under their belts, our students also gain the wealth of relevant skills employers look for in potential job candidates, in the science and health sectors.

By brokering prospective career opportunities for our students, we give them the confidence and motivation to apply for that all-important job or university place.

Our sponsors and partners play an integral role in making all this possible. Last year, every student at UTC secured a relevant placement; over 20 visits to industry took place, as well as over 190 hours of industry-inspired project-based learning, alongside two seminar afternoons. This led to unconditional UCAS offers, and jobs and internships with our business partners being secured by our year 13 students.

Ford Philanthropy

We have partnered with Ford Philanthropy (former Ford Fund), to offer our students at Liverpool Life Sciences UTC and The Studio School an amazing opportunity to engage in project-based learning activities. This collaboration will enable our students to learn from the experts and apply their skills and knowledge to real-world challenges.

Our students will have the chance to work on extended projects (EPQs) that will explore topics such as how to reduce carbon emissions, how to improve public transport systems, how to design accessible vehicles, and how to use data analytics to optimise efficiency and quality. These projects will not only enhance their academic performance, but also develop their creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration skills.

We are very grateful to Ford Philanthropy for supporting us in this initiative and for sharing their expertise and resources with us. We believe that this is a great way to inspire our students and prepare them for their future careers in the rapidly evolving sectors of advanced manufacturing within the city region. We look forward to working with them and seeing the amazing outcomes of our students’ projects. Find out more about Ford Philanthropy's investment in the wider city region here.
