Specialism

Liverpool Life Sciences UTC is a specialist Science and Healthcare College. This is where you will find information that sets us apart from other schools locally. Our specialisms and sector focused qualifications provide the bridge between education and industry.

Students are encouraged to take a core curriculum of GCSEs and/or A Levels, plus a range of sector focused qualifications. Business partners help to shape the curriculum by defining their skills requirements and providing projects, masterclasses and training that meets these needs.
