We’re the first school in the UK to specialise in science and health care for students aged 14 – 19. Liverpool Life Sciences University Technical College (UTC) combines outstanding academic education with specialist vocational qualifications, to prepare our students for the world of work.
Co-located with The Studio
Liverpool Life Sciences UTC and The Studio School are both based in the CUC building. We have a range of amazing facilities including lab spaces, a mock hospital suite, an engineering room, and many fantastic learning spaces. As we are co-located with The Studio School we share a cinema, refectories, gym and sports hall. Students can select subjects from both schools and are taught together in Key Stage 4.
Where we are
The Baltic Triangle is the perfect location for our UTC. In what’s described as an “old meets new” setup, the Baltic Triangle’s historic architecture is where many emerging health and technology businesses and entrepreneurs have set up shop.

What is a UTC?
You can join a UTC at either 14 or 16. Modern, professional and progressive, UTCs offer a unique educational experience; partnering with local businesses and universities to provide specialised training, alongside teaching the traditional curriculum. Established in 2010, UTCs have revolutionised education in the UK, allowing students to combine traditional GCSEs and A-Levels with specialist vocational qualifications such as BTECs and T-Levels.
