Liverpool Life Sciences Utc

Liverpool Life Sciences UTC is the first school in the UK to specialise in Science and Health Care for 14 to 19 year olds. The UTC provides outstanding academic and vocational education by working closely with local employers to create the next generation of scientists, healthcare practitioners, engineers and entrepreneurs. We run a longer school day which allows us time to invest in more than just delivering an exceptional core school curriculum. Students experience masterclasses each week from industry experts, the University of Liverpool and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospital Trust. Students participate in half termly industry inspired projects. Most recent of which, based upon the work of Eden Biodesign, helped students to understand recombinant proteins and their role in the development of therapies such as insulin. Students were able to present their research back to a team of experts from Eden Biodesign., A fantastic opportunity to build the confidence of our students, whilst helping industry partners to cherry pick the talent of the future. We also run an extensive work placement plan to help students understand the vast range of opportunities available in this sector and gain valuable experience, opening doors to work and supporting their applications to universities. We work with a range of businesses across the life science sector, including Redx Pharma, Pro-Lab Diagnostics, MAST, Nutricia, Eden Biodesgin plus many more to ensure we are grounded within the future skills these businesses need and that we in turn are able to deliver students with the skills, understanding and experience they need to support workforce planning. We are interested to hear from any businesses within the sector that would like to understand more about what we’re doing and would be interested in promoting their business and roles to our students. Likewise, we are always keen to hear from exceptional teachers who might be interested to join us.
