University Centre Newbury (UCN) is now open and bringing higher education opportunities to West Berkshire.
UCN provides a solution for the community that sees the continuous development of higher education to support businesses to develop talented employees and enable adults to excel in their careers while gaining nationally-recognised qualifications.
We offer a huge array of flexible learning options to suit the needs of businesses and the community. Students enrolling with us will be able to build their professional development up to postgraduate qualifications, through partnerships with Bucks New University and the University of Northampton without the need to relocate. We provide degrees and other higher-level qualifications in the key sectors of Business & Finance, Leadership & Management, Digital Technologies, Engineering, Graphic Design, Health & Social Care, and Children’s Development & Learning.

The course has taught me a lot about children’s learning development, and I’m applying what I’ve learnt so far within my role at the school where I work. Studying for a degree in Newbury is an advantage to me. I was thrilled that UCN’s partnership with the University of Reading made this possible for me. More...
