The open day is being hosted at St Marks Church, Church Place, Swindon, SN1 5EH, where you can join one of two presentations; 11.00am or 12.00 noon.

The open day is free for everyone to attend. An explanation of the curriculum will be provided by Principal Angela Barker-Dench and there will be a presentation describing the specialist engineering education, the types of engineering careers available and how to apply for places.

Angela Barker-Dench, said, "We want to make ourselves as available as possible to parents and students, so it was obvious that we needed to hold an informative open day on a weekend. We welcome all those who are thinking about applying and those who have been accepted to find out more about this exceptional education."

UTC Swindon will be run by a Trust sponsored by Johnson Matthey Fuel Cells and Oxford Brookes University. There are over 60 different industry partners involved with the University Technical College.

UTC Swindon will be opening its doors in September 2014 and its vision is to be a college where engineering and innovation can flourish. It will cater for 600 14 to 19 year olds interested in pursuing a career in engineering. For these young people, it will provide a fantastic opportunity to gain highly desirable skills and raise their aspirations in progressing to careers in the engineering industry in all its diverse forms.

As part of the original Great Western Rail works, the UTC Swindon site creates a link between the ‘historic engineering' and the ‘engineering future' of the local area.
