Print this pageAbout UCY
We offer a wide range of full and part-time courses many of which can be studied to Foundation degree or Honours degree level.
The University Centre Yeovil (UCY), a partnership between Bournemouth University, the University of Exeter and Yeovil College, is located on Preston Road in the heart of Yeovil, but set back from this busy thoroughfare and surrounded by trees, shrubs and ample parking. The building, purchased by Bournemouth University and refurbished to a very high standard, contains a 100 seat lecture theatre, eight teaching rooms seating between 12 and 30 students, an AppleMac design suite, two state of the art PC suites and an open study area with ample IT access and café area . This is backed up by the resources of nearby Yeovil College including an extensive library, fitness centre and sports hall.
In September 2007 the UCY launched a further £1 million development to extend the teaching and support facilities available to students by developing the upstairs facilities within the building. The centre now benefits from additional modern teaching rooms, an extended IT access area and cafeteria.
The UCY adds significantly to our ability to provide university-level programmes. In particular, we are progressively adding a wide range of healthcare programmes taught by Bournemouth University staff.
Our aim is to provide people with the chance to achieve their full potential and gain a work related university qualification. Most of our courses allow students to retain significant levels of employment whilst studying. This not only helps to reduce student debt, but it also provides opportunities to link theory with practice. We aim to make a difference: to the students who come here and to those who will benefit from the knowledge and skills our students develop. We hope that you enjoy reading our prospectus and we look forward to welcoming you to the University Centre Yeovil.
