About Yeovil
Yeovil is a rapidly growing, lively place to live and study. Set in the heart of the Somerset countryside, less than an hour from Dorset's spectacular coastline, Yeovil boasts a wealth of shops, restaurants, nightlife and leisure facilities including the new Yeovale leisure complex with a state-of-the-art health club, 10 pin bowling centre and multi-screen cinema.
Local businesses, including world-class high-tech engineering companies, are ever-expanding to incorporate the most up-to-date technology and skills. But to stay one step ahead, Yeovil needs a talented, dynamic workforce.
This is the job of the University Centre Yeovil. We offer university-level courses in co-operation with local businesses which equip our students with the practical and academic expertise to reach their full potential and help local businesses to achieve theirs. Financial assistance is available, learning is flexible and there is a childcare facility on-site.
If you would like to achieve a vocational or academic qualification to degree level in a supportive, modern environment, the University Centre Yeovil is the place for you. There is no need to move away, to give up work or to suffer financially in order to be a success!
There are over 250 shops, two theatres and a large multiplex cinema and a bowling alley. Yeovil also boasts the Alpine Village for Skiing & Snowboarding open year round and the British Bob Skeleton Centre of Excellence!
We have countless restaurants, nightclubs & pubs and a thriving music scene to while away your evenings and a local carnival for fun and frolics.
For keeping in shape, Yeovil has Cannons Gym and Health Complex and the County Athletics Track as well as the first division Yeovil Town Football Club. We also have a driving range for golf fans and Nine Springs Country Park for nature lovers.
