Truro & Penwith

The University Centre Truro & Penwith is key to the future of higher education in Cornwall.  With our continued, sector-led course developments, Truro's South West Institute of Technology Valency building and the STEM & Health Skills Centre in Bodmin, the College’s 19+ provision is moving forward into a new era, emphasised by our latest project; Cornwall Space and Aerospace Technology Training (CSATT).

Why Choose the University Centre

There are many reasons why students choose to study with us. We strive to be high quality, friendly and student focused and our staff recognise that their job is to teach and support students so that they can graduate and move into a successful career.

Cornwall is fast gaining recognition for its spirit of innovation, creativity and entrepreneurialism, and has a can-do, inclusive culture that attracts people of all ages, backgrounds and personalities. Studying at the University Centre, with access and links to some of the region's most dynamic industries and organisations, puts you at the heart of this transformation.

Our courses are approved by the University of Plymouth, University of Greenwich, or Pearson, the national provider of HNC and HND qualifications.
