All students at UTC Heathrow specialise in either Engineering or Digital areas; at 14 they study a broad and balanced curriculum including English Language and Literature and at Post 16 the curriculum becomes more specialised with qualifications in Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science being studied alongside their specialist BTEC Level 3 course in Engineering or IT. UTC Heathrow will, in the words of Michael Gove, ‘inspire and train the next generation of engineers, technicians, craftsmen and industrial innovators’.
