Academies
UCS College Group is proud to offer a diverse range of Academies, enrichment opportunities, and clubs for students to join during their time at College. Whether you’re interested in the ‘blue light’ services or want to join a choir, there’s something for everyone.
Something for everyone
We are committed to fostering a supportive and enriching environment where every student can thrive.
Aside from student-run clubs, such as LGBTQA+ and Dungeons & Dragons, and chill-out spaces like The Common Room, we offer formalised academies that focus on a specific hobby, interest, or career goal.
Each are led by industry experts, and often require a level of commitment throughout the academic year.

“I really enjoy the maintenance of habitats to keep the countryside accessible to the public. My work experience at the Grand Western Canal lets me do this on a wider level. My goal is to become a Ranger, and this course, with its focus on practical conservation and land management, is perfect for that.”
