In autumn 2018, the RNN Group opened a new £10.5million University Centre (UCR) in Rotherham town centre on Doncaster Gate, near our Rotherham College Town Centre Campus. UCR offers state-of-the-art facilities and a wide variety of degree courses accredited by top universities and awarding bodies, including Sheffield Hallam University and the University of Hull, with plans for over 50 courses to be running at UCR by 2020.

17.4% of the population in Rotherham and Bassetlaw have a Level 4 qualification or higher, compared to the national percentage of 27.4%. University Centre Rotherham will play a vital role in closing this gap, increasing access to higher-level skills.

We have been working closely with 200 of the over 1,000 employers we have links with to develop courses that particularly meet a need for the local economy and input into the planning of essential initiatives such as work experience placements and guest lectures.

For more information and to keep up-to-date on any news regarding the new University Centre, please make sure you come back to visit this page as we will provide the most accurate information, or visit the UCR website.
