The University Centre Bishop Burton (UCBB) is a pioneering higher education institution based in Bishop Burton, UK. It offers students all the benefits of learning at a small institution, like small class sizes and a personalised teaching model, while maintaining the resources and facilities typical of a major city university.
The university centre specialises in land-based education, where students are able to make use of outstanding facilities set within a beautiful rural environment. Expert tutors with applied industry experience are on hand to offer one-on-one support in a way that many other universities can’t. In fact, the individual support offered at UCBB is one of the institution’s key strengths.
UCBB prepares its students for professional success after their studies.
