University Campus Oldham (UCO) is a small and friendly campus that offers you all the superb facilities and top-class learning opportunities you would expect from a large university. There is a strong emphasis on community and support at UCO which you do not always find at large universities and this ensures that all our students feel at home in Oldham.
From August 2012 courses at the Oldham campus will be run by The Oldham College, who will also be offering a range of new programmes. All these programmes will be validated by the University, and will lead to a University of Huddersfield award.
The diverse mix of students at UCO ensures that you will meet lots of people from different backgrounds and hopefully this will enrich your experience during your time with us. Students enjoy their time with us at UCO, however your enjoyment doesn’t come without results. An impressive 94% of graduates at UCO go on to find employment or further study within six months of leaving us; this is much higher than the national average.
Situated only eight miles from Manchester city centre, University Campus Oldham can offer you a welcoming and friendly environment where you are treated as an individual.
