Discovery, part of Dimensions, supports autistic people and people with learning disabilities, behaviours of distress and complex health needs across the South West.
This is how we do it:
We believe in fostering ambition and unlocking potential, not just focusing on exam results. That’s why our motto is: DEGREES FOR REAL LIFE.
At UCS, we value individual talents, aspirations, and the unique paths each of our students take on their journey to success. We’re not just about textbooks and tests. We’re about cultivating confidence, nurturing skills, and providing practical, real-world experiences that transform our students into professionals.
Through our strong partnerships with major employers, we provide our students with not just a degree, but a comprehensive toolbox of skills, knowledge, and experiences that translate seamlessly into their future careers.
If you have a disability, long-term health condition or complex non-health barrier which has made getting into and staying in employment difficult, Connect to Work could help you.
