Award-winning and high achieving students, graduates, governors and staff are a recurring theme this year. Achievement is central to our ethos at WUC and is embedded into our culture as an institution.
The achievement of University College status and the launch of Writtle University College in August has been a defining moment in our long history. These are very exciting times at WUC and we are looking forward to sharing another successful year with you in 2017.
With investment in our facilities, including the Farm and Recreation and Fitness Centre, we have shown our committment to enhancing the student experience. Work is also underway at our equine campus with the build of a second therapy barn.
Here's a look back on just some of our highlights from what has been a truly memorable 2016 at WUC.
