Dr Tim Whitaker

Principal and Chief Executive Officer

We are very proud to introduce University Centre Askham Bryan to you as an outstanding provider of land-based higher education.

University Centre Askham Bryan is the perfect place to study if your passion lies in the outdoors. With our fantastic range of educational facilities, industry specialist lecturers and easy access to the stunning Yorkshire countryside, your student experience will be second to none. At Askham Bryan College, our higher education provision provides our undergraduates and postgraduates with the skills to adapt and prosper within an ever-changing industry, and to add value to the communities they live and work in.

Our strength lies through our invaluable partnership with employers – a feature singled out for recognition in the College’s most recent Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) report.

Faced with the opportunity of sustaining and enhancing the rapidly changing environment we live in, the land-based sector is extremely dynamic and diverse. Driven by constantly changing legislative, technological and consumer demands and an overall requirement for scientific research, there is a strong industry need for well trained, higher- level skilled graduates. We pride ourselves on enabling our students to become independent researchers – many of whom have had their research successfully published in peer-reviewed forums.

Your learning will be underpinned by the competencies and skills demanded by your chosen industry.

Our graduates leave us not only with the desire, motivation and skills to succeed but having had fun and gained lifelong memories and friendships.
