AECC University College is a small and specialist health sciences Higher Education provider in the South of England. AECC UC sits in the Stem cluster of Universities and sent our first return for the KEF narrative exercise in 2023. Our vision within our strategic plan is to ‘Establish ourselves as an anchor University for knowledge exchange and economic development within our local community’. We have a number of KE projects currently funded with ambitions to increasing the number of research and knowledge exchange partnerships we have with the health and care sector in the next five years.
