**The Leigh UTC** is a [University Technical College](/source/University_Technical_College) (UTC) for the [Dartford](/source/Dartford) area of Kent, England, that opened in September 2014. The UTC specialises in Engineering and Computer Sciences.

Building work started in October 2013 at the Bridge development, where [Joyce Green Hospital](/source/Joyce_Green_Hospital) once stood. The main building opened to students in September 2014.

The Leigh UTC has a project-based approach to learning.

As with all UTCs, a number of businesses and organisations support the College. These include:

- [University of Greenwich](/source/University_of_Greenwich)
- [Bluewater](/source/Bluewater_(shopping_centre))
- Kenard Engineering
- [Eurostar](/source/Eurostar)

The Leigh UTC has opened a five-form entry Key Stage 3 feeder college, the Inspiration Academy, on the UTC site, in effect converting the education model into one of an 11–18 free school.[1]

The Leigh UTC is part of [Leigh Academies Trust](/source/Leigh_Academies_Trust).
