Introducing the South Central Institute of Technology at Bletchley, Oxford and Reading

Inspiring the next generation of digital visionaries

The world has transformed in 2020. In an era of unprecedented technological growth, nobody could predict the changes coming our way. This new world calls for a generation of digital innovators; people who challenge perceptions and break boundaries. People who don’t want to sit back, but want to have a hands-on role in using technology for good.

That’s where the South Central Institute of Technology (SCIoT) comes in. Created by a consortium led by Milton Keynes College, and including leading brands such as Microsoft, KPMG, McAfee, and Cranfield University, the South Central Institute of Technology was granted a sum of £28 million by the Department for Education to create a digital learning hub with state-of the-art-facilities. Situated in Bletchley, the South Central Institute of Technology provides higher level technical qualifications for a new generation of digital visionaries.

Bletchley, Oxford and Reading – the perfect location to launch the digital revolution

With its hub at Bletchley, and satellite campuses at Oxford and Reading, the South Central Institute of Technology is perfectly situated. The Bletchley site straddles computing history and the hi-tech future, with its close proximity to Milton Keynes, an ultra-modern city that continually embraces new technologies, creating a dynamic, innovative environment for Digital Tech companies. The city has pioneered new technology infrastructure developments including fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) and 4G mobile networks. Milton Keynes is at the forefront of developing new methods of transportation, with the UK’s first driverless ‘pods’ in a pedestrian environment.

The city is home to 3,750 ICT companies and a workforce that rivals the UK’s major cities in scale. And by creating campuses in Oxford and Reading, the South Central Institute of Technology helps to contribute to productivity and skills development across the wider region, including much of the Oxford-Cambridge arc, and the technology organisations based around the M4 corridor.
