Centre For Alternative Technology | United Kingdom

Welcome to the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT), one of the most forward looking and innovative higher education institutions in the UK. Located in the foothills of the Snowdonia National Park and reached by a water balanced funicular railway, you won’t find a more inspiring place to escape everyday life and immerse yourself in study. The Centre has led pioneering education on sustainability, green architecture, and renewable energy for more than 40 years; CAT’s Graduate School of the Environment is now in its 11th year and is renowned for providing high calibre graduates who go on to make a real difference in the world of sustainability. The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) carried out a thorough review of the Graduate School’s academic standards and student learning opportunities. CAT received two commendations, focusing on the enhancement and quality of student learning opportunities. One of the current students featured in the review commented that “I absolutely love the course, the location, the tutors and the whole experience. It’s nothing less than life changing.”
