University College Birmingham

Creating ‘work-ready’ graduates, we are renowned for our industry focused degrees that combine academic theory with practical skills and powerful placements that prepare you for the real life of work. If this sounds appealing, we have a whole spectrum of excellent degrees that will suit you down to the ground.

There’s no doubt that, today, a degree is a significant financial investment, and over the past five years, we have spent in excess of £130 million on cutting-edge facilities to give you the very best student experience. We’d welcome the chance to show you around.

Supporting students is paramount at University College Birmingham. Our doors are always open, whether you are looking for guidance on writing dissertations, help with job interviews or need support from our health and wellbeing team. You are never just a number.

Not only are we Europe’s leading specialist in management courses for the culinary arts, hospitality and tourism, our students also go on to forge global careers in sport, the creative services, business, finance, education, healthcare and community.

Crucially, we are a welcoming university with strong industry links related to the sectors we represent to give your degree even more impact when you graduate. We make sure our students get the very best, real-life working experience during their studies, making them ‘career-ready' for a range of rapidly expanding sectors.

We are also recognised by government and employer bodies as a centre of vocational excellence, so you know you will be trained to a gold standard.

In size, we are a smaller-than-average university, which means we can give you a more individual teaching experience with enhanced support. Another huge attraction is that many of our degrees are accredited by the University of Birmingham, one of the world’s top-ranked universities.
