University College Birmingham
With more than 7,500 students, University College Birmingham today is unrecognizable from the small Victorian classes where it all started.
Today, hospitality managers, aviation executives, dazzling hairdressers and makeup artists, educators, chefs, bakers, tourism industry experts, business leaders, and creative entrepreneurs learn skills for life at a university hailed for its vocational training, academic achievements, and cultural diversity.
We have invested £130 million in our campuses and facilities, including building McIntyre House and Moss House, since 2014. These ambitious projects represent a bold statement of intent beyond the dreams of Birmingham’s early educational pioneers.
History
The university was founded as part of Birmingham's Municipal Technical School (predecessor of Aston University) in the 19th century but became a separate College of Bakery, Catering, Domestic Science and Associated Studies (later Birmingham College of Food and Domestic Arts) under the control of Birmingham City Council in 1957. It moved to its present site in Summer Row from Brasshouse Passage in 1967, with the official opening in 1968. It was renamed Birmingham College of Food, Tourism and Creative Studies (BCFTCS) in the 1980s to reflect the breadth of courses it by then offered. Its name was changed again, to University College Birmingham (UCB), in 2007. It is often colloquially known as the College of Cakes or sometimes simply “cakes and pies”.
As part of a general re-organization of further education in the United Kingdom, the college became independent of council control on 1 April 1993. Continued expansion led to the college being re-classified as part of the higher education sector from 1 August 2002, although it continues to offer further education courses as well.
The college was granted the right to award its own degrees by the Privy Council in November 2007, giving it the status of a university college. In January 2008 this was reflected when it was renamed University College Birmingham.
