UCB is in the heart of Birmingham, a city with one of the youngest, most diverse populations in Europe – not to mention more than 65,000 students. It’s a combination that creates a vibrant atmosphere, with plenty of nightlife, cultural attractions and excitement.
All this activity is minutes away from our halls of residence in the city centre. Teaching benefits from our central location too. We’re based in the conference and hotel quarter, which means opportunities for practical experience are on our doorstep.
Successful specialist courses depend on the best equipment and teaching facilities. We’re investing heavily in the right resources, with our new Moss House centre for undergraduate studies, boasting outstanding sports facilities and real-life simulation suites for health and social care, opening at the start of the 2019/20 academic year. This builds on our investment into McIntyre House, a centre for undergraduate and postgraduate studies, which opened in 2014.
Our approachable staff work with smaller-than-average class sizes to enhance the individual teaching experience. In addition to well-equipped classrooms, we have a comprehensively stocked, specialist library where students benefit from the latest e-learning resources.
A Great Place to Study
There is nowhere quite like University College Birmingham. Not only are we Europe’s leading specialist in management courses for the culinary arts, hospitality and tourism management, but we are also situated in the heart of one of Britain’s most vibrant cities. Our students enjoy the best of both worlds, academic and cultural.
Our vocational degree courses, experienced tutors and strong links with business give students the skills they need to tackle a career in a range of rapidly expanding industries. As well as excellent tuition, we pride ourselves on being a friendly place to study. As specialists, we are not a huge university and our facilities are spread over three sites and within a few minutes’ walk of each building.
