University College Birmingham

University College Birmingham is based in Birmingham City Centre, there are 7,500 students on Further and Higher Education programmes including 1100 international students from 63 countries. The College has long enjoyed very close links with the industries it serves; a point highlighted in the commendation for our Queen’s Anniversary Award for Higher and Further Education in 1998. Links with industry take many forms ranging from bespoke training to product development.

The School operated from a number of sites around the City and the archives record the establishment of a cookery room in 1916 and domestic cookery classes in 1918. In 1927 the name of the School was changed to the Central Technical College. By the 1950s the College had been renamed the College of Technology and a department of Bakery and Domestic Science had been established. In 1956 Birmingham’s Chief Education Officer, E L Russell, recommended to the Local Education Authority the setting up of a separate college dealing with catering, bakery and domestic science.
