Professor Michael Harkin, Vice-Chancellor and Principal, University College Birmingham said: “We were pleased to have welcomed Lord Wharton to University College Birmingham and share with him the myriad ways the University excels. Our exceptional student support, innovative curriculum, first-class facilities and superb teaching are all part of our commitment to delivering the skills needed for our students to have successful, fulfilling careers.”

Lord Wharton also had an open discussion with students from Tourism Management, Culinary Arts Management, Nursing and Aviation Management courses, who spoke about student life, their priorities and challenges, and their future plans after graduation. 

Lord Wharton then toured the facilities, including the cutting-edge nursing suite with simulation hospital ward and lifesize mannikins, the business trading suite in the Business School, the STEM facilities in Camden House and the Human Performance Centre within Moss House.
