UCBeyond - Alumni Society
Welcome to UCBeyond, the University’s alumni society. We pride ourselves on being a small, friendly institution and we love keeping in touch with our graduates. It’s easy to renew acquaintances with old friends and colleagues and you will find details on how to reconnect with University College Birmingham – and update us with your news.
Maybe you have just graduated, or perhaps you studied with us when we were the Birmingham College of Food, Tourism and Creative Studies, or the Birmingham College of Food and Domestic Arts. You might have studied here in an even earlier incarnation.
Whenever you completed your studies, we would love you to become a member of the University College Birmingham community with UCBeyond. Please click on the “Where are U now?” button below and complete the short form. It only takes a couple of minutes. Why not take a look at where some of our graduates are now.
