Come and see for yourself
Our open days are designed to give you as much information as possible about University College Birmingham, the course you are interested in studying and our superb facilities. They are a great opportunity to get an insight into our unique atmosphere.
Explore our industry-led apprenticeships
If you like the thought of hands-on study and earning while you learn, an apprenticeship could be for you. There are so many reasons why you should choose to study with us, but don't just take our word for it.
Meet the apprenticeships team
Our Open Days are the perfect opportunity to meet our Centre for Apprenticeships team, and find out about the options that are available to you. Our team will advise on how you can enhance your future career, by working alongside various companies, organisations and experts in your preferred field.
Explore our facilities
Our college students particularly enjoy the fact they have the opportunity to learn in world-class facilities that are just like in the working world.
More than £140 million has gone into our campuses, equipment and resources in recent years, from our industry-standard training kitchens to our tourism and aviation suite, bakery department, dedicated IT facilities and business hub.
All of our campuses are within a short walking distance of each other and while we can’t take you around just now, we hope our facilities page will inspire you.
Information for parents
While our apprenticeships do go up to degree level, many of our apprentices are school leavers. From the moment your son or daughter arrives, they will benefit from outstanding support from the apprenticeships team, tutors and our student services team. Every apprentice should feel valued.
We want you to feel reassured and you will be able to ask any questions you might have at the open day. In the meantime, find out a bit more.
