Exciting things are happening for University College Birmingham's Birmingham College of Food and Department of Hospitality and Tourism students!

To mark Black History Month, we’re taking you back to September's graduations.

We had the honour of celebrating Charlene Wall who was awarded an Honorary Fellowship, and Yewanda Akinola, who was awarded an Honorary Professorship and Fellowship.

As we celebrate this year’s theme, Honouring Our Communities, we’re proud to recognise two exceptional women; one a trailblazing entrepreneur and one an award-winning engineer.

We’re so glad we captured this special moment for Charlene, made even more meaningful by having her family there to share in the recognition and celebrate alongside her.

🎓 What does working at a university actually look like?

This summer, 16 pupils from six Birmingham schools took part in the pilot UCB-Titan Work Experience Programme.

From building confidence and professional skills to exploring future career pathways, the programme gave young people valuable insight into the world of work, and gave them hands-on experience across a range of departments at University College Birmingham.

We're proud to have worked with Titan Partnership and local schools to help inspire the region's future talent and broaden aspirations for young people across Birmingham.
