University College Birmingham, is a university in Birmingham, England. It was awarded full University status in 2012 along with Newman University.〔(University status awarded to two Birmingham colleges ) Birmingham Mail, 27 Nov 2012〕 The university is located in central Birmingham and offers both vocational and academic education at both undergraduate and postgraduate level. The university specialises in the areas of hospitality and the culinary arts, hairdressing and beauty, tourism, business enterprise, marketing, business management, accounting, finance, events management, sports management, sports medicine, sports therapy and Early Years education. == History == The university was originally founded as part of Birmingham's Municipal Technical School (predecessor of Aston University) in the 19th century, but became a separate ''College of Bakery, Catering, Domestic Science and Associated Studies'' (later ''Birmingham College of Food and Domestic Arts'') under the control of Birmingham City Council in 1957. It moved to its present site in Summer Row in 1968 and was renamed Birmingham College of Food, Tourism and Creative Studies (BCFTCS) in the 1980s to reflect the breadth of courses it by then offered. Its name was changed again, to University College Birmingham (UCB), in 2007. As part of a general re-organisation of further education in the United Kingdom, the college became independent of council control on April 1, 1993. Continued expansion led to the college being re-classified as part of the higher education sector from August 1, 2002, although it continues to offer further education courses as well. The college was granted the right to award its own degrees by the Privy Council in November 2007, giving it the status of a university college.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=College granted Degree Awarding Powers )〕 In January 2008 this was reflected when it was renamed University College Birmingham.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Proud Past.
