New multi-million-pound sixth form centre to support launch A-level courses

University College Birmingham is to begin offering a range of A-level courses as part of a major multi-million-pound investment in a brand new sixth form centre.

Set to open in September 2024, the new centre will be based at the University’s Camden House campus building (pictured above) in Birmingham city centre, offering a wealth of new study options for post-16 learners as well as creating new jobs.

The centre will offer A-levels across a wide variety of subjects – from maths, English and sciences to history, criminology, sociology, psychology, health and social care, business and sport – while students will also be able to mix subject areas with vocational options.

Learners will also have access to University facilities and support, including admissions experts and careers advisors who can provide help on applications for university and employment, offering unique opportunities to progress onto higher education within their existing study environment.

Andy Street, Mayor of the West Midlands, said: "Ensuring young people in our region have access to high quality education and training will change their life prospects for the better at the same time as helping us to attract and retain key professional industries in the months and years ahead. 

"These new plans set out by University College Birmingham provide a strong offering across technical and academic disciplines in great facilities. Congratulations to them on this exciting initiative."
