University of Birmingham degree accreditations (1996-2021)
From 1996, University College Birmingham maintained an accreditation agreement with the University of Birmingham.
Through this agreement, University College Birmingham offered students a range of degrees from undergraduate to postgraduate level studied with University College Birmingham and awarded by the University of Birmingham.
This was a very successful partnership and we continued to maintain links with University of Birmingham to ensure the highest possible quality of experience, as thousands of students complete their degrees studied with University College Birmingham and awarded by University of Birmingham.
The final intake of students who enrolled on our University of Birmingham-accredited degree courses in October 2021 will be awarded by University of Birmingham on completion of their programme at our graduation ceremonies in September 2025.
If you require any further information regarding this, or need replacement transcripts or documents for your University of Birmingham degree studied with University College Birmingham, please contact registry@ucb.ac.uk.
Please note that, since September 2022, some of our degree courses are accredited by the University of Warwick. From September 2025, the majority of our degree courses will be accredited by University College Birmingham only.
You can browse through our undergraduate and postgraduate courses to see which degrees will be accredited by University College Birmingham and which will be accredited by the University of Warwick in 2025 and 2026. Students currently studying for a University of Warwick degree will be unaffected by any changes and will be awarded their degree by the University of Warwick on completion of their course.
For more information, please see our University of Warwick accreditation page.
