History
edit
South & City College Birmingham was formed through a merger between South Birmingham College and City College Birmingham, with South Birmingham College officially changing its name to South & City College Birmingham on Wednesday 1 August 2012. The merger was prompted by financial challenges being faced by City College Birmingham.[1] On Wednesday 2 August 2017, South & City College Birmingham merged again with Bournville College.[2]
Previously, the college had campuses in multiple areas but some have since closed, including Balsall Heath Women's Centre, Ladywood Campus, Tyseley Campus and the original location of the Fusion Centre.
The college has eight campuses,[2] and accepts students aged 14 and above. Every academic year, South & City College Birmingham provides education and training to over 25,000 students.[2]
