About South & City College

South and City College Birmingham is a vocational college which offers students part time, full time and Apprenticeship courses from level 1 to higher education in a range of subjects.

We are committed to ensuring students have the relevant skills, qualifications, and experience required for their future, whether that is to seek employment or continue their education at college or university.

We have exceptional facilities which we continue to invest in, including a purpose, built construction centre, hair and beauty salons which are open to the public, a fine dining restaurant run by students, music and sound recording rooms, an industry standard auditorium and much more.

The college is actively involved in the community, with local businesses and has excellent links with industry; this not only allows us to provide excellent opportunities for our students to gain work experience placements, Apprenticeships and job opportunities but for the college to help employers ensure they have the skilled workforce needed for the future.
