This is supported by the universities – Aston University, the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University and University College Birmingham (formerly Birmingham College of Food, Tourism and Creative Studies) and Newman University College. There are also Matthew Boulton College and South Birmingham College.

All of these have an important role to play in improving skills and nurturing spin-off and start-up industries. Things need to get better though as higher education qualifications within the city centre are still well below government targets.
