UNIVERSITY COLLEGE BIRMINGHAM @UCBofficial

CULINARY CHAMPS Teams from our celebrated College of Food and Hospitality Management have won the prestigious Nestle Toque d’Or Professional culinary contest a record five times. Our most recent winners in 2019 not only gained invaluable experience and an outstanding accolade, but were also rewarded with a gastronomic tour of Spain. Theirs is not the only success story – our young team of food scientists saw off the competition to win the first ever IFST University Food Challenge and we had dozens of medallists at the ABST baking competition, as well as awards at the International Young Chef Olympiad and UK Seafood Young Chef of the Year.

MAKE-UP MARVELS You might have seen super-talented and multi-award winning Specialist Hair and Media Make-up student Stephanie Harrison appear as a contestant in BBC talent show Glow Up: Britain’s Next Make-Up Star, fronted by Stacey Dooley MBE. Stephanie has won an impressive haul of awards in the past few years: the Warpaint Make-up Championships at Professional Beauty London, and in her first prosthetics competition at the National Make-Up Awards, she walked away with second and third prize for her WW2 Dunkirk soldier and Marvel character Groot. She’s far from alone either. We have a host of stars who have scooped a string of honours, from wins at the National Make-Up Awards to the AHT hair and make-up competition.
