University College Birmingham join as Event Sponsor for BDF 2026

University College Birmingham (UCB) is delighted to be supporting Birmingham Design Festival 2026 as an Event Sponsor.

As a university rooted in the heart of Birmingham, we’ve always believed that great design is about more than aesthetics; it’s about craft, curiosity, and connection to the real world. That’s a philosophy that runs through everything we do, and it’s exactly what Birmingham Design Festival champions. We’re proud to be part of it.

At UCB, we’re passionate about education that goes beyond the classroom. Our graphic design course is built around industry partnerships and hands-on practice, giving students the skills, confidence and creative networks they need to hit the ground running in the professional world. We’re proud to be training the next generation of designers right here in Birmingham.

Supporting BDF means investing in the city’s creative future and celebrating the design talent that puts Birmingham firmly on the map. We can’t wait to connect with fellow creatives, open opportunities for our students, and be part of everything that makes BDF so special. See you at the festival!
