Only the finest ingredients...

As one of the UK's foremost training grounds for the chefs, hoteliers and restaurateurs of the future, University College Birmingham expect to work with the best. Their alumni rub shoulders with many of the highest profile chefs and the college itself is no stranger to accolades with regular quality awards, Beacon status, high attainment in Ofsted reports… and a superb restaurant! The college actually covers a much wider range of courses, including leisure, tourism, sports and hair & beauty, with strong links to industry and commerce. Of the 8,300 students at the University College over 1000 students come from abroad to study there every year.
So we at Genetics Limited were especially delighted that they chose the Contensis Content Management System to run their website. With a new website due in 2008, the college were keen to find a system that they could learn quickly, one which conformed to industry standards, especially .NET, and that would deliver a genuine reduction in build times. By taking on the task of creating their new website themselves, the overall project cost has also been kept to a minimum.
University College Birmingham's IT Director, Amin Pradhan, said "After much research into different types of content management systems we chose Contensis because we feel that it will cope with the needs of our website build and be totally user friendly. It will also help us move forward quicker with the development of our new look website".
Until recently UCB was known as Birmingham College of Food, Tourism and Creative Studies. Following an extensive review by the QAA, it has been awarded the ability to grant its own degrees, and has adopted a new name to reflect the change. We'll be checking our post for an invitation to the launch party!
