At Mortha Halls of Ivy, we believe education should inspire confidence, foster connection, and create a true sense of belonging for students everywhere. To better serve our students across the world, we proudly operate as City College Birmingham outside the United Kingdom. This internationally recognised name allows students from around the globe to identify us as a credible, established academic institution, making it easier for them to share their educational journey with pride and certainty.
While our UK-based students know us as Mortha Halls of Ivy—a name built on trust and quality partnerships with Ofqual-regulated awarding bodies—we recognise that international students often look for familiar markers of academic credibility in the names they choose. With “City College Birmingham,” we speak directly to those aspirations, reflecting both our rich connection to Birmingham and our role as a dynamic centre for higher learning.
We selected the name City College Birmingham to provide international students with a name that feels accessible and directly conveys our purpose as an institution dedicated to academic excellence. It’s a name designed to resonate, symbolising both our commitment to delivering a world-class education and the pride we take in our heritage as part of the Birmingham academic community.
As part of our commitment to transparency, we registered City College Birmingham as both a trademark and a registered entity with Companies House. This ensures that City College Birmingham is exclusively part of Mortha Halls of Ivy, and we maintain it as a dormant company solely to clarify this relationship for students, parents, and partners conducting due diligence.
Whether you're learning about us through our UK identity, Mortha Halls of Ivy, or are discovering us as City College Birmingham, our mission remains the same: to provide a quality education that opens doors, builds futures, and inspires confidence in every student.
