The Midland Met Learning Campus
With an aim to create an inclusive learning environment, The Midland Met Learning Campus will establish a university presence in Smethwick, providing a new education and skills hub for the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital that covers training from entry-level to L7 skills.
Focusing on hard-to-reach groups such as those who are homeless, out of work, or refugees with transferable skills, the educational hub will help to diversify and upskill the workforce, creating a positive channel to employment in the NHS and beyond.

Aligned with our priorities to work closely with local communities, key education providers, Sandwell MBC and the West Midlands Combined Authority, SWBH is working to create an equal and inclusive environment providing opportunities for all students, parents, staff, communities and visitors.
