University of Birmingham
For more than a century, the University of Birmingham has been pursuing and sharing knowledge through outstanding teaching and world-leading research. They are the original ‘redbrick’ University, part of the prestigious Russell Group; their thriving student population enjoys a wide range of courses, and exceptional campus and research facilities. They were England’s first civic university, a place where students from all backgrounds were accepted on an equal basis.
More than 100 years on, the Birmingham campus has grown to 672 acres, and they also now have a campus in Dubai. The beautiful, green campus is a short train ride or a 30-minute canal walk from Birmingham city centre. There are a wide range of historic and modern spaces for our students, staff and visitors to enjoy, as well as museums and galleries.
