University of Birmingham

Profile

From 1900 to the present day, we’ve been leading the way in research and education, making ground-breaking progress in areas that span industries such as gene structure, medicine, space research and communications.

We were the first university to:
Accept students from all religions and backgrounds on a completely equal basis
Build on a campus model
Incorporate a medical school
Create a purpose built students’ union

Each year, over 4,000 students from 150 countries study at the University of Birmingham, enhancing our reputation as a truly international university, and adding to our diverse range of cultures, views and opinions.
Provide a sporting option for all students in the interests of promoting health and well-being
Birmingham ranks 5th in the UK for research excellence; in the most recent Research Assessment Exercise in 2001, seven areas of Birmingham’s research achieved the six star rating – a rating only given to studies of significant international importance.
Excellent sporting facilities, a busy calendar of social events and a global reputation for teaching makes Birmingham a great place to study – and we’re proud of the calibre of our academic community.

The leafy 250 acre, self-contained Edgbaston campus has all the facilities of a busy town: bars, cafes, shops, a hair salon, concert hall, bank, art gallery, doctor’s surgery, museums and its own railway station- all of the facilities you need to support your learning, social life, sporting and other interests at the University.
Birmingham has some of the best sports facilities in the country and a reputation for sporting excellence reflected in its consistent top three ranking in British inter-varsity sport.

Some of the organisations around the University were once used exclusively by academics, but now attract visitors from all over the world. With an impressive sculpture trail on campus, our own art gallery and botanical gardens, and important historical collections in our schools and departments, there’s a lot to see and do at Birmingham.
