Student life
Your time at university is more than lectures and coursework. It's also about the friendships you form and the activities you get involved in. It's about feeling supported, knowing that you always have someone to speak to and help guide you during your studies.
We are a small, inclusive university, with a close-knit, diverse community, and whether you are moving away for the first time, relocating to a new city, or leaving behind the familiar comforts of your friends and family, we want to make you feel at home.
More than 800 students can be accommodated in our halls of residence, and in your first year, you are guaranteed a place in The Maltings, with easy access to supermarkets, banks and budget restaurants. Meanwhile, over 70% of our undergraduates live at home while they study.
If you want to get to know other students before you start, you can join our Unibuddy Community and make new friends. As soon as you've been made an offer, you will receive an invitation to start connecting.
Campus and facilities
With £200 million invested in our seven, sustainable campuses, our practical facilities are all developed with real industry in mind. From our training restaurants and aesthetics clinic to our cutting-edge sports facilities, financial trading suite and engineering and construction facilties, we provide real-life working environments to give you the advantage when you finish your studies.
We have also invested £6.1 million into fresh-thinking learning support spaces, giving you the very best environment to expand your mind.
Whichever campus buildings you are studying in, you'll be in the heart of a city with outstanding business connections, incredible restaurants, clubs and bars and entertainment venues, as well as 8,000 acres of parks and open spaces and over 100 miles of canals.
Less than an hour-and-a-half from London by train with major rail and bus stations just minutes from our campuses, Birmingham is a buzzing city where nearly 40% of the population is under the age of 25.
