Open Days - See for yourself
There's so much going on in Birmingham – from the buzzy street markets to the unmissable transformation of the whole city and our campus. Study here and you'll be at the heart of it all. You too could be taught by our trailblazing academics and study in our innovative £400m facilities. When possible, the best way to explore what's on offer is to come and see us in person.
