Birmingham City University is one of the UK's most dynamic places to study.  We are a vibrant, multicultural university with over 31,000 students from around 120 countries and offer an innovative and practical approach to teaching and learning.

Our portfolio of excellent courses, investment in state-of-the-art facilities, first-rate staff, and focus on practical skills and professional relevance make us a first choice for students. Our courses are highly practical and career-focused, and professional bodies accredit many. This means that you'll gain qualifications with us that are prized by employers, giving you an essential advantage in the job market.

We've invested heavily in innovative technology to give our students the best possible preparation for their chosen careers.  Facilities include a mock law court, a virtual radiography suite, broadcast studios, fashion workshops and a mock operating theatre.

Our research is also attracting international attention. In the prestigious Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021, 93% of our research was recognised internationally for originality, significance and rigour, of which 19% was judged world-leading.

It's a particularly exciting time to be a student at Birmingham City University. We've invested over £500 million in our estate, including a significant expansion of our City Centre Campus at Eastside, which provides students with an enviable range of facilities.
