Birmingham City University

Studying at Birmingham City University places you right in the heart of a forward-looking and vibrant city full of world-class restaurants, entertainment, and shops. Birmingham is the youngest major city in Europe, with under-20s accounting for 28% of its population (ONS 2020).

With world-class art, unique drama, musical flair, diverse dance and performing arts, Birmingham is a great place to soak up culture. Our street food festivals are award-winning and four of our restaurants are Michelin starred – the most out of any UK city outside of London.

Birmingham is a shoppers’ paradise. The famous Bullring is packed with modern, glossy, big brand shops, and for Sports fans, there are three leading football clubs, a world-famous cricket ground, and Commonwealth Games sporting venues to enjoy.

Whether you’re moving to Birmingham or you’re a Brummie at heart, there’s so much student life here to explore.
