Birmingham is an internationally powerful, research-led, university. As well as our commitment to providing excellent teaching, our academic staff are engaged in a wide range of research projects that have created a major positive impact across the globe.

At Birmingham we have a tradition of innovation. Our early research had a lasting impact on lives, culture, industry and society; and our current research aspires to do the same. From world-class research into cancer and global infection to the development of a new generation of fuels, our academic expertise continues to address key challenges.

At Birmingham, learning is a conversation, not simply a lecture.

To enable you to better develop your own ideas and opinions, we will put you at the centre of the learning process. From the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner. Many of your lecturers at Birmingham will be global experts in their fields and their excitement and passion will translate into your degree programme.
