The University
The University of Birmingham, set in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom, is a public research university with a great reputation for academic excellence.
Studying at this amazing University while living at our University of Birmingham accommodation is surely one of the soundest decisions you can make for your future. Here’s just a few reasons why:
The University of Birmingham forms part of the prestigious Russell Group, which measures university performance based on academic achievement and reputation for excellence.
As well as that, The University of Birmingham is a founding member of Universitas 21, a global network of 27 research-led universities across 17 countries.
This prestigious academic institution was founded way back in 1900, and was so cutting edge at the time that it quickly became the prototype and representative of a new model for Higher Education.
The University, which is located close to our uni accommodation, was pioneering as England’s first civic university. Not only that, but it was the original redbrick university to receive its own royal charter.
Nowadays The University of Birmingham continues to trailblaze and innovate in the educational field. It continues to be a leading international academic institution, gaining momentum both locally and internationally.

It’s not only international students that are attracted to this world-class learning experience. The University of Birmingham serves as a teaching platform for internationally-renowned academic experts in various fields.
An astonishing 34% of teaching staff at this diverse university are overseas nationals, hailing from a number of different countries. This fact only serves to foster a healthy, open-minded learning environment, mixing cultures in a colourful international tapestry. The blend of national and international students and teaching staff helps to imbibe students with a wider perspective which in turn influences their work and research, another reason why The University of Birmingham is leading the way in so many senses.
The University of Birmingham is not only cosmopolitan, but is also firmly dedicated to expansion.
The University opened a campus in Dubai in 2018, becoming the first university in the global top 100 and member of the Russell Group University to establish a campus there.
