BIRMINGHAM City University
is a large, diverse, historic provider of higher and further
education for the people of Birmingham and beyond.
From our seven
faculties and seven campuses, we at the University deliver
over 300 courses to more than 23,000 students. Our catchment
area extends from inner Birmingham to the Far East and the
United States. Local, regional, national and international
partners play a key role in much of our work. In pursuing
our historic aim of providing an inclusive education for
employable graduates, we work with organisations in the
private and public sectors to ensure the highest possible
standards of delivery.
Our roots go back to
1843 with the founding of the Polytechnic Institute and the
Birmingham School of Design. Over the next hundred years
Schools of Jewellery, Music, Commerce, Art, Education,
Architecture, Physical Education and Technology sprang up
and were re-established in and around the city. In 1971
those Schools joined to form the new City of Birmingham
Polytechnic, which in 1989 was established as an independent
corporation with exempt charitable status. University status
was conferred in 1992, and as the new University of Central
England we continued to develop. In 1995 we acquired a new
Faculty of Health and Community Care, and as recently as
2001 moved into state-of-the-art premises at Millennium
Point.
