Rooted in Birmingham, Reaching Beyond
Universities shape lives. For nearly two centuries, Birmingham City University has transformed thousands of lives. We have redefined a city, influenced a region, and impacted beyond our borders.
Birmingham is a fantastic place to live, work, and study. Our city boasts one of the youngest populations in Europe. It has established itself as a plural city where no single ethnic group holds a majority, making it, along with the wider West Midlands, one of the most diverse regions in the country. Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK, featuring excellent transport links to the rest of the UK and internationally with numerous direct flights from Birmingham Airport.
BCU is a modern and vibrant international university, home to staff, students, and alumni from over 100 countries. BCU's mission is to generate and share knowledge for a more inclusive society. Greater internationalisation can inspire, engage, and promote accessible and inclusive teaching to transform lives. Our position at the heart of the city and region and our global connections are fundamental to our work. Discovering, sharing, and applying new knowledge to benefit our students, region, and the world will remain central to our mission as an anchor institution.
We are always eager to develop partnerships with other institutions. To discuss this further, please get in touch with the International Partnerships team at international.partnerships@bcu.ac.uk
