As campus prepares for the winter months, we are delighted to invite our Family Community members to various events, at the University and in Birmingham.
We look forward to keeping you up to date with news from the University (keep an eye out in the next few weeks for this year's Birmingham Magazine) and will invite you to events, throughout the time of your son or daughter's degree, to meet fellow parents, guardians and family members, as well as many of our alumni.
