Global Alumni Gathering 2025: our 125th anniversary celebrations
Our alumni community had an amazing time coming together for this year's Global Alumni Gatherings. Over 1,000 alumni and guests joined celebrations in more than 50 locations around the world to reconnect, reflect and celebrate not only our shared experiences but also the legacy of the 125th Anniversary of the University of Birmingham.
