Partner with the University for meaningful impact

Align your business goals with lasting social impact by partnering with the University of Birmingham – England’s first civic university, founded to serve students from all backgrounds.

Today, we remain committed to advancing knowledge and supporting communities both locally and globally.

  • More than 40,000 students attending every year
  • 92% of research rated world-leading
  • 10 Nobel Laureates
  • More than 400,000 alumni worldwide

Join leading brands like HSBC, Santander, Goldman Sachs, and Google DeepMind in supporting our mission. Together, we’re delivering life-changing opportunities and transformative research while strengthening regional and global communities.

In return, you’ll gain exclusive access to events, networking with leading academics, and the chance to engage directly with the next generation of talent.

Here are just some of the ways your organisation can make an impact with the University of Birmingham:

  • 1. Creating brighter futures for young people

    Support scholarships and give young people the future they deserve

    Pathways to Birmingham (P2B) opens doors for students from underrepresented backgrounds, helping them access higher education and career opportunities. Despite making up 25% of the population, only one in six students from deprived areas attend university. P2B offers tailored support, contextual admissions, and scholarships to level the playing field.

    Support scholarships

  • 2. Addressing inequality and supporting vulnerable communities

    Back Sanctuary Scholarships and help students displaced by conflict to access an UK education

    CHASM (Centre on Household Assets and Savings Management) researches the root causes of financial insecurity to influence better policy and promote financial wellbeing. Sanctuary Scholarships enable students displaced by conflict to access education in the UK. So far, we’ve supported refugees from Syria, Ukraine, Iraq, Yemen, and Eswatini.

    Help educate those most in need

  • 3. Partnering on global health solutions

    Fund life-saving research with global impact

    From cancer to COVID-19, our research addresses today’s biggest health challenges. Your support can help us: • Expand cancer research across different forms and treatments • Combat antibiotic resistance with early-detection tools • Innovate surgical practices, especially in low-resource countries

    Fund globally-impacting research

  • 4. Driving innovation for a sustainable future

    Partner with us to create scalable solutions for people and the planet

    We’re tackling critical global issues – from climate change to plastic waste – with world-leading research: • Clean air and climate: The Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR)’s 'forest lab' simulates future environments to understand climate impact • Sustainable energy: The National Centre for the Decarbonisation of Heat (NCDH) is pioneering clean heat technologies to meet net-zero goals • Food security: Our scientists are developing resilient crops and food systems • Plastic alternatives: The Birmingham Plastics Network is creating sustainable, circular solutions for plastic use
