Community Engagement
The University of Birmingham values its relationship with local residents and always endeavours to be a good neighbour. Our Communications & Engagement team manages how the university engages with our local communities and is happy to respond to queries and concerns. We also have a mailing list to keep our neighbours updated about the university's events and activities.
