Birmingham is beautiful
Beyond the noise and movement, there’s a distinctive beauty to Birmingham.
With thousands of parks and green spaces, miles of canals, and continual investment in the city centre, Birmingham is one of the greenest cities in the UK and is a place that’s built for everyday life.

We know that, like any major city, Birmingham can feel busy. But that’s because it’s always moving and continually improving. Step beyond New Street station and Grand Central, and you’ll find open public spaces, waterside paths, walkable city routes, and clean, modern developments built alongside the city’s historic architecture.
From taking breaks in parks to meeting friends for a walk by the canal, Birmingham is a city that takes pride in the spaces that people share every day. Cycle paths directly connect campus to the city, and the centre of Birmingham is just seven minutes away from the University’s own train station.
