The Univerity of Birmingham

The University was founded in 1900 by the citizens of Birmingham who wanted their own University to train and educate the people who would create and manage the burgeoning businesses and industries of the Midlands. It was natural, given the nature of Birmingham’s industry, that the University should, from the start, teach the major scientific and engineering disciplines. It was also the first UK University to establish a Faculty of Commerce and incorporate a medical school. The modern University is equally distinguished in the humanities, education, social sciences and law. Well established as a world-class University, Birmingham is one of the leading group of ten research-based Universities in the United Kingdom. Teaching and Research is undertaken in all the major disciplines, attracting students of high ability. The University has academic staff of distinction, many recognised as international leaders in their fields. In the 2001 UK Research Assessment Exercise, the University of Birmingham was the fifth most successful university in the UK for research excellence. Forty-five research areas were rated at the highest levels indicating research of national and international excellence. There are approximately 21,900 full time students in the University, including 6682 postgraduate students. The number of University staff is close to 6000.
