About BCU
Birmingham City University comprises two main campuses, with additional sites located throughout the city. We've invested over £500 million in our campus and facilities. From state-of-the-art TV studios to simulated operating theatres and hospital wards, we're making sure that students have the best possible space to learn.
The City Centre campus is at the heart of Birmingham’s fast-developing Eastside district, and just a short walk from the city centre, is where most students on courses including Music, Design, Media, Engineering, Computing, Digital Technology, Built Environment, Education, Law, Social Sciences, Business and English are based. The campus also features library, IT and student support facilities, providing a modern, dynamic space with state-of-the-art resources.
Students on health and life sciences courses are based on our state-of-the art campus in the leafy suburb of Edgbaston, within easy reach of the city centre. Our facilities replicate the real world of health and life sciences, including an operating theatre, hospital wards and a fully equipped midwifery skills/birthing room, as well as life sciences laboratories.
In addition to our two main campuses, our art and jewellery students benefit from studying at specialist locations in the city – Birmingham School of Art in Margaret Street and the School of Jewellery in Vittoria Street, St Paul’s Square and a dedicated area within Birmingham’s Assay Office.
Alexander Stadium, the iconic venue that hosted the 2022 Commonwealth Games is now the home of our Sport and Exercise courses. As well as specialist sports facilities and laboratories, this venue provides an opportunity or students to learn alongside elite sports organisations such as Birchfield Harriers.
