Is Birmingham a campus or a city university?

The University of Birmingham is a traditional campus university. Its stunning Edgbaston campus houses all teaching blocks, main libraries, student accommodations, and beautiful green spaces in one massive red-brick location. The best part? It has its own dedicated train station (University Station), which can whip you into Birmingham City Centre in less than 8 minutes. You truly get the best of both worlds: a tight-knit campus community and quick city access, as highlighted in our Birmingham Student Life Review.
