The University of Birmingham was founded in 1900 on the radical vision of its first Chancellor, politician and statesman Joseph Chamberlain.
It is England’s first civic or ‘redbrick’ university, with students being accepted on an equal basis regardless of their background or religion.
When it was founded, the University of Birmingham represented a new model for higher education being the first in England to be built on a campus model, to incorporate a medical school and to offer dentistry degrees.
The university was established by Queen Victoria by Royal Charter and was a founding member of the National Union of Students. The first phase of the campus was completed in 1909 with the help and support of esteemed architect Sir Aston Webb.
The Barber Institute of Fine Arts opened its doors in 1939. The first MSc programme in Geotechnical Engineering commenced under the title of “Foundation Engineering” in 1956. That same year the UK’s longest-running MSc programme in Physics and Technology of Nuclear Reactors also started at the university.
Living in private, off-campus accommodation will provide you with a modern, well-secured private property with great amenities. Lots of modern purpose-built student accommodations offer things like games rooms, in-house gyms and other facilities for their inhabitants to use and enjoy.
Another great thing about private accommodation is that you can freely choose your accommodation type. Whether you prefer to share with a flat with a friend of yours, or stay in a studio apartment just by yourself, you can find the perfect option for you on Student.com.

Usually, there are no other charges than the rent, because in most properties in Birmingham that we list, all bills are included. However, check this on the property page of the property you’re interested in, as different landlords can have different policies on bills.
This also depends on the property you choose, but most of our properties in Birmingham are fully furnished.
