University of Birmingham : Birmingham University
The University of Birmingham is a university in the English city of Birmingham. It was founded in 1900 as a successor to Mason Science College, and is thus one of the earliest of the "redbrick" universities. It currently has over 15,000 undergraduate and 7,000 postgraduate students.Its main campus, in the Edgbaston[?] area of Birmingham, is arranged around a 100m-high clock tower commemorating the university's first chancellor, Joseph Chamberlain. The Great Hall of the university is in the domed Aston Webb[?] Building, named after its architect.
The university's Selly Oak[?] campus is a short distance to the south of the main campus. It was the home of a federation of nine higher education colleges, mainly focussed on theology and education, which were integrated into the university for teaching purposes in 1999. Among these was Westhill College (later the University of Birmingham, Westhill) which merged with the university's School of Education in 2001.
Due to Birmingham's role as a centre of light engineering, the university traditionally had a special focus on science, engineering and commerce. It now teaches a full range of academic subjects.
It is a member of the Russell Group of Universities.
