The University of Birmingham is located on a 250 acre campus across two sites and is considered to be one of the 10 most beautiful universities in Britain. The main Edgbaston campus is close to the city centre and even has its own railway station. Selly Oak is two miles away and is set in a spacious leafy 80 acre site. Both sites combine carefully designed learning and social spaces in a perfect blend of the traditional and modern, complete with shops, libraries, museums, performance areas and even a regular farmers market. . The university itself is made up of five colleges, all with cutting edge, world class facilities. There are regular events and entertainment on campus, many held in the Bramall Music building and performance area. Sport is an important part of University life in Birmingham and students can take advantage of the brand new University of Birmingham Sport and fitness club which will be located at the Edgbaston campus. Facilities will include a 50m swimming pool, multi sports arena, activity studios and fitness suite.
