BIRMINGHAM City University is a large, diverse, historic provider of higher and further education for the people of Birmingham and beyond.

From our seven faculties and seven campuses, we at the University deliver over 300 courses to more than 23,000 students. Our catchment area extends from inner Birmingham to the Far East and the United States. Local, regional, national and international partners play a key role in much of our work. In pursuing our historic aim of providing an inclusive education for employable graduates, we work with organisations in the private and public sectors to ensure the highest possible standards of delivery.

Our roots go back to 1843 with the founding of the Polytechnic Institute and the Birmingham School of Design. Over the next hundred years Schools of Jewellery, Music, Commerce, Art, Education, Architecture, Physical Education and Technology sprang up and were re-established in and around the city. In 1971 those Schools joined to form the new City of Birmingham Polytechnic, which in 1989 was established as an independent corporation with exempt charitable status. University status was conferred in 1992, and as the new University of Central England we continued to develop. In 1995 we acquired a new Faculty of Health and Community Care, and as recently as 2001 moved into state-of-the-art premises at Millennium Point.

Since becoming a university in 1966, Brunel has had much to celebrate. Our rise during the last 40 years has been impressive and our reputation grows year on year. Now a university of nearly 14,000 students - 3,000 engaged in postgraduate and research study - our special mission to combine academic rigour with the practical, entrepreneurial and imaginative approach pioneered by our namesake I K Brunel is proving as successful as ever.

Campus Old and New The University's investment in campus building and infrastructure has now reached £250 million with the development programme in residential, teaching,research and sports facilities due for completion by mid-2007. In 2004, we opened the new £2.5 million UEFA-class football facilities. Two months later, we celebrated the opening of the new international, competition-standard athletics track.

In 2005, we saw the opening of:

• The distinctive Bannerman Centre, housing the main library and a brand new Assistive Technology Centre, with facilities for students with disabilities ranging from visual mobility and hearing impairments to specific learning difficulties like dyslexia;
  
  
• The new indoor athletics centre which included indoor sprint track and jump facilities, and a new sports hall with weights training area and sports science support;
  
  
• Refurbishment of the original sports centre with extensive new changing rooms, bistro and reception;
  
  
• Brand-new teaching facilities for Education and Design;
  
  
• A new hall of residence;
  
  
• Refurbished Biomedical Sciences labs;
  
  
• Completion of the refectory complex with a stunning atrium entrance into dining halls, bars, Students' Union and retail outlets.

2006 has seen still further developments, including several new halls of residence and an outstanding new building to house the School of Health Sciences and Social Care, which was opened by her Majesty the Queen. with the occupation of this building, Brunel celebrates the unification of the entire University on one campus for the first time in 25 years.
