With more than 24,000 students from 80 countries around the world, Birmingham City University is one of the most diverse universities to study in the UK. A quick glance into the history of BCU reveals that five different colleges were brought together to form The City of Birmingham Polytechnic in 1971. In 2007, the university’s name was changed to its present name – Birmingham City University – and a new logo was designed for it, which was a rework of the tiger crest once used by the University of Central England in Birmingham.

Courses

The university offers a range of courses (undergraduate, postgraduate, research, foundation, short-term and part-time), with a large number of part-time students enrolled in the campus and many students choosing to pursue distance learning courses. In recent years, the university has diversified its portfolio of high-tech degrees, with a focus on courses such as network engineering, e-commerce, and electronic systems. BCU welcomes international and domestic students from across the globe and offers various scholarships and bursaries to them.
