Originally established as the first civic university in the United Kingdom, or the "redbrick," we have grown into a preeminent worldwide organisation with offices abroad, a campus in Birmingham, and the first of the top 100 British universities to open a campus in Dubai.The rich heritage of our UK school is reflected in our new, state-of-the-art Dubai campus, which is situated in the centre of Academic City. It aesthetically blends all of the legacy, customs, and beauty of Arabic culture and architecture with the history and grandeur of our Edgbaston campus. In addition to housing up to 3,000 students, it serves as a gathering spot for Birmingham graduates in the area and a centre for local corporate engagement.
