FUN FACTS:


- At almost 100m, the University's clock tower, affectionately known as 'Old Joe', is the tallest freestanding clock tower in the world.

- Research at Birmingham is leading the world in Music, Psychology, Physics and Sport and Exercise Science. Also, Birmingham archaeologists discovered another major ceremonial monument (henge) less than 1km away from the iconic Stonehenge.

- Birmingham is the UK's second city. The Bullring, with 160+ shops, is the most visited shopping centre outside London.

- For those who love "daycations", Ironbridge Gorge (UNESCO world heritage site), the picturesque Cotswolds villages or a steam train ride on Severn Valley Railway are excellent options!
