Selly Oak campus

The Selly Oak campus is less than ten minutes from Birmingham city centre and only five minutes away by car from the Edgbaston campus, on an 80-acre garden site near the village of Bournville.

Birmingham is at the heart of the UK’s road and rail network, and is easily accessible from other parts of the country and beyond. The University’s main campus at Edgbaston, with its magnificent architecture, is a major landmark in Birmingham.

The University’s principal campuses are to the south west of Birmingham, in Edgbaston and Selly Oak.

The Barber Institute of Fine Arts (R14) has a collection that

provides a stunning overview of western European art since the

13th century with work by artists including Botticelli, Degas, Van

Dyck, Monet, Manet, Turner and Van Gogh. The Institute also hosts

a wealth of musical events in its concert hall, with regular visits from

world-class performers, and occasional festivals. The building is now

Grade 1 listed and is the purest example of art deco style in the city.

Admission is free. Open: Monday–Friday 10.00am–5.00pm;

Saturday and Sunday 11.00am–5.00pm.

feature of the campus skyline and a major city landmark. Dedicated

to Joseph Chamberlain, the University’s first Chancellor, it is known

as ‘Old Joe’ and stands 100 metres high. Its design is based on

the Mangia Tower in Siena and the largest bell weighs 6.5 tonnes.
