and find long-term solutions to end fuel poverty.

Our expertise extends beyond the classroom

and the lab. Our vibrant campus is a centre

for culture and creativity. We are home to the

Lapworth Museum of Geology and the Barber

Anna’s campus

highlights

1. Main Library

The Main Library is a firm favourite campus

location for me. It is open 24/7 so it is ideal for

weekend or late-night studying. There are

silent, quiet and group study areas, so there

is always a space that suits my preferences.

2. Green Heart

The Green Heart is a lovely green, open area

in the centre of campus. It provides a nice

place to sit and have study breaks, or hang

out with friends in the summer when it is

warmer outside.

3. Sport & Fitness

I often spend a lot of my time at the Sport

& Fitness Centre. I personally love the gym

classes, which are included in my membership.

There’s also a 50-metre swimming pool and a

sauna and steam room, which is a great way

to unwind after a busy day on campus. I also

joined the Korfball team and have made so

many friends!

4. University Centre

The University Centre offers everything I need

on campus, making it one of my top five favourite

places. Along with a post office, hairdresser and

opticians, there are also multiple food outlets.

5. Guild of Students

Finally, the Guild of Students is a great place on

campus, providing a variety of opportunities and

events. There are over 350 societies on offer

at the Guild, which provides really good social

opportunities for students.

Honourable mention: Accommodation

I couldn’t talk about my favourite places on

campus without giving an honourable mention

to my first year accommodation: Tennis Court.

I loved my year of living here and made some

amazing memories and friends.

09:00 — Lecture one

My first lecture of the day lasts around

50 minutes and focuses on pure

mathematics topics. Guided studies

build on this by working through practical

examples and problem-solving exercises.

10:00 — Supervisor meeting

I meet with my supervisor to discuss

my research project, which is based

around mathematical attainment in

in their fields, so we really are learning

from the best.

13:00 — Study time

I spend some time studying

independently and complete any

assignments given to me. I usually find

a quiet study space, of which there are

lots across campus, where I work for a

few hours.

Birmingham is based in the heart of

England, benefiting from both a major

cosmopolitan city and the beautiful

countryside just a stone’s throw away.

train station on campus (aptly named

‘University station’), which will take you

into the heart of Birmingham (New Street)

in seven minutes. From here you can

reach all corners of the UK easily.

Surrounded by a network of motorways,

an international airport just 10 minutes

by train from the city centre, and a

comprehensive bus network, travelling

around Birmingham and the UK couldn’t

be easier.
