Located in the West Midlands of England, Birmingham is one of the UK’s largest and most multicultural cities.
Birmingham emerged from the Industrial Revolution as the ‘city of a thousand trades’ and although its industrial importance has declined since those days, it is still very much a national centre of commerce.
Birmingham is a city which has plenty to cater for its varied population. It is home to one of Britain’s premier shopping and leisure venues, the Bullring, boasts one of the liveliest nightlife scenes in the country, and has an astounding selection of bars, pubs and restaurants to boot.
In addition to its prowess as an established centre of commerce and entertainment, Birmingham also features in the world of academia – it has not one, but four reputable and popular universities that attract thousands of students each year.
