I’ve just looked at the the drone tour. I graduated from here with a first in 1984, a PhD in 1988 and did my PGCE in 1989. After recently retiring after a 30 year teaching career it was great to see it . Great memories of living in the vale for my first year, and using the old library. What advances there have been in terms of facilities and infrastructure but it is very much the recognisable place I warily walked into for my interview in 1980, from a much smaller town, thinking that I had never seen anything so big. I struggled a bit to get used to living away from home, but it gets better, and looking back it was the making of me. I did work hard and perhaps didn’t use the social and sporting facilities as much as I should, looking back, but the place opened my mind to a bigger world and it’s possibilities. There is much in the press about social mobility, and this was mine, from a council estate and a family where no one had done O levels (GCSEs), and university was another world, but a great one. I have done many things since, but I feel it really started here. Take the plunge as I did and see what I mean.

I fell in love with this uni back in year 7, I'm now in year 12 and I'm working so hard to get the A*AA to study law here

Graduated in July 2014. I really miss this beautiful university....😢

I'm deciding whether to put Manchester or Birmingham as my firm offer, and you're doing a damn good job of convincing me to choose Birmingham.

@1:27 The old Queen Elizabeth Hospital - I studied medicine there in the mid 1970s

What a beautiful site, dedicated to the learning, growing and sharing of knowledge.

It’s so different from when I graduated in 1981- it was a great place then, and looks a great place now. Met some wonderful people and friends there. Per Ardua Ad Alta 👍

I got an offer! 👍

Its a wonderful university and i am proud to be a graduate from it. :-)

Really beautiful. Proud to be an alumnus

Graduated in 83. Will never forget the paternosters in the Muirhead tower.

One of the very few UK universities which have a proper campus (Nottingham is another example. Big, self-contained, clear boundary, wooded area... Birmingham has pettier buildings than Nottingham) in my opinion. Others are embedded within the cities (Oxbridge, London), disjointed sites, or too small and crammed with buildings that you don't get a sense of a university campus. Go to Oxford and you would sometimes meet a tourist asking where is the university.

some old buildings including the tower need some cleaning as because of the rain they drain dirt from its red bricks and other materials on the surface. Some people don't like my view and they say it's better to keep it this way because it's history, but cleaning and polishing some old walls in major buildings like the tower have nothing to do with the university history.

I live on the edge of the campus in Edgbaston ❤

really amazing......would definitely like to be a student here

This is where I did my training in Nursing and Steve his phd in NeuroScience. Me at Q of E .

The University has demolished the old library, which was one of nice-looking building, but kept intact the ugliest building in Britain, the Union Building in the entrance of the University. This is sad.

l would like to say to you all of you that the university Birmingham good look with your exams l hop you do will all of you
