伯明翰城市大学（BCU）成立于1843年，最初是伯明翰艺术学院
1971年成为理工大学，1992年获得大学地位。它是该市历史悠久的大学之一，也是五所大学中第二大的。2007年，它更名为伯明翰城市大学，这反映了该大学对这座城市的自豪感和承诺
BCU有三个主校区，服务于四个学院，提供艺术与设计、商业、建筑环境、计算机、教育、工程、英语、医疗保健、法律、社会科学、技术和表演艺术等课程
它的许多学者与他们的行业保持着密切的联系，通常仍在行业内运作，例如英国著名的犯罪学家和英国皇家建筑师学会的首位女性主席
它的优势在于创意和表演艺术——伯明翰政府设计学院是伦敦以外的第一所设计学院（1843年开业），伯明翰音乐学院，后来的伯明翰音乐学院（1886年开业）。这两所大学都被并入了该大学，在英国高等教育领域仍有着强大的地位
有25000名本科生和研究生，其中一半来自西米德兰兹郡，大多数来自少数民族。这是欧洲第一所开设黑人研究本科生学位的大学，旨在研究非洲人后裔的历史、社会运动和贡献
著名校友包括歌手Laura Mvula、喜剧演员Frank Skinner、作家Jim Crace和莫里森超市董事长Andrew Higginson
Birmingham City University (BCU) was established initially as Birmingham College of Art with roots back to 1843.
It was made a polytechnic university in 1971 and gained university status in 1992. It is one of the city’s long-standing universities and the second largest of the five. It was renamed as Birmingham City University in 2007, as a reflection of the university’s pride and commitment to the city.
BCU has three main campuses serving four faculties, which offer courses in art and design, business, the built environment, computing, education, engineering, English, health care, law, social sciences, technology and the performing arts.
Many of its academics maintain strong links with their industries, often still operating within them, for example the UK’s leading criminologist and the first female president of the Royal Institute of British Architects.
Its strengths are in the creative and performing arts - the Birmingham Government School of Design was the first college of design outside London (opened in 1843) and the Birmingham School of Music, later the Birmingham Conservatoire (opened in 1886). Both were incorporated into the university and still have a strong standing in the UK’s higher education landscape.
There are 25,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students, half of whom are from the West Midlands, the majority of whom are from ethnic minorities. It was the first university in Europe to launch a Black Studies undergraduate degree, to examine the history, social movements and contribution of people of African descent.
Notable alumni include singer Laura Mvula, comedian Frank Skinner, author Jim Crace and chairman of Morrisons supermarkets Andrew Higginson.
