OUR VALUES AND BEHAVIOURS
The major challenges facing our city, nation, and the world cannot be solved if we act alone. We enhance our research and education by pursuing creative partnerships within and beyond the University.
We operate with transparency, trust, and respect. We value our role as an anchor institution for Birmingham. We strive to be an excellent employer, to reduce inequalities in access to education, and to place sustainability at the heart of our work.
We are confident in the University of Birmingham and project this globally. We are focused on our goals, are clear about our strengths, and pursue our own direction. We are bold and take intelligent risks.
We welcome colleagues, collaborators, and students from across the world to work and study with us. We are committed to academic freedom, freedom of speech, and equality of opportunity for all. We expect everyone to act with sensitivity, respect, and fairness.
We enjoy being the first to do things. Inspired by our Birmingham heritage, we are resourceful, creative, grounded, and practical, and seek to make a real and positive difference to the world around us.
The University’s campus spans over 250 acres, nestled in leafy green Edgbaston, just three miles from Birmingham city centre. The University is the largest Higher Education institution in Birmingham with 23,000 undergraduates, 12,500 postgraduates and 8,000 staff. Our heritage as the original ‘redbrick’ University is combined with one of the most compelling and ambitious agendas in Higher Education. Quite simply, at Birmingham we make things happen. Campus Services (CS) employs over 900 staff with a turnover exceeding £50m in the last financial year. CS plays a key role in the quality of the student, staff and visitor experience, operating diverse services such as the University’s sporting facilities, food and beverage, cleaning and portering, conferencing and hotel operations, day nurseries, branded and own-brand retail outlets, student housing, and visitor services and attractions (e.g., Winterbourne House & Gardens).
