About Birmingham City University

At Birmingham City University, we are a diverse and inclusive learning community of over 31,400 students from more than 120 countries. We aim to become an exemplar anchor institution, creating and sharing knowledge for a better and more inclusive society. We are committed to providing a transformational educational experience, supporting world-class research, and fostering a collaborative and supportive working environment for our staff.

Recognised as one of the UK’s Top 250 employers (Financial Times & Statista), we pride ourselves on being a place where colleagues feel valued, supported, and able to grow their careers while contributing to the success of our students and communities.

Our student demographic reflects the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of Birmingham itself, with a significant proportion of students from minoritised ethnic backgrounds and the majority of our home students coming from the West Midlands. This diversity is a strength, and it calls for a workforce that is equipped to challenge deficit narratives and thinking - those assumptions that position students from underrepresented groups as lacking rather than recognising their assets, strengths and potential.

By embracing this perspective, we aim to create an environment where all students and colleagues can thrive, and where our work contributes positively to the social, cultural and economic life of Birmingham and beyond.

About the School

The Birmingham School of Architecture, Building, Computing and Engineering is an ambitious and evolving academic community bringing together disciplines that shape the environments, technologies and infrastructures in which people live and work.

Within the School, our Department of Architecture and Built Environment is a thriving learning community committed to high-quality teaching, research and industrial engagement. Following sustained growth in student numbers and research activity, the Department is embarking on a significant programme of expansion and long-term investment.

We believe the built environment is never neutral. The infrastructure we design, construct and maintain shapes how people live, move and connect, influencing resilience, sustainability, opportunity and wellbeing. We therefore see civil engineering not simply as a technical discipline, but as a profession with social, environmental and ethical responsibilities.
