The campus has a small railway station adjacent to it, connecting to the city centre and to towns south of Birmingham. The city is well placed for access to all parts of the UK, and is two hours by rail from London. It has an international airport.

The city boasts excellent programmes of classical music, ballet and theatre. Also, Stratford-upon-Avon with its world-renowned theatrical productions is only a 40-minute drive from the campus. The University also offers high-quality artistic, theatrical and musical venues.
