Where to Find Magic on Campus

We like to think of campus as being quite a magical place.  Many areas of campus are likened to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, so we thought we’d take a closer look at the real-life magic happening right here in Birmingham!

1. Potter Soc

With a shared love of all things Harry Potter, the University’s Harry Potter Society celebrates the magic of the Wizarding World weekly - from Quidditch matches and Sorting to a Tri-Wizard tournament!

2. Friendships made on campus

Isn’t friendship just the best kind of magic? The lifelong friendships you make at University are a little piece of magic that you’ll keep with you for the rest of your life. 

3. Student Creativity

We’re constantly astounded by the creativity shown by our students - everyone from our Art Society to our students’ individual artistic endeavors! Inspired by our clock tower Old Joe and the new Fantastic Beats movie, Laura Kirk has created her very own magical creature, The Time Keeper!

4. Campus Sunsets

Not to boast, but our campus sunsets really are something to behold. Rays of pinky hues over our trademark red brick - the result is nothing short of magical.

5. The Vale in the Morning Mist

A far cry from Dracula’s ominous and omnipresent mists, the early morning mist creates a floating veil over the Vale lake - a magical sight for those that rise early enough to catch a glimpse!

6. Winterbourne Gardens

If you’ve never visited, you’re truly missing out. This is a silent haven in the midst of academic stress, away from the hustle and bustle of campus, Winterbourne is a true little secret garden...

7. Campus

Areas of our campus are always being likened to parts of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We’ve not yet seen a portrait move . . .  but you never know! 

8. Vale Fireworks

They’re incredible sight to see, the yearly fireworks put on by our Guild of Students looks like a real show of wizardry!

9. Traditions

Image: @birminghman

Students steer clear of walking underneath Old Joe when he chimes, for fear that they’ll be cursed and fail their exams... Whether truth or mere superstition, we’d advise you do the same...you never know!

10. Our Research

From life-saving strides forward in science to groundbreaking new insights into social norms and behaviour, our academics’s research truly is fantastic. 

To tie in with the release of the new Fantastic Beasts movie, we’re sharing a series of videos and podcasts about our Fantastic Research, answering questions such as will we ever be able to apparate and what would you see in the Mirror of Erised?

I gathered quite a lot of ideas from this area the last time I was in Birmingham. It was photographs that I took on a canal trip a year or so earlier though that I used as the basis of this print. I rediscovered my ‘Beasts of the Southern Wild’ soundtrack and ‘Bathtub’ became a working title for this as yet untitled view. . . . #birmingham #hellobrum #thisisbham #visitbirmingham #secondcity #megaprintmakers #contemporaryprintmaking #linoprint #blockprint #inkonblock #justprintmaking #printmakersofinstagram #linocutting #reductionlino #blockprinting #linocutprinting #linocut #birminghamcanals #arenabirmingham #nationalindoorarena #commonwealthgamesbirmingham #thebathtub #100viewsofbirmingham #oldturnjunction #deepcuttingjunction https://www.instagram.com/p/CG0P08xDkta/?igshid=14ajeo2zdcsgf

University of Birmingham Library (left) & Teaching and Learning building (right). Impressive and beautiful buildings. The library is open 24/7 and I have never seen a library so busy!

What your first 5 hours of University could look like

Image: @redbricknews

The first day of University can be daunting – where do you go? What do you do? It feels like you should be doing loads of stuff straight away, but often the initial rush of moving all your stuff in can suddenly become very quiet once it’s all done. It’s important to remember that everyone’s moving in experience is slightly different depending on when they move in, but here’s an example of what the first five hours at University could be like to help put your mind at ease.

 Hour 1

Pick up your keys and head to your accommodation. Once you’ve figured out which flat is yours and wound your way through everyone else milling around, you head into the flat and find your room. At UoB the Guild provide a welcome team, consisting entirely of students, to help you find your flat, help carry boxes and answer any questions you may have the moment you get there.

They’ve all been through the move-in process too so don’t be afraid to ask them questions, no matter how small! The flat may be totally empty and silent if no-one else is in, or it could be crammed full of people if everyone is moving in at the same time with their whole family helping. You move in all your stuff and look at the piles of boxes in your room, with no idea where to start. You decide to make a cup of tea using your brand new kettle instead.

Hour 2

Tea-drunk (and possibly some flatmates introduced by this point) you start to put some things away, and already realise you’ve forgotten something important, meaning it’s time for your first trip to the shops! IKEA is only a 20 minute drive away and there are supermarkets all around, so there are plenty of options. Stock up on milk, bread, and stock cupboard essentials, also a laundry bag could be helpful, moving in is hard work).

Hour 3

You return victorious from your trip to the shops and finish unpacking your stuff. Things are still not quite in the right place and posters aren’t put up, but suitcases are emptied and boxes are flattened. You remember the University’s Insta Story about posting a picture of your Uni room and you want to join in, but it will have to wait. It’s now time for the emotional goodbyes as your family head off (you must remember to call them as soon as you’ve made a friend).

Things seem quite quiet so you go into the kitchen to meet your flatmates – you’re very nervous but surely opening a packet of biscuits will help?

Hour 4

Introductions have been made and you’re getting on really well with your flatmates – of course you get on better with some than with others but they’re all really nice! You’re just asking after the final person of your flat who is due to arrive when you hear the door unlocked and bags bashing along the hallway – your final housemate has arrived! You all rush to help them with their things over cheery introductions (their dad tells you about the traffic).

Hour 5

Everything has settled down again and all of you are sat in the kitchen wondering what to do next. Things are a little awkward, sure, but you can tell you’re going to get on well. You think about dinner and as a group you discuss the options: you could go out to eat? You could cook as a flat? You decide to order takeaway and watch some trashy TV before heading out on your first flat outing.

Can’t sleep? Stop trying. It’s counterintuitive but trying to do a thing and doing it are not the same thing.
