About Birmingham
Birmingham is an exciting environment in which to study. Britain’s second city and served by excellent public transport and air travel links, it is close to many places of outstanding historical, industrial, and cultural interest including Stratford upon Avon. People of many cultures and religions live in and around the city and it is rich in opportunities to learn more about other faiths as well as how a cosmopolitan multi-faith environment functions.
In Quaker terms, Birmingham is close to Fenny Drayton, birthplace of George Fox, and Ironbridge where Quaker families were so instrumental in the beginnings of the Industrial Revolution. There is a high Quaker population in and around Birmingham with many Meeting Houses to visit and plenty of scope for sociological work. Woodbrooke is located very close to Bournville with its model village developed by the Cadbury family and distinctive Meeting House.
