From Harborne to your lecture
Your journey to the University of Birmingham
Start from Cadnam Hall or Duncan Smith House and plan the journey to your actual teaching building — not just the university postcode.
Know your campus
Choose the right side of the city
Edgbaston is the local campus option from our Harborne homes. The Medical School / University station side is on the Harborne approach; University House is further across campus. Selly Oak drama and Mill Pool Way dentistry are separate destinations. This is a geographic guide: compare the mapped route from each hall before choosing.
Business has its own destination
University House is on Edgbaston Park Road. Do not finish your route at the Medical School if your timetable sends you to business teaching.
University guidance ↗Drama & dentistry are elsewhere
Drama uses George Cadbury Hall on the Selly Oak campus. Dentistry is at Mill Pool Way: use the separate destination below.
