When we were founded in 1914, we set out to be modern, relevant and vocationally inspired and we still do. Back then we challenged and pushed the mining and ceramics industries forward- now it’s anything from Computer Games Design to Forensic Science.

In 1998 the University opened a new campus in Lichfield, which is jointly owned with Tamworth and Lichfield College"
