Birmingham City University

A university initiative today proved to 12 and 13 year-old girls that engineering can be an enjoyable career for women, in a bid to address the fact that only 6% of engineers in the UK are female.

At the heart of a global push to create a new generation of tech savvy manual workers, taking Britain into the fourth industrial revolution, is Birmingham City University. The institution is the only UK member of a global alliance of eight higher education establishments taking engineering and business teaching into a new era.
