thing over here that needs to be mentioned and obviously the clarification that is required is the history behind the University of Birmingham and the reason why it has become the most sought out University in the world right now the earliest beginnings of the University was originally traced back to the Queen’s College which is linked to the William San Cox in his aims of creating a medical school along strictly Christian lines unlike the Contemporary London medical schools and after further research was revealed the roots of the Birmingham Medical School is the medical education seminars of John Tomlinson’s the first surgeon to the Birmingham workhouse infirmary and later to the Birmingham General Hospital these classes were held in January 1767 and 68 which were the first such lectures that were held in England or Wales in 1999 talks commenced on the possibility of Aston University integrating itself into the University of Birmingham as the University of Birmingham Aston campus this would have resulted in the University of Birmingham expanding to become one of the largest universities in the UK with a student body of 30 000 students and talks were halted in 2001 after Aston University determined the timing to be inappropriate while Aston University’s management was in favor of the integration and reception among the staff was generally positive the Aston Student Union voted 2-1 against the integration and despite this setback the vice Chancellor of the University of Birmingham said that the doors remained open to recommence the talks with Aston universities are still ready now the thing over here that you need to keep in mind is that University is absolutely brilliant with this multiple campus the original building the main campus of the
