第29章 名校风采Famous Universities(4)

The main University campus at Edgbaston is outstanding among UK universities. It is spacious and attractive with lawnslawn n.草地, 草坪, (均匀生长于固体培养基的)菌苔, trees, a lake and pleasant spaces between the different buildings. It was one of the first “redbrick” universities and is said to be the origin of the term. The buildings, which reflect changing architectural styles through the twentieth century, are grouped around the central Chancellor,s Court with the 100metrehigh Chamberlain clock tower which honours the University,s first Chancellor, Joseph Chamberlain. The spectacular Great Hall and Aston Webb Crescent are buildings of selfconfidence and majesty.

The University has some of the best sports facilities in the United Kingdom. These include a swimming pool, sports halls, athleticsathletics n.运动 track, gymnasia and squash courts, as well as stateoftheart waterbased hockey pitches. There are playing fields and a golf driving range. At Coniston in the Lake District, the University has an outdoor pursuits centre.

For over 100 years the University of Birmingham has helped to develop knowledge and understanding through a spirit of challenge and enquiry. Although the foundations were rooted in the needs of our region for educated minds and people able to lead and develop business, inevitably, discoveries made by our academics have helped to fuel international development and our graduates lead global companies.

In recent times, Birmingham researchers developed pace makers and synthesised vitamin C. They are pioneering a new treatment for prostate cancer, working as partners in the European Space Programme as well as at the frontiers of Shakespeare scholarship and recently developed the world,s smallest engine. These are research developments that change lives and society.

Today, in fact, the University boasts almost eight hundred researchers of international repute, defined by the stringent standards imposed by the UK Government,s Research Assessment Exercise. Areas of outstanding reputation include Anatomy, Chemical Engineering, Clinical Laboratory Science, Metallurgy and Materials, Russian and East European Studies, Sport and Exercise Sciences and West African Studies: a range of subjects which exemplifiesexemplify vt.例证, 例示, 作为……例子 our breadth of academic engagement and achievement across the Arts and Sciences.

This enthusiasm for diversity in theer academic work is reflected in the diversity of their learning community, as Birmingham welcomes students from over one hundred and fifty countries across the globe.

The university is situated only five minutes from the heart of the city of Birmingham, a city with a heritage of multiculturalism and nonconformism. For centuries, Birmingham has welcomed different faiths and cultures to help drive and benefit from the advancement of the city,s economy.
