History
Founded on February 23, 1875 by the Birmingham industrialist Josiah Mason, Mason Science College marked the beginning of higher education and teaching in Birmingham and was to become part of the newly founded University of Birmingham 25 years later. However, it was Joseph Chamberlain's passionate commitment to what was, from the point of view of the time and in comparison to traditional English universities, a more progressive and liberal educational policy that was actually significant for its creation. The university still relies on this entrepreneurial spirit today.
