WELCOME
TO BIRMINGHAM.

"youngest city in Europe."

Less than 10 minutes from Vita Student is Digbeth, a stylish neighbourhood that is bursting with creativity. Packed with street food vendors, art galleries, and music venues, you’ll quickly see why Digbeth was crowned the “Coolest Neighbourhood in Britain”.
