West Midlands
West Midlands Introduction The West Midlands has an area of just under 13,000 km2. Around 5.2 million people live in the region, giving a population density of 405 people per km2. This is close to the average for England, but West Midlands metropolitan county – which consists of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton – is the second most densely populated urban area in the country after London. It has nearly 3,000 people per km2. Birmingham has just under 1 million inhabitants, making it the second largest city in the UK. Other significant urban areas are Stoke-on-Trent, Worcester, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Stafford. Economic development The economic output of the West Midlands is just around £63 billion, 8.2 per cent of the total UK GDP. Manufacturing industry is responsible for just over a quarter of employment and almost 30 per cent of GDP, the highest proportion for any region in the UK. However, the manufacturing industry is declining in favour of service industries. Unemployment in the region is above the national average at 5.9 per cent. The total income of higher education institutions in the region is over £990 million per year. Higher education provision There are 12 higher education institutions in the West Midlands: eight universities and four higher education colleges. There are an additional 41 further education colleges with students taking higher education courses. All nine Staffordshire FECs offering HE courses have joined a funding consortium of 12 institutions led by Staffordshire University. The higher education student population is over 127,000 full-time equivalent (FTE) students.

Rising to Real World Challenges – from the Lab to Changing Lives
The Universities of the West Midlands. Rising to real world challenges – from the lab to changing lives. 1 Rising to real world challenges – from the lab to changing lives How the Universities of the West Midlands are coming together to realise the grand challenges facing the UK and the world Introduction Universities are economic engines contributing £2.9 billion GVA to the West Midlands and creating 55,000 jobs (directly and indirectly) across all skills levels. While many are recognised for their impact in talent and innovation generated through teaching and research, it can be difficult to understand the link between the work happening in their institutions and how it will affect everyday lives. The Universities of the West Midlands – Aston University, Birmingham City University, Coventry University, University of Birmingham, University of Warwick and the University of Wolverhampton – have come together to demonstrate how they are making their mark by rising to the grand challenges set out by the Government. Addressing these challenges will improve people’s lives and influence productivity. The Universities are providing life-changing solutions to make us healthier, wealthier and more productive. Their research and development reaches far beyond the laboratory and lecture theatre, creating real-world solutions to the grand challenges. Each university makes a unique contribution to specialist sectors within the West Midlands’ economy. It is their collective strength that makes the region distinctive in its ability to accelerate business growth and innovation. 2 The West Midlands Local Industrial Strategy Building on the strengths and research specialisms of its universities, the West Midlands is set to unveil a trailblazing Local Industrial Strategy.

Chancellor's Commission Essay Competition
Chancellor’s Commission Essay Competition: The University of Warwick – Supporting, Inspiring and Engaging a Region The University of Warwick finds itself nestled in a region to which it can lend its powerful skillset. The area that this essay will be focusing on in particular will be the West Midlands, especially Birmingham and Coventry, and Warwickshire. This essay will also draw upon my own views as I believe a personal opinion can help to shed light on some of the ways Warwick University could positively help its local community. Issues to be discussed will include challenges facing young people, greener living through sustainability, rural economy, and the current issue of the construction of ‘High Speed 2’ (known as HS2). Firstly, however, this essay will focus on housing. Housing has been ranked as the most urgent issue in need of address for local councils in a recent survey1. Speaking to local MP Mr Chris White, of Warwick and Leamington constituency, he observed more people in need of houses than there were houses to accommodate them2. Though housing issues face the whole nation, it can be argued that the Mr White’s constituency faces a more unique problem as he stated how the housing crisis is coupled with issues of congestion and public transport3. Many students can attest to these problems, with the latter appropriately summarised by Warwick University’s SU President in a recent open letter to Stagecoach4. Indeed, Mr White’s discussion of the background to the housing issue is punctuated by Warwickshire County Council’s community strategy plan for the next decade which states how “housing affordability is still an issue, particularly in certain parts of the County”5.

Universities across the UK (and the world) are carrying out unprecedented work to fight Covid 19, whether that be via staff, research or manufacturing equipment. This movement is like no other documented and so the #WeAreTogether campaign showcases how everyone in society is benefiting from our Universities. #WeAreTogether Tweets Oxford University heads up research on Covid 19 Where would we be without our Universities? Oxford University is leading the way in pioneering research against the virus. Here are a few examples of their research. University contribution Universities including staff, academics and students have been hugely beneficial in the fight against Coronavirus. 1) Research, vaccines & testing What would the battle have looked like without our Universities? Considering the significant impact they have had so far? 2) Resources & people power It’s highly likely that a report will be released in years to come that investigates the true input 3) Supporting through the crisis (students & the of our Universities. community To get an idea as to the types of offerings the Higher Horizons partner Universities have contributed, we have broken down just a fraction of their support into 3 categories: - Research, vaccines & testing Keele University Researchers have volunteered to help the UK’s effort to increase coronavirus testing.
