As we look towards the University of Birmingham's 125th anniversary, Domus will join Dr Helen Fisher of the Cadbury Research Library to explore a selection of historical documents and photographs from the University's archives relating to the history of the School of Education and its predecessors.
Education has a long history at Birmingham, predating the foundation of the University. Female students from the Birmingham Day Training College for Elementary Teachers attended lectures at Mason College from 1890. In 1894 the Training College was incorporated into the department of education at Mason College which was absorbed into the new civic University in 1900.
