redbrick
A red brick university (or redbrick university) was originally one of the nine civic universities founded in the major industrial cities of England in the 19th century.However, with the 1960s proliferation of plate glass universities and the reclassification of polytechnics in the Further and Higher Education Act 1992 as post-1992 universities, all British universities founded in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in major cities are now sometimes referred to as "red brick".Six of the original redbrick institutions, or their predecessor institutes, gained university status before World War I and were initially established as civic science or engineering colleges. Eight of the nine original institutions are members of the Russell Group.

redbrick
Redbrick is a term traditionally used to refer to British universities that were established in the industrial cities of England in the late 19th century and early 20th century. The name "redbrick" was inspired by the Victorian architectural style of these institutions, which were often made from red brick. These universities, such as Liverpool, Manchester, and Birmingham, were contrasted with older, more prestigious universities like Oxford and Cambridge, often referred to as "ancient" universities.

Redbrick
Redbrick is the student newspaper of the University of Birmingham. Originally titled Guild News, the newspaper was renamed Redbrick in 1962. As with most student newspapers Redbrick is not fully independent due to funding arrangements, but is editorially independent as is set out in its charter. Redbrick is written, photographed, edited and published entirely by University students, and is run not for profit, funded by both advertising revenue and the Guild of Students. It consists of News, Comment&Features, Arts, Music, Life&Style, Television, Film, Food, Travel, Technology and Sport sections. A sport supplement titled The Lion is published biannually. The newspaper is produced weekly during term time, with the exception of the summer semester as publication halts during exam season. The newspaper celebrated its 75th birthday in February 2011. The paper is distributed free around campus and the local area every Friday. Redbrick's website - has grown significantly following a redesign in early 2011. Since then it has won the Guardian Student Media Award for 'Website of the Year' 2011 and it receives over 5,000 unique visitors every week, meaning it has now overtaken the print edition in terms of readership.
