Coat of arms

The college arms were granted on March 18, 1955 by Garter, Clarenceux and Norroy and Ulster Kings of Arms to the Corporation of Birmingham, to use the old College of Technology. They were designed to show the connection with the City School and the teaching of technology. The arms consist of a shield and crest. The shield has two sections - the field (the master fund), which is blue and a boss (broadband in the top of the screen) silver. In the field is a diagonal line of five gold diamonds attached to each other, similar to the first quarter of Arms of the City of Birmingham and incorporated into the arms of the university to show their connection to the city. This was adopted by the family of Birmingham, which derives its name from the village after Birmingham, and as long as the lords of the manor fourteenth to the sixteenth century. The boss is an open book bound in red sandwiched between two black cocks, showing the connection of the University with the technology, the book represents learning and hammers engineering and related activities.

The shield is also designed to emphasize the pursuit of knowledge. It consists of a red torch held high by a forearm between two gold laurel branches. Having originally been used in the hull of a person with all their weapons, the crest is always placed at the top of the head. The method of joining the ridge of the head was generally hidden by the decoration and in the arms of the University; this is accomplished by using a crown and a crown. The crown is silver, red and black; these colors are taken from the shield. It is topped by a mural crown (resembling a wall), which is reserved in modern grants to individuals and organizations linked to public corporations. The dismantling fabric hanging from the top of the head is the survival of the layer had originally to protect the armor color in the two main colors of the shield, blue and gold.

The motto of the university is the same as that of the City of Birmingham, "Go ahead."
