Welcome to the BMCA
The Classical Association is an educational charity, dedicated to making classical subjects widely accessible.
We support everyone who has an interest in the ancient world and our members are diverse – from the general public to academic specialists.
At the BMCA, our mission is to engage with the wider Birmingham and Midlands community to share enthusiasm for classics, ancient history and archaeology with various events and initiatives: Lectures, Book Club, Athena's Owls, Conferences and Teacher Days.
We are based at the University of Birmingham, but we are not just for students and professors - we are for everyone!
