Resumen:

This repository provides an official‑style Beamer presentation template for the University of Birmingham, designed to support the creation of professional, brand‑compliant academic and research presentations.

The template follows the University of Birmingham brand guidelines, including typography, colour usage, layout, and visual identity, as specified on the University’s brand portal (https://brand.birmingham.ac.uk/)). It is intended for use by staff and students who wish to produce slides that are visually consistent with the University’s corporate identity while retaining the flexibility and power of LaTeX and Beamer.

The complete source code is openly available on GitHub, enabling transparency, reuse, and community contributions (https://github.com/joedpreece/uob-beamer-template).
