There are two basic options to get to Birmingham New Street rail station
from Stansted, there is a direct train (I think it is an hourly service)
that takes 3.5 hours, or you can do a 3-train journey -- train Stansted
-> Tottenham Hale (this is the main Stansted -> London Liverpool Street
service, tube Tottenham Hale -> Euston, then train Euston -> Birmingham
New Street; overall about 2.75 hours, so faster than a direct train!
