information for international students

Hello and Welcome!

We’re really excited to welcome you to the University of Birmingham and to our lovely city! 

You should be very proud of yourself for achieving the qualifications required to study here and being brave enough to leave friends and family to live in a different country.

If you have arrived before the start of term in September we have a whole support page dedicated to international pre-sessional students, please click here.
