We aim to make the application process for your incoming students as smooth as possible as they embark on their Study Abroad experience at the University of Birmingham.
For European and International Exchange students we request a nomination from our overseas partners for all students who select the University of Birmingham, either for one semester or the full academic year using the exchange nomination form.
If a student is applying as a study abroad fee-paying student, either for one semester or the full academic year and is from one of our overseas partners, then we also request a nomination to be completed using the study abroad fee-paying nomination form.
Please send details of your nominated students to the Study Abroad team, by completing one of the online nomination forms below, which will include their full name, their chosen host school and preferred college at the University of Birmingham. Once nominated, your students will be directed to apply using our online application form. Students must apply before the deadline so they can be included in our module registration process.

Short Term Mobility at the University of Birmingham
