    The second city, your second home

    If you’re going to be an international student, where better than Europe’s youngest city? With its friendly, diverse community, Birmingham is a modern, global hub within easy reach of the green English countryside. A centre for arts, culture, shopping and entertainment, the city is also home to the largest creative and financial sectors outside London. The perfect place to connect, grow and thrive.

Supporting you during your studies

Your health and wellbeing are our number one priority while you’re here. That’s why we offer a range of services to support you at every stage of your journey.

Meet our international students

    Meet us in your country or online

    You don’t need to travel to the UK to meet us. We regularly travel overseas to meet international students.

    If we're not in your country, you can get answers to your questions from the comfort of home. Through our online events, you can ask our students and staff anything about Birmingham.
