Principal's Welcome

Choosing what and where to study are two of the most important decisions you are ever going to have to make. The choices available to you are greater than ever before. It is important that the decisions you are about to make are the right ones for you as they will affect not just your time in education but also your future career and life chances.

So why should you choose to study with us at University College Birmingham? Well, we have a well-deserved reputation for outstanding support for students, high quality programmes that fully prepare our students for employment, superb practical facilities and strong, highly effective links with industry. That view is shared by the thousands of students from the UK and overseas who choose to study with us each year.

Birmingham is an exciting and fun place to live. Whatever your interests there is something for you with the range of social, sporting and cultural activities that only a major city can provide.

We believe University College Birmingham is the right place for you to study but don't just take our word for it. Why not come along to one of our Open Days, have a look at what we have to offer and take the opportunity to speak to staff and current students? I know that if you take the time to check us out you will want to join us.

I hope that you will give careful thought to your choice of programme and I look forward to welcoming you to University College Birmingham.
