Meet and Greet

University College Birmingham will be offering you support from the moment you arrive in Birmingham.  In September 2010, we will have representatives in the arrival halls at Birmingham International Airport to meet and greet you when you arrive in the city.

The College representatives will escort you onto public transportation (i.e. Taxi which costs approximately £15-£20), which will take you to your accommodation.

Available dates and times:

There will be 2-day periods when we will make this service available for all international students who have been offered an unconditional place at the College in academic year 2010/2011. We strongly suggest you make arrangements to arrive at Birmingham Airport as it is the most convenient and easy way to get to the UCB or the Halls of Residence.

  1. On 18th and 19th September 2010 - from 0800 hours to 2200 hours (the weekend before the One Week Orientation programme starts for international students)

This meet and greet service is free. However, you are responsible for the transportation cost (i.e. taxi fares) to your destination.

In order to offer this service you will need to book and inform us of your arrival details at least 3 days before you are due to arrive.

If you would like to book the meet and greet service, contact the International Office at international@ucb.ac.uk or complete and return the application form.
