Student Life
Studying in Birmingham
From eating out, nightlife and entertainment to shopping, sport, history and culture, they don’t come more exciting and vibrant than Birmingham.
With nearly 40% of the population under the age of 25, it’s no wonder the UK’s second largest city is considered one of the top places to study.
Our community
Your time at college and sixth form is more than classes. It's also about the friendships you form and the activities you get involved in.
It's about feeling supported, knowing that you always have someone to speak to and help guide you during your studies. Our college and sixth form community gives you so many opportunities and has your back.
Our Guild of Students
Run by students, for students. No matter where you're from or what you're studying, our Guild of Students is here for you.
As your students' union, the Guild exists to make sure all students have their voices heard on the issues that matter, providing you with the opportunity to help shape your course and your overall experience as a University College Birmingham student.
Supporting who you are
University College Birmingham is proud to celebrate our vibrant LGBTQ+ community, and we're committed to creating a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
From wellbeing services and student groups to participating in Pride events and our dedicated Gender Expression Fund, we're here to ensure LGBTQ+ students are fully supported throughout their time with us.
We care about the things that matter
University College Birmingham takes sustainability very seriously. We are using our position to embed sustainability into all our operations as well as our place in the local community and wider society. We also welcome feedback from our students and staff on how we can best shape our sustainable practices.
