Campus Tours

Tours run for 1 hour and are undertaken by a student ambassador. Each tour will include all facilities across our three sites – McIntyre House, Moss House and Summer Row.

We know you'll be seeking the advice and guidance of your family when making your decision, but the safety of our community and visitors remains our number one priority. Therefore, our campus tours are currently limited to one prospective student with a maximum of three guests per prospective student.

All staff, students and visitors are advised to wear a face-covering while indoors on all University sites. Please follow our health and safety guidelines while on campus. 

Please note, your booking party must only contain those within your household/support bubble. If you are under 18, you will need to be accompanied by a parent/guardian (who must be aged over 18). Regrettably, due to safeguarding guidelines, if you are aged under 18 and attend a campus tour without a parent/guardian, we will be unable to take you on a campus tour.

We have limited designated parking available in the city centre at The Link building (Charlotte Street). Please use postcode B3 1JJ if using a sat nav. Please note, parking will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis. 

Please be aware that major roadworks are being carried out in the area, which may affect your journey.

Birmingham Snow Hill and Birmingham New Street stations are a 10-minute walk from University College Birmingham. You can view a walking map here.

Where possible, we advise you take a Covid-19 lateral flow test prior to coming onto campus. You can find your nearest Covid-19 lateral flow test site here. If you or any member of your booking party do take a Covid-19 test and it is positive, please do not attend the campus tour. Please note, UCB will not provide testing facilities to visitors.

Please call ahead on 0121 232 4300 to advise of any lateness as we have allocated a set tour, and this may result in your tour being cut short.

Free vouchers to purchase lunch and refreshments will be given to visitors on arrival.

In line with Government guidance, masks are mandatory whilst indoors on all university sites unless exempt.

From 2 June, our student accommodation will be open for viewings during our undergraduate campus tours. Please see our accommodation-specific FAQs here.

 Our Academic and Support Staff will be available to speak to after your campus tour and lunch. If you would like to find out more about your course of interest, our student ambassadors and members of the marketing team will be happy to answer any questions you may have. You may also like to attend our next open day, where you can attend a course presentation and talks and drop-in sessions from other services within the University.
