To do this, we have designed an online open day packed with everything from insight on your course of interest, 3D tours of our cutting edge facilities, Q&As with lecturers, the chance to talk to support services about living and studying in Birmingham and more.

New postgraduate courses for 2020 include Strength, Conditioning and Performance MSc, Prosthetics for Film and Television MA and Finance and Accounting MSc/PGDip, whereby students will have use of a new financial trading suite, the first of its kind for a UK university.
Meet your lecturers and get a feel for your course

Explore our facilities
Excellent teaching goes hand-in-hand with excellent facilities. Supported by our ongoing £130 million investment in our new campuses, equipment and resources, University College Birmingham’s facilities are nothing short of world class.
All of our campuses are within a short walking distance of each other in the heart of the city centre too and while we can’t take you around just now, we hope our facilities page will inspire you.
Explore our accommodation
Finding the right accommodation is key for postgraduate students, particularly international students, many of whom will be living away from home for the first time.
Virtual tours of our halls of residence, The Maltings, is designed to give you a feel of what your new ‘home from home’ will be like. Located in the heart of Birmingham close to our campuses, shops and restaurants, they can accommodate more than 1,000 students.
