New postgraduate students enrolling in September 2025

Step 2 – Upload your documents

Once you complete the online registration, you must upload your documents to the Student Dashboard. You will need to navigate to My Dashboard > Enrolment > Task > Upload ID Card Photo & Identity Documents. Make sure you upload ALL documents that are relevant to you, including:

• your chosen photo for ID (no Snapchat filters, please, let’s keep it professional!)
• your proof of ID – see below for the list of acceptable identity documents
• any residence evidence – e.g. your passport/residence documents, if relevant
• scans/clear photos of qualifications for any outstanding conditions
• any evidence of your name change, if your name is now different from the name on the documentation you provide to us, e.g. deed poll document or marriage certificate. All our systems will use the name on your official documentation.

As soon as your image has been uploaded, it will automatically be saved. 

A few things to note

• Do not email us your documents during this time. If you are having trouble uploading them, don’t worry, our Admissions team will call you to help you with this process.
• The phone number we will be calling from is 0121 604 1000. Please ensure your email and phone contact details are up to date, as these are the credentials we will use to contact you. 

The Enrolment team is calling applicants who have not yet uploaded their documents. We will continue to call throughout the month to ask you to upload any missing documents. Don’t worry if you miss our call. We will send you an email to say we’ve called and will call back later. 

Before we can complete your enrolment, we require confirmation of the following:

• You have sufficient funding (SLC) in place to cover your course (home students)* or
• That you have paid 100% of your first-year fees (international students)
• You have completed any in-person identity ('Right to Study') checks as required

All that’s left is for you to do after this point is collect your UCB student ID card.

You will receive an invoice for your tuition fees, and it is your responsibility to ensure that these fees are paid to the University in line with the advertised instalment dates. Even if you have applied for a postgraduate loan from Student Finance, it is still your responsibility to ensure you pay your fees to the University yourself. Student Finance will not pay the University directly.
