Once you have decided Birmingham is the place you want to study, the application process is straightforward.
In the UK all undergraduate degree applications must be made through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). This is a centralised admissions service which allows applicants to apply for up to five university courses on one application form.
For more information see www.undergraduate.bham.ac.uk/apply.
Postgraduate applications are made directly to the University. The University of Birmingham does not charge application fees for its postgraduate degrees.
For more information see www.postgraduate.bham.ac.uk/apply.
Please see the Study Abroad and Exchanges section to find out how to apply for the Birmingham Study Abroad Programme or the Exchange student programme.
Study Abroad and Exchanges
Many countries have a different education system to the UK. The University of Birmingham therefore offers one-year foundation programmes for international students who require a further year of study before beginning an undergraduate degree programme.
We also offer Presessional English for students who need to improve their English language ability before commencing their studies.

The University prospectus refers to UK qualifications and some international qualifications such as the International Baccalaureat. However many other qualifications from around the world are acceptable for entry to the University of Birmingham.
