To choose the right university you need to investigate, analyse, discuss and reflect; to question other people's opinions and be prepared to have your own ideas challenged. Finally, you will need the determination to stand by your decision.

These are the qualities that the University of Birmingham encourages in its students – qualities that can lead to world-class achievement.

Birmingham welcomes students from all countries of the world, students who are the first in their family to enter higher education, mature students returning to study and students with sensory or mobility impairments. If you are keen to question, to explore, to be challenged and inspired – Birmingham welcomes you.
