International students

International welcome team

We have been hosting international students since our inception in 1900, and now boast one of the largest international student communities in the UK. The mix of people, nationalities and cultures on campus greatly enriches our learning and teaching environment, ensuring that our students, academic staff and partners across the world benefit from the experience that the University of Birmingham has to offer.

Anna Slesarchuk, BSc Accounting and Finance, 2006-2009, Russia "What I really liked is that feeling of belonging to a University. I was part of something so big and important. It felt good just to come on campus and sit in front of the library, read books and communicate with people. Everything is organised in such a nice way. Facilities for studying in the University are great."

Our history of welcoming international students means that we understand the type of support you need to settle in to life as a student in a country away from home. From our International Student's Advisory Service to our English for International Students Unit, you can be assured of a great experience whilst you study.
