Guidance for partners

We aim to make the application process for your incoming students as smooth as possible as they embark on their Study Abroad experience at the University of Birmingham.

For European and International Exchange students we request a nomination from our overseas partners for all students who select the University of Birmingham, either for one semester or the full academic year.

Please send details of your nominated students to the Study Abroad team, by completing the nomination form below, which will include their full name, their current subject of study and also the proposed subject area here at the University of Birmingham. Once nominated,  your students will be directed to apply online using our online application form. Students must apply before the deadline so they can be included in our module registration process.

If a student is applying as a study abroad fee-paying student and therefore outside of the exchange agreement, then they can simply apply online before the deadline.

For students wishing to attend Birmingham in 2024/25

Applications for the 2024/25 cycle (for September 2024 and January 2025) are welcome from February 2024.

For the 2024/2025 cycle, our autumn semester nomination deadline is the 31 March 2024 and application deadline is the 30 April 2024 for an admission to the University of Birmingham at any point during the 2024/25 cycle. Please use our online nomination form. Nominations received by email are not accepted.

For Admissions to the Spring 2025 semester, we will accept nominations until the 30 September 2024 for entry in Semester 2 only (in January 2025) and the application deadline is 31 October 2024. However we encourage you to send your nominations during the summer via our online nomination form. Nominations received by email are not accepted.

Please contact the Study Abroad and Exchanges Team if you anticipate these new deadlines may be challenging for your institution.

Short Term Mobility at the University of Birmingham

If your students wish to study at the University of Birmingham but one semester or a full year duration is too long, then we may be able to offer Faculty-led programmes or Summer Research Programmes with supervision from our Faculty. If this is of interest, please Contact us.
