Information Day - Arts and Humanities

If you're just starting to research universities, missed our June Open Day, or can't attend one of our main Open Days, our Arts and Humanities Information Day is a great opportunity to get to know the University of Birmingham.

Designed for students interested in Arts and Humanities, this event offers an early introduction to studying at Birmingham. You'll have the chance to explore our campus, meet staff and current students, and discover what it's like to study here.

If you're able to attend one of our full Open Days on 10 October or 14 November, we encourage you to do so, as these events include the full programme of subject talks, exhibitions and student experiences. However, our Information Day is the perfect first step if you're beginning your university journey or are unable to attend an Open Day.

What to expect

Join us on campus for a relaxed and informative event where you'll:

• Explore our beautiful campus and accommodation.
• Meet academic staff and current students.
• Learn about studying Arts and Humanities at Birmingham.
• Hear about exciting opportunities, including Years in Industry and Modern Languages.
• Find out more about student life and the UCAS application process.
• Ask questions and receive guidance to help you make informed university choices.

It's particularly suitable if you:
