Information Day - Natural Sciences

If you're just starting to research universities, missed our June Open Day, or can't attend one of our main Open Days, our Natural Sciences Information Day is a great opportunity to discover what it's like to study at the University of Birmingham.

Designed for students with a passion for more than one scientific discipline, this event offers an early introduction to our interdisciplinary Natural Sciences BSc. You'll have the opportunity to explore our campus, meet academics and current students, and discover how Birmingham's flexible degree allows you to combine subjects and create a course tailored to your interests and career ambitions.

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. Our Information Day is the perfect first step if you're beginning your university journey or are unable to attend an Open Day.
