How to Apply for Exchange programme

As an incoming exchange student (non fee-paying), you will need to be nominated by your home university (usually your study abroad/international office team) before applying for the programme. Please check with them to ensure you have been nominated.

Once the nomination is approved, we will send you a direct application link to apply for the Exchange programme.

When applying, students will need to upload:

• A copy of an official Transcript of Records showing the courses taken and grades (signed and stamped);
• A copy of your passport valid for the period of your exchange;
• English Language Proficiency (ELP) certificate (if applicable).

To support you with your application, we have created a Guide to completing the application and a video below that takes you step by step through the process of becoming an exchange student at the university. Visit our frequently asked questions for common queries about application procedure and offer letters.

Please note:

This process is not for applying to the University of Birmingham to study a full-time undergraduate or postgraduate degree.
