Campus tours

Once you've booked your tour, you'll receive a confirmation email with the meeting point and further information. In the event that you're no longer able to attend, please do let us know as soon as possible so that your place can be made available to other visitors. If you do not receive your confirmation, please email studentrecruitment@contacts.bham.ac.uk

Please familiarise yourself with our latest information about the best ways to travel to the University. We have our own train station at the University (‘University' station) which is around 7 minutes from Birmingham New Street. If you are driving to the University, then there are pay and display car parks that you can use. We recommend the North East Car Park (postcode B15 2SA).

We offer a range of subjects at the University so the student ambassador leading your tour is unlikely to be studying your course of interest, however all of ambassadors have extensive experience of student life at the University. There are lots of other ambassadors available online for you to talk to about our programmes.

The best way to see what accommodation is on offer at Birmingham is to use the 360 tours available on the accommodation section of our website.

Yes! Whether you know Birmingham like the back of your hand or you’ve not yet had the chance to visit, there’s always something new to explore in our city. Birmingham is more than just the Bullring; from galleries, symphony orchestras, and museums, to festivals, a thriving nightlife scene and incredible food, you’ll always have something fresh to discover. If you get the chance to explore our city before or after your event then we’d recommend taking it, and you can speak to our staff and students about the best places to explore.

Unfortunately, we are unable to arrange individual visits. If you cannot make one of our scheduled campus tours or if a particular date is fully booked or unavailable, you are welcome to have a look round independently and can visit campus any day between 9.00am and 4.00pm.

If you, or anyone accompanying you, have mobility issues or any special requirements then please email studentrecruitment@contacts.bham.ac.uk in advance of your visit to allow us to make your visit as easy as possible. You can view our Mobility Map here.

In rare circumstances beyond our control we may need to cancel a campus tour at short notice. Should this occur, we will contact you using the email address provided.

And if our helpful frequently asked questions don't answer your query, then you can submit a question and our support team will get back to you.
