Birmingham, England

Uni student

There are so many reasons why you should choose to study at University College Birmingham, but don't just take our word for it.

We are the highest-ranking university in the region, according to the 2024 Whatuni Student Choice Awards, which are based solely on student choice. We are also best in the West Midlands for student support, international and postgraduate.


The accolades speak volumes, but the very best way to see if we are right for you is to come along to an open day. You can explore our campuses and facilities, as well as speak to lecturers about your chosen course. You can also chat with current students, who have the best insight of all.


You will also get a chance to learn more about our free £5k to support your studies that can help with essentials like food, bills and travel; and it doesn’t need to be paid back.


Can't make it? Book onto our campus tour instead.

3 Essential Degree Decisions Tips for University Open Days

1. Always Book Ahead
Don’t just turn up! Subject talks, accommodation tours, and specialised workshops often have limited capacity and fill up fast. Pre-registering online locks in your spot, gives you access to the official event schedule app, and ensures you get notified of any last-minute time or location changes.

2. Plan Your Route & Look for Travel Bursaries
Open day travel costs can add up quickly, especially if you're visiting universities across the country. Check train or parking options early, and always check the university's website for travel bursaries. Many UK universities offer £20 to £100+ to help cover travel expenses for eligible prospective students.

3. Talk to Current Students (Not Just Lecturers)
Lecturers will give you the academic pitch, but student ambassadors will give you the unfiltered reality. Ask them the questions that aren't in the prospectus: What’s the accommodation really like? How is the local nightlife? Is public transport easy? What do you wish you knew before picking this uni?
