Preparing for the UK

Once you've received and accepted your offer of a place with us, there are a number of steps you need to take to ensure you can take up your place and begin your studies in the UK.

You'll also need to plan your travel to Birmingham, organise your accommodation, and prepare yourself for living and studying in the UK.

It's an exciting time, but you'll also need to be organised to ensure everything runs smoothly. These pages outline the main things you'll need to do while you're preparing to move to the UK and take up your place at Birmingham City University.
