Postgraduate Open Days

Join us for an on-campus Open Day where you'll be able to learn about our postgraduate courses in detail, explore our campus and chat with current postgraduate students.

Attend as many talks as you can

There’s no such thing as having too much information, all of our talks are informative, useful and engaging, so attend as many as you can fit into your visit.

Take notes

There will be lots going on at our Open Events, so it's best to make a few notes so you remember all the key information you've found on the day.

Explore the city

Take this opportunity to explore the city you could be calling home. Birmingham is a great city no matter what you’re interested in.

From the historic Jewellery Quarter and the bustling Bullring to the relative calm of leafy Edgbaston, there’s something for everyone, so why not make a day or weekend of it and get to know your potential new home?
