Welcome Message
We’re looking forward to seeing you very soon and we hope you are excited to start your journey towards becoming a registered Paramedic. We appreciate that starting university can be a very hectic time and students often have several questions so in order to help, we will be available on your first day to clarify any issues to ensure your transition is as smooth as possible. If you have any questions the team are on hand to support you. You will also be meeting all of your fellow students as you embark on this exciting journey together.
Course Location
Your course will mainly be taught in:
Seacole Building, City South Campus (Room numbers start with SCT)
Supporting your transition
During Welcome Week, you’ll get to meet our Student Ambassadors as soon as you walk onto campus. They’ll be there to support you with finding your Student Support Centre, collecting your ID card and guiding you in the right direction, and for a friendly hello!
First day on Campus
We look forward to welcoming you to Birmingham City University!
You must have your ID card visible at all times when on campus, so if you have received yours before your first day, ensure you bring this with you. If you enrolled late you will need to collect one on campus during your first few days. Please remember that your ID card is for your use only. You must never let anyone else use it.
To complete your enrolment, you will need the following:
- Passport (or other form of photo ID if you are a UK/EU student)
- Original qualification documents if applicable (you will be emailed a list of the documents we need to see once you have completed your online enrolment)
- Visa (international students only)
What else? The rest is up to you! You will find a shop, café, pub, computer access and water fountains on campus, but we do recommend you bring the following on the first day:
- Laptop, if you have one
- Notepad and pen
- Reusable water bottle
- Snack
- Money
And remember, the weather in Birmingham can be changeable!
