I am delighted you are interested in studying at BCUIC and Birmingham City University.

BCUIC is first and foremost firmly rooted in the city of Birmingham – a vibrant metropolis situated in the very centre of the UK. This prime position is further strengthened by the city’s cultural diversity, which reflects the College’s own unique blend of nationalities.

Also integral to BCUIC’s character is its flexibility. Every student who passes through our doors has differing motivations and ambitions, and our offer of an alternative pathway to

Birmingham City University – including three entry points throughout the year – can be moulded to varying individual circumstances.

We understand that progressing to university is a significant transition – made particularly daunting in a brand-new country – which is why we are dedicated to helping each and every student grow in both confidence and academic ability through the provision of a safe, nurturing environment.

I look forward to welcoming you to BCUIC very soon.

BSc (Hons) Gemmology and Jewellery Studies

I wanted to study at Birmingham City University because I loved the sound of Birmingham’s rich history in jewellery.

between the real ones and the imitations, and learn all about their individual properties.

BCUIC promotes independent learning, encouraging us to research and explore our own ideas, which is brilliant. It not only prepares you for university, but also for after you graduate and gain employment. The facilities at BCUIC are great too – it has

everything you need!

LAWYERFIKAYO OBADOFIN, NIGERIA

LLB (Hons) Law

Class sizes are small in BCUIC so you get lots of contact time with the tutors, and the tutors are very helpful and friendly –

they explain everything.

I’m really enjoying my studies at the University – we’ve even been to Luxembourg to visit the European Court of Justice!



STUDENT STORIES (CONTINUED)

CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTNUMAN ASIF, PAKISTAN

BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance

I chose to study at Birmingham City University because I want to get the ACCA qualifications, and the Accounting course offers the maximum number of exemptions. I also loved the sound of Birmingham – it’s such a multicultural city. My cousins studied

here and told me how great it was!

I had an amazing experience at BCUIC. Student Services were very helpful and responsive; any problems I had were

immediately addressed.

It was easy to mix with the other nationalities too and make friends. I was even elected as a member of BCUIC’s student

council! We went on some really good trips – to Drayton Manor Theme Park and shopping at the designer outlet Bicester Village

in Oxford. I had a fantastic time!

SOFTWARE DEVELOPERCLAUDIO CONCEICAO, ANGOLA

BSc (Hons) Computer Science

I always wanted to come to Birmingham. It’s the second biggest city in the UK and a good central location – you can easily get

down to London.

The resources available at BCUIC are excellent. The campus is equipped with Apple Mac suites, and the tutors are very

knowledgeable and friendly. The computer facilities at Millennium Point – on the City Centre Campus –

are also really impressive.

Everything at BCUIC was great. It’s a safe, secure campus and I was able to make friends easily because all the different

nationalities mixed well together. It was sweet!

JEWELLERY DESIGNERJADE ZHAO, CHINA

BA (Hons) Jewellery and Objects

I came to study here because Birmingham has the largest jewellery school in Europe.

I really enjoyed using all the industry-standard machinery in the BCUIC workshops, and the independent study gave us the

creative freedom to express our own ideas. I had no art and design knowledge at all before I came to BCUIC, but now I feel

prepared for my degree.

The tutors were nice, the campus was green, and it was easy to mix with everyone and make friends.

I’d advise new students to go to Birmingham’s galleries and exhibitions, and explore as much as you can!

After I graduate I’d like to do a Master’s degree, obtain the professional silversmithing qualifications and then open up my

own jewellery studio.

ARCHITECTMAYAR EL-SAYED, KUWAIT

BA (Hons) Architecture

BCUIC’s flexible entry requirements allowed me to access the degree I wanted to study. I felt so welcomed by staff

when I arrived, and it was easy to settle in and make friends. Everyone was new and in the same situation, so we discovered

Birmingham together!

Birmingham is similar to London but it’s more central, so it’s easier to access other places – like Oxford or Manchester.

My Foundation course at BCUIC gave me lots of creative freedom and allowed me to experiment with different media. The self-directed study also prepared me really well for my

studies at the University. Now I’ve started my first year, I feel a lot more confident than my classmates because

I’ve had a head-start at BCUIC!
