Romania
Every year we welcome students from Romania and maintain excellent contacts with our graduates living and working in the country.
We have our own Romanian Society, via the Students’ Union, which celebrates special occasions on the Romanian calendar, offers guidance and helps connect Romanians studying at our campuses by arranging cultural trips and social events.
It's a particularly exciting time to become a student at Birmingham City University.

What our students say...

Robert Bizbac
MA Fashion Design
“Throughout this year of studying fashion design at BCU, I enjoyed the freedom to develop my own concepts and explore my creativity. As well as developing these ideas and experimenting with them I have been fortunate to have a variety of facilities available for my use, including photo studios, laser-cutting workshops and even 3D printing, which have broadened my knowledge.”
