Nigeria

For Nigerians living in Birmingham, you will be welcomed to a friendly, multicultural city where you will feel very much at home – Birmingham has lots to offer, including two major Nigerian food stores and several Nigerian restaurants.

We have many places of worship in Birmingham, including churches and mosques, and an active African Students Society through our Students’ Union.

Nigerian music is popular in Birmingham, there are many venues where you can listen to your favourite Nigerian artists. We have many entertaining places to go out, including StarCity, a 25-screen cinema, a bowling alley and places to eat.

We are actively engaged with Nigeria and visit your country often. Our academics, International Regional Manager, and International Recruitment Officers conduct student interviews at our agents’ offices in Abuja, Lagos and Ibadan. We look forward to welcoming many Nigerian students to Birmingham every year.

What our students say...

Anu Yusuf
LLB (Hons) Law

“I always dreamed of studying in the UK since my childhood…I have already learned and achieved so much in this country. I simply love my University. With loads of opportunities and facilities, being at university has helped me to develop as an individual. I feel proud of my achievements and to be part of Birmingham City University.”

Ogu-Jude Munachiso
LLB (Hons) Law

“I love everything about Birmingham City University, I can’t simply point my finger at one thing. I work in the International Office as a Conversion Officer through the University’s student employment programme, and I’ve done this for two years alongside my Law study. My advice to students is to take advantage of the opportunities within the University.”

Adamu Magaji
MSc Telecommunications

“As a professional telecommunication engineer, I saw the need to develop my career further with a Master’s degree. I decided to study at Birmingham City University because it happens to be among the leading Universities in the field of Telecommunication Engineering and Information Technology, and records show that graduates of the University excel in their professional careers. I found the course very interactive and insightful. With dedication, commitment and support from the staff at the University, I graduated with distinction. The University enhanced my professional career and future aspirations…it has truly been a pleasure and a privilege to have successfully learnt at this remarkable institution.”

Muhammad Sagir Usman
BSc (Hons) CBeST Computing with Network Technology

“I heard that Birmingham City University had an outstanding reputation, particularly with the international student community. I enjoyed my lectures and group discussions, and I also found the University a very welcoming place, and I made many new friends during the course. I thought that the accommodation offered by the University was more than suitable due to their proximity to bus stops, the shops, the GP and the hospital. I saw that Birmingham overall is an incredibly vibrant multicultural city and better than other cities in the UK! I always recommend Birmingham City University to students wishing to go to the UK for studies, and six of them have listened to my advice!”
