International

Birmingham School of Art is home to students from the UK, China, Taiwan, India, Malaysia, Africa, the Middle East and Europe to mention a few.

We believe our international students make an amazing contribution to the cultural diversity of our city and courses by sharing their own unique cultural perspectives. 

Birmingham is home to one of the UK’s largest international student population. You will be welcomed to a city famed for its cosmopolitan and multicultural reputation, with magnificent rural and historical landscapes on its outskirts.

In addition to its own international airport, Birmingham has excellent road and rail links to other major UK airports, making the city easily accessible from anywhere in the world.
