Sunday 24 November Postgraduate Open Day
There's so much going on in Birmingham – from the buzzy street markets to the unmissable transformation of the whole city and our campus. Study here and you'll be at the heart of it all. You too could be taught by our trailblazing academics and study in our innovative £400m facilities. When possible, the best way to explore what's on offer is to come and see us in person. If you're thinking of getting to us by coach, then you can get 30% off your return ticket!
Who is this for?
It’s open to everyone, but it’s definitely for you if you…
Want to explore our ultra-modern facilities and learning spaces: The best way to experience the facilities we provide is by visiting us on campus at an Open Day. We are currently undertaking a £400 million investment programme in our facilities, including a major expansion of our City Centre Campus.
Are a graduate who wants to earn more: Someone with a Master's degree or PhD earns £5,000 more per year, or £200,000 over a 40-year working life, than someone with just a degree (Graduate Labour Market Statistics 2023, Department for Education).
Want to study at a modern university in a major city: We’re at the heart of the UK’s second-largest city with a population of over 1.1 million people. Birmingham is on course to be one of the 50 most competitive cities in the world by 2025 (Economist Intelligence Unit/Citi).
Want to study a course which develops your employability: Our courses are designed to deliver practice-based learning at every stage. We provide the chance to gain industry and professional practice experience through work placements, mentoring schemes, study and work abroad through the Turing Scheme, and courses incorporating professional placement years.
Want to study at a university with a great student experience: BCU has been awarded the highest possible rating of Gold for Student Experience, and Silver overall, in the latest Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF).
What can I do?
Enjoy a tailored and personalised experience: You'll be able to attend subject-specific talks and sample lectures, as well as having the opportunity to chat with lecturers, staff and current students to get your questions answered and see if BCU's the right fit for you. There are also general talks and info for things like finance and accommodation.
Meet lecturers and staff: From handy course overview talks from the staff who would be teaching you, to Q+A sessions on the day covering subject-specific information and then more practical information, getting to meet our friendly staff and asking them your burning questions is a great way to decide on the right course for you.
Explore our facilities and take tours: From our computing labs to mock wards for Nursing students, you can find out everything you need to know about our state-of-the-art facilities at our Open Day to ensure you'll be using the industry standard, preparing you for the world of work before you even graduate. You can also check out the locations and quality of accommodation on bookable tours that happen throughout the day.
Ask our students questions: You can ask them how they picked their courses, and what made them choose BCU (or where to get the best pizza in Brum, the choice is yours!). On campus, you'll find lots of student ambassadors who can give you a great insight into student life at BCU and answer all your questions in person.
