I AM BCU: Postgraduate tell your story

Our I AM BCU campaign aims to give future students a sense of why they might want to study at Birmingham City University by sharing real stories about real students.

We spoke to lots of students before deciding to launch the campaign and they told us how, for them, I AM BCU says something about pride, belonging, confidence and being at the heart of the city.

Would you like to tell your story about your journey to get to BCU? Just complete this questionnaire and our team will be in touch!
