After you apply
Applicant Visit Days
We hold a series of Applicant Visit Days* for you to find out more about the University and the undergraduate course you have applied for.
This will give you the perfect opportunity to meet staff and students and view our excellent facilities, whilst gaining a better appreciation of what it’s like to study here. A personal invitation will be sent to you, together with information about your course.
We hope the experience will leave you with a positive and lasting impression of the University and allow you to make an informed decision about your future and studying with us.
Applicant Visit Days are usually held between December and April.
*Please note that Application Visit Days do not apply to Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham School of Acting and Birmingham School of Media courses.
Offers of a place
If you accept a conditional offer, we will confirm your place on the course once you have met those conditions. Sometimes, even if you don’t achieve the required grades of the offer, it may still be possible to reserve a place on the course.
If you receive an offer of a place without being invited for interview, you may wish to visit the University to discuss your application and see our facilities before deciding whether to accept the offer. Our Open Days provide an opportunity for this, or you can arrange an individual visit through the faculty.
If you’re not accepted on your chosen course, or your place is not confirmed after we’ve received your results, you may find an alternative place through Clearing.
Deferred entry
If you’re thinking about taking a year out before coming to the University, we will be happy to consider your application for deferred entry, particularly if you plan to use the time constructively.
