Living in Birmingham as a student

Birmingham is home to not one, not two, but three major Universities: the University of Birmingham, Birmingham City University and Aston University. It is also home to two university colleges as well, namely University College Birmingham and Newman University. This means that it has the second-highest student population in the UK – coming a very close runner up to London.

The University of Birmingham is a Russell Group University offering a wide range of courses for all levels of study. With over 300 undergraduate courses, 600 postgraduate taught courses, 150 Postgraduate research courses and a distance learning offering as well there is sure to be something that catches your eye. Birmingham City University is ranked 6th in the UK for employability of graduates, with 97% of their students being employed or in further study within 6 months of leaving – so you know attending here is worth the cost. Their Student Union also has a wide range of diverse and exciting entertainment on offer for those times when you want a rest from studying.

Student life at Aston University is similar to that you would find at any University in a large town, with a thriving global multicultural community. It was recently awarded Gold, the highest possible accolade, in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) because many of the students attending achieved consistently high outcomes. <br> We know that student life is not all about studying though and if you do choose to go to one of Birmingham’s illustrious places of higher education you will also get access to a wide range of amenities in the local area as well. In fact, there is so much to see and do in Birmingham, it is hard to know where to start! From amazing attractions such as Cadbury World to awesome shopping experiences at the Bullring, and even delicious dining in the world-famous Balti triangle.

As for nightlife, Birmingham’s pubs and clubs are some of the finest in the country. There really is something for everyone, from crafty independent bars to swanky cocktail bars and everything in between. Some of our favourite areas include Brindleyplace, Southside, Digbeth and the Jewellery Quarter.
