Application Process

Step one

Prepare documents for application

LOR

For the student's application, they need to provide contact details for one or two referees. Some courses, like those in the School of Education, may require references before a decision is made.
- The student should inform their referees to expect an email from the University requesting their reference.
- The referee's email must be official (e.g., from a university or organization).
- The reference should be in PDF format, on official headed paper, and include the referee’s contact details, the student’s details, and a summary of how the referee knows the student and their suitability for the course.
- The reference should be signed by the referee.
- If references are not on official headed paper, additional references may be requested.
- If the student has a written reference, it must be scanned, on official headed paper, and uploaded.
Once the student submits the application, the referees will receive an email to submit their references directly.

Step two

Additional documents required

Academic transcript(s) for all prior degrees - originals or certified copies
To complete their application, the student needs to upload a scanned copy of their academic certificate and transcript(s) for all prior degrees.
- If the student has graduated: They should upload their degree certificate(s) and transcript(s) in the portal. If they haven't done so yet, they should go back and upload them. If requested, the student may need to send original or certified copies for verification. Certified copies can be obtained from their institution, a notary, or the British Council (for students outside the UK). If the student applied through an Overseas Representative, the representative can verify their documents, so no need to send physical copies.
- If the student is currently a student: They should upload an interim transcript from their latest exams. Upon graduation, they should be ready to send their degree certificate and final transcript for verification if requested.

MSc Bioinformatics - Batch of 2027

2.1

Messy, unorganized and understaffed.

Tips: This is especially targeted towards those coming to the University of Birmingham Dubai. For PG courses, there are several communication issues. The university is understaffed, and especially in biological sciences, there are no career prospects. I wouldn't recommend anyone choosing the University of Birmingham Dubai campus.

Likes (Safety): UAE is one of the safest countries in the world. Even with regional issues, the safety is unmatched. Even at 2 or 3 am you can be outside without any issues. You can go anywhere by cab, and services are up 24/7. Being here for 20+ years, I have literally not faced any issues.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many options for conversion since early career opportunities are poor. UAE is very lucrative for senior career individuals who are here to sell a product. Pure R&D bench Science is literally accessible to early-career professionals unless they have the right contacts or are insanely skilled.

Psychology MSc - Batch of 2025

4.3

Enriching Journey at University of Birmingham

Tips: Students should be prepared for a significant amount of independent learning and time management. As an international student, it is important to participate in discussions and read academic literature. I would also recommend budgeting carefully since living expenses in the UK are considerably higher than what we expect. There was also a cultural shift in terms of independence, communication, and everyday life. Yes, I did avail myself of a scholarship during my study time there. I applied for financial aid on the university website and received it on the basis of merit. Students interested in funding should explore the university's website for funding options and scholarships. Overall I am satisfied with my experience at the UOB and living in the UK. The course provided me strong academic exposure and broader understanding of clinical and neuro practices.

Likes (Internships): I gave internships a high rating because the Careers Network at Birmingham is genuinely active and helpful. Through platforms like Handshake, you get direct access to loads of internships, summer placements, and work experience roles tailored to your degree. The uni even offers Work Experience Bursaries if you land an unpaid or low-paying internship, which makes gaining practical experience way more accessible. While specific opportunities depend on your department, the career support and industry ties across the UK are top-tier.

Dislikes (Safety): I rated 4/5 because overall I felt safe and comfortable both on campus and while living in Birmingham. The university provides several safety measures beyond the campus security. The university also provides guidance and support for students dealing with emergencies, harassment, or well-being concerns. My experience of living in Birmingham is generally positive. I found the city student-friendly with a large international student community. I appreciate being able to travel around the city using public transport. The campus itself also felt well connected to the city, which made exploring Birmingham relatively easy.

MSc in International Business - Batch of 2025

3.8

Good yet surreal feeling!

Tips: Coming from India, it is definitely a cultural shock and not very satisfying. Nonetheless, it is good to have exposure and learning to be independent. Students should research well about how to finance their studies and living expenses, where they will live and how will they travel, connect with some alumni to gain knowledge before coming but most importantly, decide whether is it really you want to come to the UK and study, whether it really aligns with your goals.

Likes (Public transportation): I lived in the city centre and I liked how convenient the buses and trains are. It is safe and good for students. I was quite close to everything necessary to live. I chose the city centre and I was right by my decision. Although it can be a bit expensive yet I stand by my decision as I was offered with everything necessary.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are few to limited on-campus part time roles which pay around 12GBP per hour. The off-campus part-time roles are hard to get in Birmingham as it is a city filled with immigrants and students. The part-times can be managed well as there is not a lot of burden of academics.

Public Health MPH - Batch of 2025

4.0

Excellent student life and high academic standards.

Tips: The MPH at Birmingham is no joke—the academic workload hits hard right from the start, so staying on top of your time management is essential. Don't expect standard sit-down exams; almost all your assessment comes down to continuous coursework, group presentations, and heavy research projects where critical analysis is key. Moving to the UK was definitely a major life shift with plenty of ups and downs, but as long as you're ready to take charge of your own learning in the library, you'll adapt quickly.

BA International Relations - Batch of 2025

4.4

A perfect mix of fun, learning and great student life

Tips: The biggest things to prepare before joining UoB are your accommodation and immigration paperwork. Don't leave housing until the last minute because student rooms around campus go quickly. Moving across was surprisingly easy though—the student-led societies and the active Indian community make settling in smooth. Definitely make use of your Personal Tutor as soon as term starts since they’re great for guidance and finding post-enrollment awards. If you're aiming for the initial entry scholarship, keep in mind you need top-tier grades (it was 90%+ for my intake). The Guild of Students is really the backbone of campus life here—they run fun events, offer part-time work, and provide solid support if you're ever struggling academically or feeling homesick.
