I wish you a warm welcome to the Birmingham College and hope that you will have an enjoyable and enriching experience as a student here. Coming to study in the UK is an exciting experience, with opportunities to broaden your academic, social and cultural horizons. It can also be a challenging experience, especially when making arrangements to leave your country, and when you arrive here and start adjusting to a new way of living and studying. Students who are well prepared for this experience usually find it easier to settle in once they get here.

The International Student Handbook is designed to answer some of the many questions you are likely to have as you prepare for your studies. It will also serve as an important reference tool throughout your stay in Birmingham, so please bring it with you.

At the Birmingham College, we aim to give you a high level of support to ensure that your time here will be as rewarding and problem-free as possible. I'm sure you will have a satisfying time with us. If you have any questions or concerns about coming to study at Birmingham, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you when you arrive.
