Dear Partner,

As the January 2026 intake comes to a close, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your invaluable support. With the intake now closed, our dedicated teams will be working and supporting applicants who did not receive their CAS through our deferral process.

We are delighted and looking forward to welcoming over 1,000 students to our campus this intake, many already having taken part in the welcome and induction programme.

However, it is important to remind other students who have not yet arrived that teaching has started and they must arrive in the UK to complete their enrolment and start to attend their classes. Failure to do so may result in their CAS and/or visa being cancelled.

New Postgraduate scholarship

We are delighted to confirm a £3,000 scholarship for our full-time Postgraduate Taught students starting in September 2026 to kick start their BCU journey.

First-class for sustainability

We're proud to announce that Birmingham City University has been named as a leading university in the People and Planet University League 2025, ranking in 12th place and 1st in Birmingham.

Professor David Mba appointed to OfS

Vice-Chancellor Professor David Mba has been appointed to the Office for Students’ newly established Provider Panel, which will help shape the future of higher education regulation in England.
