application help

hello! i’m an american who’s looking at studying abroad in england, specifically Birmingham City University, and i’ve been having a hard time finding advice and help on applying for things that aren’t ads lol. i get a bit mixed up on the application process, like i’m considering a student visa but i can’t find much on whether to apply as an international student or not. if i could get more resources or just a general on how the uni application process in the UK works it would be greatly appreciated! thank you! :^)

For all full-time undergraduate degrees in the UK you apply through a central service called UCAS (Universities and Colleges Admissions Service). Their web site (ucas.com) has all the information you could possibly want about the process, the timings, the costs, etc.

Their dedicated page for international students is here.

It'd also be with looking at the Birmingham City University web site (www.bcu.ac.uk) so see what their entry requirements are for your course, as a US applicant.

Finally, you may well be aware (but just in case you're not), Birmingham City University is not the same as the University of Birmingham (www.birmingham.ac.uk).

If you still have questions after reading through all that (you will have!), then just ask away.
