uni of birmingham clearing IR+ECON

hii i have a place at the university birmingham for international relations with economics!
super happy because its a pretty good university but also TERRIFIED because i know absolutely nothing about birmingham or the uni (i’m from manchester )😭
has anyone done/is anyone doing this course or a related one and can share info on the department for this course?? also i would love anyone from UOB sharing the experience and any tips for first year.
also is UOB generally considered a good uni? i rlly want good employability prospects so if i do extra curriculars and good grades, do i stand a chance for good jobs also potentially a masters at another good educational institution?
thanks so much i would appreciate anyone’s opinions x

Hey there @ferocious-vicar ,
Congratulations on your @University of Birmingham offer 🥳
You can sign up to access their Webinar Library which provides insights from students and academics about the university that you may be interested in. Alternatively, you can also chat with current students on their Chat With Us platform 🤭
I hope this helps ☺️

Just check out the campus tour film - its beautiful - Find your place, in a place like no other | Campus tour | University of Birmingham
And as a result of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham a few years ago, the city has fantastic sports/leisure facilities, a redeveloped shopping/restaurant area - and it has Cadburys World, so what's not to like.
