Apply direct
If you are considering only applying to us, there are lots of reasons why applying direct is the best option*:
- No fees – we will submit your application to UCAS on your behalf
- No need for a personal statement
(*You can apply direct if you have not applied through UCAS this year and only wish to apply to University College Birmingham)
