Pioneering course development, access to quality teaching and contemporary research; see how online study at the University of Birmingham can help you redefine your future.

The University of Birmingham is a truly international university, reflected by our diverse international student body and the fact that nearly a third of our academic staff originate from overseas. Studying with us will introduce you to diverse theories and ideas whilst creating global networking opportunities.

By choosing to study online with the University of Birmingham you are opening up new opportunities to develop professionally and grow the confidence to make important things happen.

I have always viewed the world as 'the more education you have then more opportunities that are available'. The advancement in online learning helped open up the door for me to accomplish my long held goal of getting masters degree. The online courses have advanced greatly in both their curriculum and acceptance in the marketplace. With my job and career path I travel for work almost on a weekly basis and could not be successful with a part time course in person. I would simply miss too many classes. Online was the only option that would work for me outside of quitting my job to become a full time student.
