If you're just starting to research universities, missed our June Open Day, or can't attend one of our main Open Days, our Biosciences Information Day is a great opportunity to discover what it's like to study at the University of Birmingham.
Designed for students interested in the life sciences, this event offers an early introduction to Biosciences at Birmingham. You'll have the opportunity to explore our campus, meet academics and current students, and discover how our research-led courses prepare you to tackle global challenges in human health, environmental sustainability and food security.
If you're able to attend one of our full Open Days on 10 October or 14 November, we encourage you to do so, as these events include the full programme of subject talks, exhibitions and student experiences. Our Information Day is the perfect first step if you're beginning your university journey or are unable to attend an Open Day.
