Postgraduate Campus Tours

If you are interested in postgraduate study at Birmingham, you have the opportunity to visit our beautiful campus in Edgbaston and attend one of our Postgraduate Campus Tours.
Booking a campus tour
If you can't make it along to a full open day, then a campus tour is an alternative way to explore our beautiful campus.
Campus tours for visitors interested in postgraduate study will take place at 11.30am and 2.30pm on the following dates:
- Wednesday 30 July 2025
- Wednesday 27 August 2025
The tours will be lead by current postgraduate taught and research students currently studying at the University. The tours are designed to give a general overview of the campus, and also include internal tours of the library and sports facilities. The tour lasts approximately 45 minutes. Tours are not subject-specific but our ambassadors are experienced in handling questions about life on campus and studying at the University more broadly.
You will also have the opportunity to have a chat with the postgraduate recruitment team after the tour to ask any questions you might have regarding postgraduate study at the University of Birmingham.
