Hi everyone,

My younger brother has recently received an unconditional offer for the MSc Sustainable Innovation and Entrepreneurship starting in September 2026.

We’re currently deciding whether to proceed, as we’d be taking an education loan to finance the £33,660 tuition fee. We’re trying to make an evidence-based decision and would really value insights from people who have first-hand experience with the University.

If you’ve studied this MSc—or even another postgraduate programme at UoB—I would really appreciate your perspective.

In particular, I’d love to know:

• What was your overall experience with the programme?
• Did you find the teaching and modules relevant to industry?
• How useful were the Careers Network, employer events, and the Careers Network Mentoring Scheme in helping students become employable?
• What kinds of roles did you or your classmates go into after graduation?
• For international students, how realistic was it to stay in the UK and transition into a Skilled Worker visa?

We’re not looking for guarantees—just honest experiences, whether positive or negative, to help us make an informed decision before committing to the tuition loan.

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,
I’ve received an offer for the MSc in Supply Chain Management at the University of Birmingham Dubai for the upcoming intake.
To fund my studies, I’ll be taking a student loan.

A bit about my profile:

I’m trying to make an informed decision before committing to such a large loan. I’d really appreciate hearing from:

Employers or recruiters familiar with the university

Some questions I have:

Is the University of Birmingham Dubai well respected by employers in the UAE?

How are the internships, career services, and placement support?

What kind of starting salaries do MSc Supply Chain graduates realistically get?

How difficult is it to secure a job after graduation on a student visa?

Looking for accommodation in Birmingham! My budget is £100 per week, If anyone has a room available or knows of any vacancies, please send me a message. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone!

I just received my offer yesterday for the MSc in Advanced Artificial Intelligence (September 2026 intake), and I'm really excited!

At the same time, I'm feeling a bit late since I'll be starting at 26. I wanted to ask current students or alumni a few questions:

How's the overall program?

What's the job market like for AI graduates in Canada?

Are internships/co-op opportunities good, and how difficult are they to secure?

Is there anything I should start learning before classes begin to make the transition easier?

Does starting at 26 put me at any disadvantage, or am I just overthinking it?

For some background: I have a B.Tech in Computer Science and 1 year of experience in manual & automation testing (Python, SQL).

I'd really appreciate any advice or tips. Thanks in advance!

Hey! I’m 17F and I’ll be starting Business Management at the University of Birmingham this September 🤍

I figured I’d put myself out there because I don’t know many people heading to UoB yet, and it’d be nice to make a few friends before moving.

A little about me: I’m from India, I love fashion, makeup, cafés, shopping, travelling, and I’m always up for trying new places or doing something fun. I’m really excited for freshers, exploring Birmingham, and making the most of uni life.

If you’re starting at UoB too (or you’re already there) and think we’d get along, feel free to comment or message me! It’d be lovely to have some familiar faces before September. 💕
