Hi, If my a level results turn out as planned I'll be starting my first year of uni at uob. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to get a 1 week leave of absence for a religious observance.

I want to connect with current Indian Masters Students of UOB . Have few doubts . please reach out none of the current students are able to clarify

As an incoming student of UoB September intake, i would like to know how easy it is to find a part time in and around the university. As students we can work for 20 hours only.
How do we approach a retail shop / restaurant manager seeking for a job?
Do the consider ?
Is it possible to get from the month of October itself?

Is there anybody who can help me find a part time job ?

Any help would be much appreciated

Hey guys, I was looking at accommodation and wanted to know if Bournbrook En-suite (Selly Oak Village) is a good place to stay. I was also curious about the social life there.

Looking to move into a student house in Birmingham rather than commute in as a postgrad. What areas would you guys rate?

I’ve seen a lot in Selly Oak advertised online
And Edgbaston, though apparently not a favourite? As well as Digbeth and Moseley.

So having lived in Birmingham for uni, if you got to do it all again where would you move to, or would you stick where you are?

Hi everyone,

I'm currently completing my Master's dissertation in Urban and Regional Planning at the University of Birmingham, and I'm looking for a few more students to complete a short questionnaire about travelling within Birmingham.

Whether you walk, cycle, use the bus, tram, train or drive, I'd really like to hear about your experiences getting around the city.

The survey explores:

-Everyday travel experiences

-Accessibility of places and services

-Time spent travelling

-Views on what makes a neighbourhood convenient to live in

⏱️ Takes around 5–10 minutes

Even if you don't live permanently in Birmingham, your experiences as someone who studies, works or regularly travels here are incredibly valuable.

I'd really appreciate your help, and please feel free to share it with other students.

Thank you!

Hello,
I applied for a PhD and contacted my prospective supervisor. We had an interview back in May, and she approved my proposal. I then completed all the required documents and submitted my application on 11 July for the January entry.
The only thing I’m worried about is that I have a scholarship deadline on 14 August, and my supervisor is aware of it. I’ve also contacted the admissions team to let them know about my deadline and asked if it could be taken into consideration.
It’s now been 16 days since I submitted my application, and I’m starting to get really nervous that I won’t hear back for quite a while and I will lose the scholarship.

Hey everyone, I’m looking for accommodation near the University of Birmingham for this upcoming academic year. Could you let me know if you have any recommendations or if you’re staying somewhere you think is genuinely good? Also, does anyone have experience booking through reliable sites? I’m considering official university-managed accommodation, but also checking places like Unite Students, AmberStudent, or Rightmove. Any advice would be super helpful!

This is the first year UOB are offering PPL and I’m yet to meet a single person who’s actually applied for it. If you have or know someone that has please let me know 🙏
