Birmingham City University International College (BCUIC) offers a range of dedicated pathway programmes with additional academic support to help prepare you for a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree at Birmingham City University.
BCUIC is a good choice for you if you don’t meet the academic or English language requirements to go straight onto one of our courses, or if you have been away from education for some time and want to improve your skills.
Depending on your current academic level and your chosen degree programme, you can enrol onto a one, two or three-semester pathway programme with BCUIC at either foundation level, first-year level or pre-master's level.
