You’ll also get to experience life in two of the UK’s most exciting major cities, studying your IYO at Kaplan International College London in the UK capital, before moving to Birmingham for your degree studies.

The University of Birmingham
The University of Birmingham is a red brick university and Russell Group member with an excellent global reputation. You’ll study on a beautiful 250-acre campus with high-quality modern facilities, and benefit from the University’s expert teaching.
You’ll also have access to the University’s fantastic Careers Network. This service can help you to find a work experience placement or volunteering opportunity in the UK or overseas, and can assist you with funding as well.
You’ll also benefit from workshops and presentations covering topics such as CV writing and interviews, as well as one-to-one advice tailored to your specific career goals.
This service doesn’t finish when your degree does either — you can continue to access careers advice and job opportunities through the University after you graduate and many Birmingham graduates return to advise current students through the mentoring programme.
All of this explains why Birmingham is the UK’s 3rd most targeted university by graduate employers (High Fliers 2023) and ensures that you’ll graduate with a bright future ahead of you.
