WELCOME AND INDUCTION

Every September, our ‘Welcome Week’ starts before lectures begin and includes a special induction programme to guide students through their initial tasks, introducing them to their programme, University systems and processes and a variety of social activities to help them settle in and meet new friends.

CAREERS AND EMPLOYABILITY

At the University of Birmingham Dubai, our careers services are committed to helping students develop their professional competencies and soft skills. Negotiation, creative approaches to decision-making and problem-solving are all skills that will be developed during their studies.

Students will have access to a wide range of dedicated support, helping them to achieve their professional goals. These include:

  • Coaching workshops and online tutorials to help students present themselves effectively to their employers, develop creative problem-solving skills and also tips on influencing and persuading for professional success
  • Practical help with preparing for interviews, presentations and pitching
  • Opportunities to network with alumni mentors

WELLBEING SUPPORT

Students are supported by a personal tutor and a dedicated student wellbeing officer at all levels of study. We also provide specialist support through our Edgbaston campus, where students can access additional services like counselling and mental health support.

Birmingham has a range of services available to support students with disabilities and learning difficulties throughout their studies. We recommend students tell us about their needs as soon as possible so that the Disability and Learning Support Service can implement any support required.
