I haven't heard anything from birmingham either.. but my school says usually international students are given interviews during the january to march period. not sure..

My friend, another international student from Singapore also applied to Birmingham last year. He was invited to UK for an interview in the begining of January. He was made an unconditional offer 3 weeks later. The interview was very casual unlike those `interrogation sessions' conducted by NUS. The interviewers were very friendly, especially Professor Chris Lote. They really make you at ease. Do not worry too much about the interview. You will be there once they invite you over. I accompanied my friend to the U and find UoB to be a fantastic campus university. Go for it and best of luck.

Daffodils, Where are you from. You could request Birmingham for an interview since you are going to be in UK. The staff there are very accomodating and am sure they would help you. Best of luck!

Hi guys,

Another Canadian here - if you don't mind me asking, where in Canada are you from TheHighRoad?

**TheHighRoad** · 05-03-2009, 08:42 AM

Hey TheHighRoad I'm from Calgary I was wondering what qualifications you had since Birmingham doesn't look at Alberta Diploma. Did you do Biology HL IB?

Birmingham accepted regular Alberta Diploma for me? I took regular 30 level courses and it went just fine. I'm from Fort McMurray and IB is not offered within our city.
