Posted on 4:15 PM by Izzuddin Yussof

Welcome to the University of Birmingham, a redbrick university located in the central of England.and just 15 minutes by bus or train from the second largest city in England- the Birmingham City.

The main campus is the Selly Oak campus where most of Malaysian students studies. Selly oak campus was surrounded by a housing area which are dominated by the students.

There's not a need for so much of an introduction...As you would have known, The University of Birmingham is not only famous in UK but also well-known worldwide.

Founded in 1900,ranked 59th in the QS World University Ranking 2010,placing Birmingham 10th in the UK,which provides you with all the things that you need in your studies..

Facilities

Just like the other places,at Birmingham,you will be able to use all the facilities provided in the university such as:
-Library
-Sport Centre
-Playfield
-Computer Lab
-And much-much more.....

And the most important is,we have a very nice prayer room located at the centre of student attraction..So you don't have to worry about going to miss your daily ""Dhuha"" prayer since it would only take you about 5minutes walk from your lecture hall to the prayer room InsyaAllah.. =)

Course

Students here take the critical courses such as Sciences(Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Biotech, etc)
Engineering(Chemical,Mechanical etc)

Accommodation

Basically,if you are a 1st year student,you are entitled to apply for a student accomodation provided by the university which are

-Affordable in price(£90-£1++ per week)
-Located very strategic in the campus(few of them-5minutes walk to the university,most of them-20 minutes and above walk to the university)
-and much-much more...

HOWEVER..
There are also private houses near the campus which are
-much cheaper than university accomodation!(£50-£7+ per week)
-strategic(near to mosque,restaurant etc)
-etc..

so,which accommodation type is better?
it's up to you to decide :)

In the recent past years, almost 75% of Malaysian students lived in private houses..
If you are planning to live in privates houses,do contact us as soon as possible so that we could help you to arrange your accomodation InsyaAllah..

Life as a Muslim

Just one sentence would suffice; living here in the UK makes us appreciate and know more about Islam..

Halal Food


In Birmingham, you dont have to worry about halal food. There is more than FIVE HALAL restaurant along Bristol Road which is about 2 minutes from the entrance of the university.

The price is a lot CHEAPER compared to other places. You have A LOT OF CHOICES which you do not have in other places. There is a chinese restaurant offering halal chineses food, an indian restaurant which provide a variety of halal indian cuisines and even a restaurant that offers MALAYSIA FOOD. Wow, isn it?

If you want to taste some fast food, you can choose either Pizza, Kebab or Burgers from a number of HALAL fast food restaurants here such as Pizza Land, Rooster and Adam's Place. The price? Spend £3 pound and you will get A MEAL SET!

Otherwise, you can cook by yourself if you want to. The groceries can be bought from Coventry Road, a residential area dominated by muslims. It was just 20 minutes by bus from Selly Oak. There is a supermarket named 'HALAL' supermarkert where you will found out that ALL the items sell is HALAL!!

Some of the groceries such as chilli sauce, instant mee, vegetables and eggs can be found at the nearby shop such as Aldi supermarket and Seoul Plaza (both are 5 minutes from university).

In short, you wont be hungry or loss weight here. Indeed, you will grow fat if you did not control your appetite because all the restaurants mentioned above serve a TRIPLE YUMMY foods~~~~

Plus,we got Banana Leaf,.
Erm,what is that?
