After launching the partnership earlier this year, Swansea University and QA Higher Education are now extending their collaboration to Birmingham. From January 2026, students will be able to study Swansea University’s world-class programmes at QA Higher Education’s centrally located Birmingham campus.

This marks the next step in a long-term strategic partnership to make high-quality, flexible higher education more accessible to students in the UK’s most connected city centre locations. As in London, the Birmingham offering will be tailored to meet the needs of students balancing work, family, and other commitments. This will be supported by flexible delivery modes, including evening and weekend classes as well as blended learning options.

The Birmingham campus is situated in the heart of the city, just a short walk from Birmingham New Street train station and the Bullring, one of the UK’s largest shopping destinations. The location offers excellent transport links, a vibrant student environment, and access to the city’s rich cultural and professional opportunities.

Students will benefit from a supportive and student-centred learning environment, complete with dedicated quiet study areas, an on-site library, fully equipped computer suites, and inviting breakout spaces for collaboration and relaxation. The close-knit academic community and tailored learning support ensure that students have everything they need to thrive.

The initial course offering in Birmingham will include Swansea University’s MSc Computer Science and MSc International Business programmes, both aligned with growing regional and national demand in their respective sectors. Labour market data from QA Higher Education’s Market Insights team highlights significant growth in computer science-related employment, underlining the importance of delivering industry-relevant education in high-demand fields.
