How does the University of Birmingham Offer Holder Conference work, and what scholarships can MSc students access through it?
Birmingham does not run one generic Offer Holder Conference; instead MSc offer holders get a dedicated online Offer-Holder Hub plus department-specific Discovery Days. Your offer unlocks scholarships like the Postgraduate High Fliers award worth 5,000 pounds or the Future Skills Scholarship worth up to 12,500 pounds.
Your University of Birmingham MSc offer gives you access to a dedicated online Postgraduate Offer-Holder Hub rather than a single generic conference, and depending on your department you may also be invited to on-campus Discovery Days with faculty meetings and campus tours. This offer also unlocks your student ID number, which you need to apply for the university's competitive postgraduate scholarships.

How the Offer-Holder Process Works
- Once you receive your MSc offer, you get exclusive access to your department's Offer-Holder Hub
- The hub walks you through your conditional or unconditional offer status, deposit requirements, and accommodation applications
- Some departments also invite you to on-campus visit days with subject presentations and lab tours
- Scholarships are not automatic; you must actively apply through the Funding and Scholarships section of the hub or the postgraduate funding database
My Advice
Log into your Offer-Holder Hub as soon as your offer arrives and check the Funding and Scholarships section immediately, since several of these awards, especially the Future Skills Scholarship, are only open to specific courses and fee statuses. Also check your specific school's page, since departments like Birmingham Business School run additional awards worth over 2 million pounds combined.
