What students say about chemistry

Honestly, this area is very safe and tranquil in comparison to the rest of Birmingham, I really feel like it allows me to focus on my studies here more. However sometimes I feel as though lecturers don’t even know what they are doing, sometimes I feel like they are just straight up reading the PowerPoint. I do make the time outside of school to learn more.

What students say about chemistry

BCU is a good place to study because the lecturers are supportive, the teaching is clear, and the facilities in Seacole/Harborne are really built for healthcare students. The campus feels safe and organised, and there’s a good atmosphere for learning. The only thing that could improve is getting timetable info a bit earlier, but overall it’s a solid uni experience.

What students say about chemistry

Everything about UoB is great! Especially being an international student, UoB has provided me with a sense of warmth and welcoming and has created an environment that feels like a home away from home. The exposure we have as university students to the field of careers is amazing. And the university also has an amazing careers connect team that provide one-to-one support from mock interviews to CV reviews. The academic faculty is filled with professors who are experts in their chosen fields.

What students say about chemistry

The supervisors, Phd office, students and the university itself have been wonderfully supportive. It is easy to criticise minor issues or those beyond the universities control, but overall it is just a great place to be and study. The Students Union could improve the way it deals with people as I did not find them particularly supportive, but then maybe I caught them on a bad day. I will still give them 4 stars since they mean well.

What students say about chemistry

Best experience has to be Keele hall it’s beautiful in all seasons to go to especially in summer there’s no other uni that can offer that For nursing the teaching facilities are great theirs no other facilities you would need to study The student union are always their with support so you will never feel on your own Worst probably the night life just wish their was less nights out but better produced maybe that would attract more people Also I have seen the graduations that take place in January and their not as well produced as the summer ones which is a shame makes us feel a little bit under appreciated
