International Business Studies degrees in West Midlands

Great location, lectures are very supportive and approachable in my course. Great facilities. Difficulty accessing prayer facilities as its located in top floor without access to elevators. More study spaces needed as they get booked out often.

Amazing teachers can't fault them in providing really great workshops and support. However, the admin side of things is awful the uni seem quite incompetent in this area considering they are providers of law courses it is particularly a bad look. In the exams this January alone there were 2 mistakes in the SBAQ which they noticed us about after receiving results. There was difficulty in accessing the online exam as they had not properly sorted the tech side of one assessment module. Lastly, throughout the entire year there have been many many emails from the uni correcting errors in the course content wise. It makes you feel that you are dealing with a corporate body with no knowledge of running a university and ensuring proper checks are in place.

The best aspects of university include opportunities for intellectual growth and exploration. There’s access to a range of diverse resources to engage in hands on research and practical experiences to enhance my career prospects. Social life is rich and is definitely one of the best things about uni! I have met people from various backgrounds and cultures which had helped me broaden my perspective and increase my confidence. The worst aspects of uni life is probably something that is not often mentioned - the competitive nature of university which sometimes makes me feel inadequate and have a little imposter syndrome, especially as I sometimes have financial and environmental constraints which cause me to not have an equal chance at achieving my potential.

Birmingham is a beautiful location and the campus is in a lush, green area in the heart of Edgbaston. The campus has lots of study spaces (which was a selling point for me), such as the 24/7 library. There are also plenty of facilities on campus, ranging from its own university merch shop and plenty of places to get food and drink (e.g. Starbucks, Costa, library cafe). It also has its own train station which has been newly renovated, which makes it so convenient to travel to placements or into the city centre with friends. The university is always acting upon student feedback which is good to see, and generally I think lots of students feel well supported by the university and know where to get help from if needed. In terms of improvement, there could be better lighting along the walking pathways surrounding the university (e.g. along the way to Pritchatts Park). Perhaps there could be more facilities within the buildings themselves, such as more microwaves. However, they are only minor improvements.

I love the welcoming atmosphere and the thought and effort that has been put into making Staffs a great place for both local and international students. I just wish there was a bit more to the facilities, such as more updated books in their libraries, gluten free options on campus, or a gym on campus. Otherwise, I'm pretty pleased with it :)

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

I have loved all the activities and modules on my course. The set up and running of things across campus and the whole University is really great and well organised with plenty of opportunities for people. I do wish that there was more advertising about different events, societies and clubs though. These can be hard to find/get into unless you are specifically looking for something. There are probably loads of people who would do more activities if they knew they existed
