Marketing degrees in Birmingham

Firstly the university environment is so neat and quiet everytime to study. Great facilities has been provided by the university to make our studying easy and less hard and by also providing us with a support System called CASE to help us out in any difficulties in our studies

I enjoy studying at Newman as it’s a welcoming environment and inclusive to all types of people no matter where they come from or who they are. However some of the staff are rude and don’t treat you as adults

Best is for sure location and teaching. So central so have access to all the main parts of the city. Plus teaching standard is good, can feel it when comparing the same degree with other universities (always feel more well rounded). Worst is the campus and SU. Just feels small and lacks integration with the students. Feel like you attend classes in the city, not that you are part of a university

The best aspects of the university are certainly the staff, both academic and support. The lecturers are all very knowledgeable, engaging and dedicated. They make themselves available to answer student’s questions and support student life by attending society events. The University also offers fantastic support services such as Employability. They offer a huge range of events, with opportunities to hear from professionals and network with them. Their staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. One aspect I would like to see improved at the University is in administration, particularly the Student’s Union. As somebody who runs a society it has been very difficult at times to organise events and it’s a shame because this has detrimentally affected an important part of university life. I understand this department is going through a transitionary period and so there is hope that things will improve going forward. That’s not to say all my experiences have been bad. There are many helpful and understanding staff in admin roles and in the SU but some problems have been inexplicably difficult to resolve. It isn’t always clear who to contact for certain issues and this leads to massive delays and missing out on some basic offerings. Some issues really should’ve been solved but persist for many months. I hope the changes to the SU will bring positive results in the future. It isn’t all bad but it certainly has been an issue at the University for some time and so it has to be raised.

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.

I think that the best part of the university is the availability of software and equipment, especially for my course since a lot of software and equipment are needed that could range from a price on hundreds to thousands. However, this could be improved because there are still some software and equipment that aren’t available yet or that aren’t the latest versions/models which could help on improving my coursework performance.
