What students say about materials-science

Best aspects: Huge campus, incredible sport facilities, lots of study spaces and access to computers and technology. Great transport links. Lots of cafes and restaurants, everything you need is close by. The university is very supportive. Worst: nightlife is not that good and the student union could be improved. This could be done by more bars, clubs and third party social spaces for people to hang out. Travelling to other areas in the midlands is easy, but if you live outside of this area (except for London) it is difficult and expensive to travel to and from home. Gendered ration is unequal meaning there are a lot more men than women.

What students say about materials-science

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

What students say about materials-science

University of Birmingham is located in an excellent location with good transport links to the whole of the UK. It supports an array of state of the art facilities in a campus which feels like home. Home to the Commonwealth Games 2022, the sports facilities are fantastic, and the campus is only a short bus ride from Edgbaston cricket grounds. We even have an art gallery and archeology museum! Selly Oak nearby has everything you could ask for as a student, including Circo! Student services provide great well being support, providing free counselling services and also an anonymous platform to discuss concerns at any time. The guild supports some of the biggest and best societies in the UK and you'll certainly find something that intrigues you! The only thing that feels lacking at times is the teaching and the engagement of lecturers with the cohort. Courses are still taught to the highest academic level, but the student experience could be greatly improved by greater co-operation with students. There is also little opportunity for research studentships etc at the University, and this is something you may have to look beyond for.
