Teaching In Schools degrees in Birmingham

The course is taught by amazing lecturers, who are kind and always there to help, however the course is not managed by the best people, and this leads to a lot of poor choices done regarding the course such as the contest which is being taught (with actual lectures, having no say in it) or for example the number of students/ level of students that are in the class. Currently the head of business has decided to add a whole class (+30) of foundation students with year 1 students (level 4) at the start of January without any warning before . This has negatively impacted level 1 students, as the content being shared is not the best, neither are the paste of lectures as the foundation student take too long to complete simple activities that year 1 students complete in minutes. Although year 1 students have expressed their feelings about this to lecturers and the head of business, the head of business refuses to split the class in 2, with excuses that there are not enough free classrooms, which is not true. Further, sad to say this, but my amazing lecturers now seem worried to bring issues up to the heads of business as they could get in trouble or fired. Very unethical and unprofessional. Will be changing universities next year

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.
