What students say about youth-work

Best experiences are working within the kitchens amongst other culinary driven peers. The student support is good too. Things that could be better are the resources provided for culinary students as it seems to be a reoccurring issue where the isn’t enough produce to make a dish and this can be understandable at times however in order to work to the best possible ability we need the best resources and quantity too.

What students say about youth-work

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 youth-work

I attended this university for my undergraduate degree over a decade ago, and I cherished my experience then just as much as I do now. Currently, I find myself in a different phase of life as a mature student with a young family. Nevertheless, I believe that the student experience and facilities continue to meet my needs, even as they differ from those I had during my undergraduate studies. Across all campuses, the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment is clean and well-maintained, fostering a strong sense of pride among both students and staff. Overall, the university feels safe and inclusive. I wouldn't say there is a worst aspect of my university experience, as I feel it meets my expectations at this stage in my career and life.

What students say about youth-work

I think the fact that it is in the heart of Birmingham is great and the diversity is also nice. As a Pakistani woman I feel really at home. Despite this I do feel like there are some students who shouldn’t have been let in due to their lack of passion for the subject. Furthermore I feel as though some teachers do the bare minimum in teaching their subjects and there is a lack of passion as well as a lack of knowledge in certain subjects.

What students say about youth-work

The university is a great place to study because of the strong academic support, inclusive campus culture, and wide range of opportunities available to students. There are excellent learning resources, tailored academic support services, and an active student community supported by a vibrant campus and a lively city environment. The commitment to widening participation, student engagement, and wellbeing creates an environment where students feel supported and encouraged to succeed. To improve further, there could be more targeted support and events for commuting students, as well as greater visibility and celebration of key cultural and social events to ensure all students feel represented and included. Building on these areas would help strengthen an already positive and diverse student experience.
