The campus is in a great location in the city centre and is easily accessible. Staff are supportive and facilities are a good standard. On average lectures are informative and engaging. They can be more organised, however, and bigger class sizes can make sessions difficult.

The nursing team are massively supportive and always point us in the right direction of teams and other departments to contact if we have any worries. The one improvement I think should be implemented is more communal space for lunch breaks etc.

UCB has been a blessing during my studies. I have a diagnosis of bipolar which can make studying a degree somewhat difficult. The support that UCB offers and has given me is outstanding. I can honestly say that had I not chosen this university, I would most likely not have made it this far.

This university is truly the best when it comes to supporting its students. They consistently encourage us to become the best versions of ourselves, both inside and outside the classroom. Whenever I’ve had questions or concerns about placements, the staff and tutors have been there every step of the way. I’ve never felt alone or left to handle challenges by myself. Their email responses are impressively quick, which makes communication so much easier and less stressful. They don’t just support me academically, they genuinely care about my mental wellbeing too. From offering guidance and reassurance to checking in on my progress, they make sure every student feels valued, supported, and confident in their journey.

I have a learning disability, and UCB have supported me enormously. They’ve helped me grow both academically and personally, offering guidance with assignments, placements, and my own wellbeing. The nursing team have been fantastic, and the disability and wellbeing support has truly been exceptional — their help has genuinely prevented me from reaching a really low point. The nursing staff are lovely, and they genuinely care about our wellbeing. I’m proud to be a UCB student. The only improvement I would suggest is the afternoon sessions in the skills suite. The environment can become overwhelming for me, which makes it difficult to get the full learning experience.
