The friendly staff in BCU and the Conservatoire have made me feel very welcomed, and it feels easy to get support when I am struggling. The worst experience? I have not had one yet!

My course is taught in-person, with a mixture of hours every week due to my principal study timetable. I have to self-allocate my hours with tutors, so my contact with them is just how I want it to be! I can contact mt tutors any time during the weekdays via e-mail, or message.

There were many power issues during my first semester, causing full power loss for up to 3 days and resulting in alternative accommodation. We only have one working oven in our kitchen too, which will hopefully be resolved soon. The staff are very friendly, however, and always add some flair to your typical day!

Very very intense work but the best experience ever!!! I am having so much fun and meeting so many interesting and driven people. It is a true pleasure to be here

There is a brand new building which an extensive amount of facilities for all types of musicians.

Very good and helpful

There is an average amount of representation for the conservatoire. However we are pushing for a clearer and more independent form of representation for the conservatoire although it is linked to BCU.

Yes it is close to a number of small shops which are perfect for food shopping and for most of the needs of a student.

There are many societies and sports. However as a music students I have to be careful of the number of contact sports that I am playing!

I like the way in which you can play with the people who are teaching you. However, some of the musicians are lacking in certain areas

At the beginning of the term there are a number of opportunities to sign up to organisation who provide employment opportunity’s. Also, as musicians, the teachers and college will try their very hardest to provide you with gigs and playing opportunities

There is a constant police and security presence around the accommodation which makes everyone feel safe and comfortable. The condition of the accommodation is great and is very modern and clean. The cost is also quite reasonable for the quality of living
