Sort:Latest reviewsBest aspects include course content, support and overall feel of uni. However, due to lack of campus locations are spread across city and sometimes not easy to get to.
Very welcoming campus and staff. Great facilities for learning amazing medical aids to help us develop our skills. Few teaching troubles at the beginning of the year with timetabling but the team have worked hard to aid this quickly. Fantastic extra support from local trusts with our learning and placement support. They have been as accessible as the teaching staff and come in to assist with our learning to ensure we are fully prepared for placement life.
Best thing is that support and teachers are welcoming. Would prefer to not have 9am and rather 9:30 or 10 due to traffic times.
There are simulation facilities at BCU however I feel there aren’t enough practical sessions held. I feel that students should have the opportunity to have more practical sessions to learn the skills they will need for placement. I also feel like more support is needed for student nurses as there is a lack of support for the amount they are required to do
•Lectures are open to help when ever they can. •Food is great •There is an increadible amount of resources to •help you. •Many options open to you. Worde part? Not taking advantaged of all of it from very start, but it wont stop me doing that now.
There are a lot of resources which are helpful if you are struggling in your course .
Its a good place to study as the campus is always clean and has a new modern feel too it. there is always a lot of study spaces available and a wide variety of places to get good food from. It could be improved by making the internet better
There seems to be a lot of support. All staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities are good and also include discounts. The environment is comfortable and easily accessible from the local train station
The staff makes is good.
There’s not many affordable or halal food places within the campus or around the campus. For instance the campus shop the food and snacks prices is very ay to high and the quality of the warm food in the shop is not great. In the campus There’s not many things you can do for instance there by far isn’t enough seating areas were sometimes I find that people are sitting on the floors in the corridors. And there isn’t many free time activities such as there is only one ping pong table. Not very confortable chairs Always an issue with timetables
The student union is great with lots of support. The university has a complete disregard for students, poor communication, little respect, no support for senior course leaders, no accountability.
Amazing especially seacole building one of my faves.
The best is the area. It’s easy and very accessible in terms of transport links The disadvantage of this university is that I feel the out of lecture help is below average. I have to learn almost everything myself by self teaching
The range of societies is terrible. I've joined the university of Birmingham tennis society to be able to play.
Great location, excellent facilities available on site. Tutors and staff are welcoming and approachable whenever help is required. It also offer on campus security and great technology implementations. Only thing that could be improved in my opinion would be the food options offered in the canteen.
Best Aspects: The diverse and inclusive environment fosters a sense of community among students. The lecturers are passionate and knowledgeable, often going above and beyond to support student learning. The university hosts numerous events and activities, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere for all students. Top Tips for Comments : The university is a fantastic place to study, offering great resources, a supportive community, and enriching experiences. I feel lucky to be part of such a vibrant institution!
The best parts of my university experience are often those where I've been given the opportunity to explore new things that often wouldn't have been possible on my own; connecting with businesses and institutions in the industry, methods to challenge and refine my skills, and the chance to discuss and learn from multiple figures who are making waves in the field who I look up to greatly. Everyone is so genuinely excited to be here, and uplifts each other as we develop as students and find our own pathways through the course. Changes that would impact my university experience for the better often include those where students are given the opportunity to mix with each other from beyond their course or department. Whilst there is an active student union with a wide variety of societies, BCU's satellite campuses can feel a little disconnected from the main university. This did mean that I ended up forming stronger bonds with my coursemates, and students in the same department though, which has helped a lot in other ways.
Theres nothing negative about the university i love it so much!

Staff turnover is very high, has lead to a lack of consistency during my time at uni. Staff have listened to student complaints and made adequate changes to help support us
Placement is the best aspect of the course, one to one time with mentors and crews. Lack of communication between placement hubs and the university, lots of delays in getting shifts out to students. Mentors state they struggle to get a response from the university when problems arise
