*Students got a small reward for their timeIt's easy to locate and you get a good sense of familiarity fairly quickly one you've had a look around. Over my last 3 years I've made good use of the study places and I think they are managed well and in particular the library. I think in terms of improvement, just managing these spaces and maybe trying to create more green space within the university would be nice.
It has good facilities, especially equipment for filmmaking. Tutors are easy to contact and helpful with feedback. To improve, maybe more specific access to equipment, for example prioritizing final year projects.
Students and teachers here are very supporting.
It provides multiple of studying skills
It’s okay
Best aspects: BCU is very career-focused, especially in Business Management. The course feels practical and linked to real-world skills, not just theory. The City Centre Campus is modern and motivating, and the diversity of students creates an inclusive and supportive environment. Worst aspects / Improvements: Communication around timetables and admin processes can sometimes be slow. More structured placement and internship opportunities, along with increased industry involvement in modules, would make the experience even stronger.
Studying at Birmingham City University in the Curzon building is great because of the modern facilities, comfortable study spaces, and central location, which makes everything convenient. It could be improved by adding more quiet study areas during busy times and better communication about timetable updates.
So far I like this new student life, everything is very organized and all . I haven’t been here long enough to say if something should be improved …
I enjoy the engagement between tutor and student as well as how much attention is given to individuals struggling with academics.
Make it easier for students
Should add more games to play
So far so good
It has a good library, a good selection of literature. It has good events, good links for volunteering and placements. However, some support could be improved, being clearer in feedback and ensuring all staff understand what is expected in assessments.
There are many different study spaces so we can do our work in a good environment, affordable food, easy to find rooms, clean bathrooms, lovely lecturers/seminar leaders.
The best aspects are the teaching and the worst aspects are the timetables.
I love that there is a great support in the university however I would love for it to be open 24 hours. If I want to go to the Library and do work, I can only do it certain time.
Studying at Birmingham City University has been a positive experience for me overall, especially because of its supportive lecturers, practical course content, and strong focus on employability, which has helped me develop skills that feel relevant to real-world careers. The campus is modern and well-located in the city, making it easy to access resources, placements, and opportunities beyond university life. However, there are areas that could be improved, such as clearer communication around assessments and timetables, as well as more consistent academic support across modules. Improving these aspects would help reduce stress for students and make the learning experience more organised and accessible.
The campus is really nice and modern and the lectures and seminar leads are all very friendly.
It’s a great inclusive learning environment with amazing opportunities and support. I haven’t had any personal issues with university yet myself but I would feel comfortable reaching out if I did.
