Not a bad thing to say at all. Teachers are really good and comforting and very much willing to help students. I’ve received a lot of helpful advice and assistance in the right direction.

There are multiple contact hours for the course each dedicated to different modules which address different skills that will be applicable to work in the industry. Lectures are through and lecturers offer personal tutor sessions and extra meetings to aid with the work. Students from all year groups interact and help each other to complete projects. Workshops are available all week and technicians are thorough in their support. Overall the course is both incredibly enjoyable and very interesting.

The communal courtyard is a great place to sit with friends and can only be accessed by those who live in the building. The building is incredibly close to the City Centre campus meaning there is good access to the uni library. Parcels are also handled well and recipients are informed quickly when they have had a delivery.

Best aspect is the teachers are very helpful

Each module tends to teach the same topics and so it doesn’t feel like I’ve learnt much. Some lecturers are amazing and very engaging

As an International MBA student, the best aspects of the course are the global perspective it offers and the practical, real-world approach to business challenges. The course is taught through a blended learning model, combining in-class lectures with online resources, which offers flexibility but also ensures interactive, face-to-face discussions. The diverse student cohort brings different viewpoints, which enriches the learning experience and enhances understanding of international markets and business practices. The lecturers are highly experienced and approachable, and their real-world industry knowledge adds depth to the material. The group projects and case studies are excellent for developing leadership and teamwork skills, which are crucial in the global business world. However, the worst aspect is that the course hours can be quite intensive, especially when managing multiple assignments simultaneously. While the content is valuable, the workload can sometimes feel overwhelming, particularly for those balancing studies with part-time work. Additionally, more networking opportunities or industry connections could be integrated into the curriculum to better prepare students for post-graduation employment. Overall, it’s a challenging yet rewarding program that prepares you well for global leadership roles.

Best Aspects: The MSc Pre-registration Adult Nursing course at Birmingham City University offers a comprehensive and well-structured program that prepares students thoroughly for a career in nursing. The course combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience, which is crucial for developing the necessary skills in adult nursing. One of the standout features is the quality of placements provided by the university. The opportunity to work in a variety of healthcare settings allows students to gain hands-on experience and apply what they’ve learned in real-world environments. The support from clinical mentors during placements is also commendable, as it helps build confidence and competence in nursing skills. Another great aspect is the access to modern facilities such as simulation suites, which provide a safe environment for students to practice and refine clinical procedures before encountering real patients. The teaching staff, many of whom have extensive experience in healthcare, are very supportive and committed to student success, always encouraging a reflective and evidence-based approach to nursing practice. Areas for Improvement: However, there are a few areas where the course could improve. One issue is the intensity of the workload, especially with the combination of academic assignments and clinical placements. At times, it can feel overwhelming, and better time management resources or guidance might help students balance these demands more effectively. Communication between the faculty and students could also be enhanced, particularly regarding changes in the schedule or placement arrangements. Some students have experienced last-minute adjustments that can be challenging to accommodate, especially during high-stress periods like exams or placement assessments. Lastly, while the course does a great job of preparing students clinically, there could be more focus on mental health support and wellbeing initiatives to help students cope with the emotional demands of the profession. Adding workshops or sessions focused on resilience and self-care would be a valuable addition to the program. Overall: Despite some challenges, the MSc Pre-registration Adult Nursing course at BCU offers a solid foundation for anyone looking to enter the nursing profession. The combination of academic rigor, practical experience, and supportive teaching makes it a strong choice for future nurses. Addressing the areas for improvement would make the course even more beneficial to students.

Best aspects are the self paced rhythm and moodle platform easy to use. Worst aspects the content is not always useful and lecturers try to make the class very participative asking too much questions to the students trying to encourage them to participate, which under my point of view interrupt the rhythm of the class

Course leaders are supportive, however not very interactive.

Compared to first year, second year my accom has been so good, first year there was a problem with management, rodents and overall safety. This year, new management are setting up interactive events, ensuring students are happy

Some sessions are not worth the travel time to university. I think some sessions should be voted by the class if they want it to take place online. Overall, it is the students who are learning and will result in their overall grade and what effort they want to put in.

The best id the class discussion and allowing everyone share their opinion while the worst was the online epad session, we left the lecture confused.
