The facilities are really up to date and are genuinely enjoyable to use. The computer rooms are always accessible, and the computers themselves are really fast. The staff are always really quick to reply to emails, and are incredibly helpful if you ever need help.

One of the best things about studying Nursing at Birmingham City University is the strong sense of support from both lecturers and clinical staff. As a first-year student, I was nervous about balancing theory with placement, but the teaching teams are genuinely approachable and always willing to explain things again or offer guidance. The simulation suites are also a huge advantage—they make learning feel real and give you the confidence to practise skills in a safe environment before heading into clinical settings. The diversity on campus is another highlight. You meet people from all backgrounds, and it creates an inclusive atmosphere where you always feel welcome. Being part of such a large healthcare faculty also means there are plenty of opportunities for interprofessional learning, which really helps you understand how different roles work together in practice. While the experience has been positive overall, there are a few things that could be improved. Communication can sometimes feel inconsistent, especially when it comes to timetable changes or placement information. As a first-year, this can add stress when you're trying to plan work shifts or travel.

More physical activity to get students active in their free time, so they enjoy coming to university and if they have exams, it would be helpful to have a stress free area which involves activities such as adding a gym on campus.

I love that the Seacole campus is so lively with many options for social spaces and food/drink, however the Harborne road building we are at a lot of the time doesn’t have as many options for places to spend gaps in between lectures. The teaching staff are amazing and so knowledgeable yet they still feel friendly enough to approach with questions. I love that the campus is easily accessible from a variety of transport options as it’s just off from a main road, and it’s a nice walk to campus from the bus stop. There are sometimes issues with wifi but IT are happy to help and easy to fix them. The library is well stocked, despite having a small amount of some books needed for my course, they are easy to check out or reserve. Laptops and computers are available on sight, as are printers and copiers.

Best: The culture is fantastic, the University make a great deal in making an inclusive place for students. Worst: independant, quiet areas are often quite hard to find.

I haven’t been there long enough to give a truthful rating. The student union for example, I’ve never spoken to them, but they have a whole reception for it, so money is put towards it

The lecturers are very nice in my course and my tutor is incredibly supportive. City South Campus has less facilities than the City Centre Campus though, so healthcare students get the short end of the stick. Societies tend to take place in City Centre which means I have not been able to attend societies due to traffic making me miss most of the sessions.

The musicians at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire are the most amazingly talented people in the world. Other than that haven't got much out of it. Signed up for student radio and was promised a show but it never happened. They all seem to be of the same persuasion. I did stand for elections and had an amazing time.

Best- University offers a unique blend of academic growth, social experiences, and personal development. The best experiences come from engaging lectures, supportive professors, and strong friendships. A great university provides excellent resources, career opportunities, and a vibrant student life. Improvement could come through better mental health support, more hands-on learning, and increased affordability for students.
