Bcu teachers are great and approachable so if you have nay concerns you can go to them for help and guidance. The university supports students with physical disabilities as there are ramps around the university. The library has many books and ebooks which you can access online however, i fell they need some more up to date books and e- books. There are opportunities for expert help within the library to help with referencing your work and also this facility is available outside the library. There are rooms set up for practical lessons to help put the theory together with practical situations eg x-ray rooms. Also, the seminar rooms are spacious and the building itself is modern so aesthetically pleasing.
The support and connections I’ve made have been by far the best experience as well as friends. Teachers will help you no matter what you can always call them or meet up with them for absolutely anything and you feel part of a place and welcomed to the industry
Within first year I was in an accommodation that was extremely antisocial and felt unsafe. To make this better the uni should be more linked with accommodations and let the students choose preferences eg. social, subjects etc.
I love the location of the campus it’s easy to access there is a parking not far from the site.
Lecturers and other staff are supportive. However, it can be challenging to resolve an issue with the faculty. For example, it could take days to get a response to an email. Facilities such as the library (staff there are always happy to help you find resources for coursework) and IT are supportive.
So far my uni experience has been okay, I have found the facilities great to use, however often due to group sizes we cant always have access to our 'promised' facilities due to lack of space. The facilities for practicals and simulations have been excellent and the facilities such as SPACE are very helpful for our course.
Great place to study, loads of support and friendly faces around campus.

What makes it a great place to study for me personally is it’s right in the city centre in the mist of all construction going on so it is very easy for me to relate to my degree. However, the facilities don’t have a lot of seating areas to accommodate all students so more seating areas to have a place to study.
Amazing but need cleaner toilet facilities
Kind Staff. A lot if good support for students.
As a health care student, I have really enjoyed the medical simulation rooms, sessions in the hospital set up for example, have allowed me to put my learning into practice in a risk free environment. I would like more breakout rooms with comfortable seating (specifically in seacole as all of the communal areas are quite noisy). Also, during my course I have had to access 4 different sites/ campuses, this could be unsettling for some students and it would be great if one building could be extended to bring everyone together.

Excellent education with a focus on practical skills and professional development. Not only that, but Birmingham offers so many opportunities for transforming lives and it easy to get there. Comprehensive, flexible courses at undergraduate and invested in facilities to keep learning experiences simulated. Teaching staffs always there to support and BCU provides affordable meals options and often provides free goodies.
So accessible.
As a student at Birmingham City University, I’ve found the experience both challenging and rewarding. The university offers a diverse range of programs with a strong focus on practical, hands-on learning, which has helped me gain valuable real-world skills. The facilities are modern and well-equipped, particularly the Curzon and Parkside buildings, which enhance the learning environment. Being in the heart of Birmingham, the campus is vibrant and provides plenty of opportunities for social activities and networking. Overall, BCU has helped me grow both academically and personally, making it a great choice for my studies.
I’m not very outgoing so didn’t take part in freshers and didn’t make many friends. But the university always finds ways to try and make everyone included even those who aren’t sure how to make friends The university are very efficient with ensuring all students have a support system in place starting with personal tutors. We also have the ability to contact other areas of support 24/7
Good location, campus is lacking. Student Union has a limited amount of options outside of a union for just your course. Facilities are good and all that is needed. Support seems to be useful from personal experience. Lecture times are sometimes spaced out too far, but this may be out of their control (makes commuting and working harder).
Great place to study overall with many facilities and supportive staff.

There's a lot of study areas, which makes it easy to find a place to work. However, there is sometimes a problem with the Internet.
The good thing is that the course is taught face to face and it is easy to get in contact with lecturers.
