I think that more opportunities for students to socialise would be great. I feel like because the buildings are not all in one place it makes it more challenging to socialise
I am proud and happy to be at BCU because I get access to all the help and support I need for my studies.
The food quality is very bad and expensive but most students don’t have a choice
Very informal / conversational.
Really good place to study, lively environment, always something to do. convenient location
Tutors mostly do a lot to provide the best help and always try to improve. Nothing bad to say far as my experience goes.
18-24 years
First gen student
great teachers but if you want to study by yourselves, then it is hard to do that, very public study rooms. very limted alone studies
Help and support from tutors is amazing and has helped me understand my modules to a great extent. Location is in the heart of the city centre and easy to commute to. The campus shop is extremely helpful and convenient. The library could have more computers and more quiet study space for students, sometimes I feel there is nowhere to study.
I like the location
What makes it lovely is the fact that the university is very diverse and everyone no matter your race or background is catered for. The only area of improvement would be timetables being resolved faster because initially there were issues with the timetables

Timetable Sometimes don't meet the expectations and This time I also found that financial support is not enough in the university.
I love how the university has an amazing atmosphere that students and staff are happy. However on the downside, there could be more help accessible after 12th week of teaching in terms of assignment guidance and support.
The best part so far would be meeting some new friends and actually meeting my girlfriend at university which was unexpected but I’m not complaining. The worst part I’d say is some individuals on my course has been causing problems for me and many people that I know but hopefully this has been dealt with.
It’s great place to study as it has lots of facilities and support to help you through your studies and also to find opportunities suited for you. It also is in a great location close to accommodations and the city centre which also counteracts with the great social life.
Friendly environment and spacious
Supportive staff, with new facilities and opportunities
The university has the best facilities to make students feel comfortable about the quality of their education.
Lack of support with mental health issues
It’s a good place to study because it’s in the centre near the train stations. Accommodation is big and all the lecturers are friendly. It could be improved by adding more places to eat nearby as town is a ten minute walk and not accessible inbetween lectures and there is a card payment only policy for the food inside


There aren't many places to sit and study and There aren’t many hang out/ eating spots either. All seats are usually taken during breaks and me and my friends have to resort to walking around.
Not much interaction in lectures
