So difficult to locate the correct person and department for help. Lectures are good and nice, but support system are inadequate
The facilities at BCU are brilliant! Everything you need to complete your studies are all on campus. It is always very well maintained by staff there and the security we have on campus makes me feel safe when I am at university. The only criticism I would give is that some of the food that you can buy on campus is a little expensive but apart from that the university is a great place to attend.
Everything is going well.
Very supportive student services such as university assistant messaging service For my course having lectures in the hall would be better to have sometimes
The facilities and support from staff are great, I feel very lucky to be part of BCU.
Birmingham city university is a diverse univeristy with people from diffrent cultures which is amazing The staff and students are helpful and respectful
Best University
For me studying in university and being able to access the building has been the worst. The best thing has been the content and learning that has been good.
My best experience is the student support and resources and for international student it is necessary for teacher to go in deep detail
Birmingham City University is a great place to study at due to the all the staff being so knowledgeable and friendly. They are keen to help out wherever needed and they do try their best to connect with us as students. They take their time to remember us and even our names as well. They do let us know about the resources made available to us as well. The only negative aspect for me was getting my disbursements so late and the process was a hassle.

It is a good place to make friends and understand assignments and course. Worse thing is support with regards to medical condition for extra time in assignment
covid made it hard to get the full uni experience - worst part so many areas to study and so many services available to help with academic work - best part could be improved by extended cafeteria hours for those with lectures in the evening/late afternoon such as myself
Really good lecturers are great and accomodating and helping us integrate theory into practice
I had an ok experience in uni. As a student, I had higher expectations from uni. O find out that the faculty in uni is not ready to take responsibility for anything and pass the issue to the student back or another team. My cohort had done a massive placement error and did not suss that error with the student. students have been given only 3 weeks of final placements to get everything signed off. This massive mistake had not been treated as an error but all the mess has been brushed under the carpet. Most of the students have been gon under pressure and depression due to this. I have been sufferings from anxiety and depression. But no support has been offered from the faculty side. All the heads of the department of nursing wear aware of it but no one offered any support to students.
BCU South City Campus is so nice, modern, well equipped and is beginning to feel like home. The only change I would make is for there to be a gym on site. I know there is a sports hall as well as some gym equipment used for teaching, however it would be nice if this equipment was available to students when lessons aren't taking place.

The university is fully equipped , support is readily available and the range of facilities available make it easy and accessible to use within the course. In terms of improvement , there could a more coherent influence for minority.
Very up to date and modern campuses with amazing lounge spaces. Very supportive tutors who listen to your concerns. Would be so much easier to travel to if we had free parking for students.
Big library, students and staff are friendly. One improvement may be to have more seating
The best experience is how much help is available to students. It has help services from mental health to finance so there’s always someone who can help you.
4.2
the best aspects are that there are many facilities and support given to us to enable me to get better grades.
we have placement which gives me hands on experience but it can be difficult especially when my placement booklet is online so ot may not get signed when i did achieve certain proficiencies.
