As a second year Marketing, Advertising and PR EU student I can sum up my whole experience at BCU only by saying that I wouldn't choose another one over it if I was to chose again. As I am a very curious person, I've taken every opportunity of getting involved with different projects within the university, and I can say that I really had the chance to see everything that it has to offer : from great ERASMUS partnerships - I went to Copenhagen Business School, but there were also others - to great international travel scholarships to countries like Nepal or Morocco, employability enhancing projects and competitions. I would recommend it to every student that wants to gain a modern, hands-on knowledge and experience, and I would highly advise to take part in the additional projects and services that Birmingham City University has to offer. They're really great!
The new building will be great!
You can really find every kind of support here you would need as a student
They have many activities, but I didn't keep closely in touch with them
Very disorganised within certain courses. PowerPoint centred lectures. Teaches hard to approach. Uni overall Is nice and located in heart of Southampton. New development on building to become more modern
More computers needed in library. During exam season very hard to get a table and computer
Excellent. Always on hand if needed
Not joined any. However there are a few good ones but a wider variety is needed
Fashion management and marketing Best lecturers Amanda and Christine
Visual merchandiser
Best year of my life. Staff at Lucia foster welch were amazing,easy to get along with
Great campus with loads of facilities and places to eat. Plenty of rooms to study/use computers. Prospects of jobs are looking good for when I graduate. Really impressive uni for my degree
Studying advertising with marketing communications and so far, every internship I've had has been impressed I study that degree at Bournemouth uni.
My experience at Birmingham City University has been incredible, from moving to a new city - moving away from home for the first time and to dealing with an intense personal journal regarding my health, the support I've received along the way has been life-changing! (Cheesy but true!) Everyone I've been taught by has been fantastic, and I've worked in multiple departments within the University. A superb campus (especially the new Parkside buildings) with being offered incredible opportunities to work at global media companies, national companies and the chance to work with industry experts. I graduated with First Class Honours in September - something that seemed very out of reach when I was struggling with personal issues last year, the staff pushed me along, supported me and the facilities kept me going! Thanks BCU!
Fantastic facilities (especially for a media student in the new Parkside building!)
Student Support at Birmingham City University has certainly, 100% helped me. At the start of my first year I was diagnosed with something that I was really struggling with and had a huge impact on my studies - Student Services health and wellbeing team help me with emotional support, as well as ensuring my faculty were aware of my needs. Also ensuring that I had sufficient time and support to complete my work.
My experience with the student union has been varied, as I didn't really take full advantage of it until my third year. However, the staff are exceptionally friendly! (Each and every one of them!) And the societies, etc. are fantastic!
Moving from an Island to a city was interesting, and very daunting. But Birmingham is great, and I love it now! Moving from Perry Barr to the City Centre was certainly a bonus!
Scratch Media is fantastic, and the Harry Potter society is awesome ;)
I had some issues with my course as I chose the wrong modules (but that was my own fault.) Once I'd changed these modules the course was fantastic - the support form the lecturers was great. When a lecturer was unavailable or feedback was missing they worked tirelessly to ensure I received what I needed.
I have worked in numerous departments at the University as student staff. Such as Student Ambassador, Student Rep, Media Rep, School Rep, Marketing and Communications Assistant, Student Copywriter, Research team support, Media Ambassador, Admissions assistant and various volunteering opportunities. Also, the staff within my department put me in contact with several industry professionals which was great!
I lived in hall sin my first year and it was a blast - accommodation services were quick to fix anything that needed fixing, and security were fabulous. The only downside was not being able to stay over the summer.

Loughborough University has provided me with first-class teaching, countless incredible opportunities and the best student experience I could have imagined. Loughborough caught my eye from day one and no other university has been comparable since. There is definitely a community culture and the university is always striving to improve and exceed expectations.
University facilities are constantly being updated with cutting edge equipment and modern designs. I have never struggled to access the facilities I need, when I need them.
Loughborough has always been on my side, providing support when I've needed it. University staff are always helpful and the student union provides extra support if needed. The support available is well communicated and easily accessible.
In my four years at Loughborough, I have had some of the best nights of my life at the student union and it unlike any other I have been to. Not only is the nightlife excellent but the clubs, societies and opportunities are amazing. They provide students will support and a voice.
Loughborough town is smaller than many university cities but there are plenty of bars, clubs and places to eat. The town feels safe and you are never too far from home. The rail links with nearby cities also provides opportunities to explore.
It seems like Loughborough literally has a club for everything. Having been heavily involved with societies myself, I appreciate the great opportunities they provide and great experience they give to members. LSU societies and AU clubs are fantastic.
Course materials are industry relevant and cutting edge. Lecturers are fully supportive. I have been taught by world-leading academics in their fields.
Loughborough has great links with employers. Having completed a year in industry, I have seen just how in-demand Loughborough students are from top employers. I have no worries about getting a job upon graduation.
The hall experience at Loughborough is unlike any other university. Your hall community isn't just a group of people you live with, it is a family. Loughborough also give students the opportunity to stay in halls after first year. The quality of private accommodation is also excellent.
Absolutely love Swansea university and Swansea as a city. Fantastic beaches, great night life, I always look forward to returning after breaks at home. Very affordable place to live with an easy going and relaxed lifestyle and culture.
Great uni, great place, great facilities! I have great memories from my undergraduate course and believe that it set me up well for job prospects and my future career
Amazing! Such a large university so many students and a wealth of knowledge and help available. My time has been spent studying at the business school where lecturers employe a variety of teaching methods to get us engaged (including field trips)! I've enjoyed it so much I've dragged my experience out for 5 years!
The only thing Plymouth needs is more computers and group study rooms! As a business student that would be my only grumble! Facilities have been on the up since I've been studying so the computer sitch will probably be sorted soon!
You will always have someone there to support you no matter what the issue. I've found this out first hand and I owe a lot to the uni in terms of my personal development!
Can't fault it, always had great support from the sabbatical team, the union makes a great night out! The whole thing has been renovated twice since I've been here so its easy to see the level of investment put in!! Also super friendly door staff (a rarity!).
I love plym! Abundance of bars and clubs and shops! Drakes circus is always a shout for shopping and they run student discount nights conveniently after the loans come in!
Really good once again, I've been part of Swimming and Waterpolo for the past 3 years and they are like a 150 person strong family!
Most of the lecturers are super passionate about their subjects which makes for engaging lectures, however I say MOST. Some lectures are pretty boring but they are a small minority and the level of interest has definitely grown over the years I've been at Plym!
There are various teams set up to help with employment which I have used, the placement team I can't commend enough I would have been very stuck but they managed to help me, a middle of the road student with a job working for a multi billion pound organisation for my year in industry! I've been invited back after I graduate to work for the same company starting wage if of £35k so, I'm not complaining!
Can only comment of Mary Newman halls which are top notch! Double beds are another rarity in halls! Student houses are also good get in early and shop around! Avoid Shoreys!!
Birmingham City is a great university, but more specifically the business school where I study Marketing. I think what makes the quality of teaching so good is that all the lecturers have background experience of the industry. There are always extra activities the university offers to students in order to develop their skills and experience. Emphasising on employability, BCU ensures all students are ready to get a job in the industry. I'm thoroughly enjoying my second year and so glad I chose BCU to study at.
The uni offers all facilities a student may need. I've never found myself stuck with no assistance.
I've never required any of the services but working in the SU I am aware of everything the uni has to offer. If ever I needed help I would know there was someone there to talk to
The student union offers good services, but in terms of events and the image it's not the best. It needs updating. The new campus move sounds like it will be very beneficial to the image of the new SU
With Birmingham being the second biggest city, the city life is great. There's always something to do and the nightlife is really fun.
I tried joining a few clubs both first and second year but the sports groups aren't very welcoming. I wanted something I could just go to once a week and enjoy but it wasn't like that at all.
All lecturers have had or are currently working in industry. This is great for the quality of teaching we receive and also knowing there's always someone who can answer any questions with real experiences advice.
BCU are very employability focused, I feel very at ease that I will be able to get a job when I finish my degree.
On campus accommodation is very good, the price is reasonable for the location. I had a good first year in halls

Other students also liked these unis - you might too!
It is a good university with a modern academic staff, which is quite adequate for the department I chose.
Need to improve Sports activities
PROS - The university has been absolutely stellar at providing opportunities to those who put in that extra effort. - Support, particularly the maths gym provided by the uni for ...
