Amazing careers department, very helpful when applying to jobs/internships.

There are always computer rooms available and printers, if you want something binded the uni has a printing service available and they can sort that out for you. They have vast libraries and the staff is usually nice everywhere. The City North Baker Cafe provides food but its standars are low. The food is always extremely salty and if it tastes decent one day, then you got lucky. The prices are so high for everything at the cafe.

Whenever I'd had a query, the uni has helped me. Too bad most of these services are closed on weekends

The SU is nice, doing basic stuff any SU would make. They help with accommodation, they organise trips, they fund societies, their staff is friendly and in touch with students

Since Birmingham is the second largest city in UK, there are vast possibilities for leisure. From clubs to pubs, cafes, sea life aquarium, parks, really anything you could ask for.

BCU really puts effort into its clubs and societies. You can literally form or join any society you'd want and SU is helpful with that.

The courses are good, fitted, what you see is what you get, there are no ambiguous names. I haven't had a problem of not understanding something from the lecture, that couldn't be resolved with a bit of studying. Some lecturers are problematic, though. While some of them are really engaged into what they teach and are able to transmit that energy and passion to the students, some lecturers are just plain dull, lifeless and bland. They talk on a bored voice or not loud enough. There is one who makes snarky comments and uses a very fake smile almost at all times. Other lecturers simply do NOT want to give you constructive feedback when you go on 1 on 1 sessions for your assignment. There is this case with a Design lecturer in the Business School where it's the second year in a row where a vast number of my peers tell me the exact same things about her: she books you with a very small ammount of time (15 mins) and tells you that whatever you do is fine, even if you try to ask her specific questions, her answers basically end up being your reversed question (E.G. Q: Do I need to write more on this topic or is this enough? A: I mean you could. You could write more or just leave it like this, it's really up to you). She's done this exact thing to every single one of my friends and me too.

As I have said before, this university really takes the preparation for real life jobs seriously. Also, it offers amazing opportunities in the form of student placements, by letting students take a 1 year break from studies and work in the field that they study. Extremely exciting and helpful!

The facilities in City Centre are decent for what you pay. In City North, it's another story. There are 2 campuses: The Coppice and Oscott Gardens. The latter is en suite, with propper fridges and a heating system that works. The Coppice is hell on earth. The heating is usually missing, I had a cold almost all winter, the draft is unbearable, the windows are extremely loose, the fridges are just a tiny bit bigger than hotel fridges, the drains are almost always clogged and there is ALWAYS someone who parties, meaning noise (security are a bunch of dummies, they won't be able to help with the noise). The manager is a bit bitchy and honestly I don't know how she kept her job, seeing in what condition that campus is.

Everything is new at Southend and really well designed for student life. Colchester campus has a lot more going on and the library is fantastic!

I rarely had any problems but when I did, it was easy enough to sort out with help from student support.

The Southend campus SU was a little quiet during my first few years but has grown since and Colchester has a great atmosphere!

Southend campus is right on the High Street so there is lots to do off campus, with shops and restaurants just minutes away, plus the beach is really close!

The Southend campus was smaller and had less societies and sports clubs but I believe this has evolved since I graduated. Colchester has loads going on though, pretty much any sport or society you can think of exists!

I studied Marketing and Innovation which included really interesting modules from basic business theory to innovation and entrepreneurship modules. Most lecturers were really inspiring, many having founded their own successful companies.

I felt really privileged to have landed a great job within Digital Marketing just two weeks after finishing my exams. I was also offered interviews for a couple of blue-chip graduate schemes and since graduating have progressed along my career as quickly I hoped I would.

Although the accommodation for the Southend Campus wasn't open until my third year, it is fantastic! Great facilities in the perfect location - two minutes from the campus, high street, supermarket and train station!

Sports facilities are pretty dated, gym is tiny.

Loads, resident tutors and always knocking about and security are always about.

Not had much contact with them.

Go to clubs/bars

Marketing - really interesting and relevant to today's economy.

If i get a good final month then good i hope.

Not bad, want a double bed and bigger shower.

More general areas to go when free for several hours. Find myself easily bored.
