I think bcu provides exceptional support in both learning support as well as campus experience. The campus is in good condition and is a comfortable environment for learning . The staff are freindly and the safety is taken seriously and in good condition.
It's a friendly environment, staff give you plenty of help and support with your studies. The library has plenty of resources .
The best aspects is the location of where the university is. The worst aspects are the difficulty of being able to communicate with other people if you are shy.
-Email placement support while at placement should be improved -overall everything is fine
The content flows between classes making the course feel well thought out and the learning enjoyable. The campus and lecturers are great with all the support available to do well. Socially Birmingham is a great place to be too!
The Unisex has great support and facilities and the only thing I would improve is the timetabling to be more friendly to mature students with childcare issues.
Very far from main campus library and books not always available in Mary seacole - you can order them in but often Mary seacole library isn’t an option Pros - many good options, toilets everywhere,
Worst aspects would be timetabling issues,other than that everything else has been a good experience
I think arts courses need more funding and we don't have many days in classes so a lot of the work is from home rather than in person or face to face
The general facilities are great, but there should be arrangements in place to ensure that students have access to cheap food at lunchtime/ break times
Lovely space in the heart of Birmingham with many shops however lecture content could be improved to secure students knowledge
Lots of resources Small campus
Very Nice
Best- the student life and vibe of the uni Worst- The timetables aren’t organised well because the lectures and seminars are spaced out so much that i have to schedule around these times which is inconvenient

Birmingham city university are giving more facilities then other universities in Uk.And the main reason to choose this Computing and Information Technology course just because of this course is accredited with partial CENG. Although my university is outstanding and wonderful in the whole United Kingdom .
Why I choose BCU? • Students support is available anytime with BCU Success Team. • Library is available 24/7. • Help with student finance. • Graduat Plus are available for students future. • Easy access to all online resources Moodle, library and ICity. • Building infrastructure is safe and sound, security and alarm working 24/7. • Fire exit and all other safety options to save humanity are available. Improvements!! • BCU needs to know how students interest whether they want exam or assessments because university degrees should be are more research based degree not exam based. Exams are good for subject such as maths and other mathematical modeling subjects but not for all. • BCU attendance system needs to be fix because some students facing problems with there attendance because they haven't absent in any lecture but they got absence by system. That's it. Thank you so much.
Best aspects of my uni experience is that the teacher support is great. I can always approach tutors and I get support in what I want to do. The worst aspect is that the communications for events are not very clearly communicated so it is difficult to keep tract of what is going on.
The resources and books in the library.The study areas.

Great location, always someone there to help you. Worst part is the constant construction around the uni, but you can’t control that.
Teachers are great and a lot better in third year. The course hours are not ideal, in till 7 on a Tuesday is not the best.
