Sort:Latest reviewsSupportive staff and good facilities. Campus is far from the city centre.
Safe environment and can easily study on campus with low disruptions and it's quite spacious. The people here are lovely and very welcoming. The computers, laptops, library can also be very handy when you struggle to study at home. Probably just needs more food places.
It has great equipment especially for my course. More organisation from the administration would be beneficial. More opportunities to help build my career ahead of graduation especially for my course would be beneficial. Great experience with high-end equipment which helps build my portfolio

A lot of support given to students by staff including; lecturers, module leaders, mental health and wellbeing team
The university atmosphere and the kindness and helpfulness of staff is very beneficial when any type of support is needed. Fellow students are very friendly and this makes the experience even more great. The improvements that the university could make is recording lectures like many other universities for students who are unable to attend the lectures and to have staff be more understanding towards one’s situation as if there is group work and not all group members have contributed they do not let you present your work alone and say it’s too late to bring up any grievances this late and issues should be brought up earlier however when explaining that the issues just occurred days before they do not understand or help in sorting it out but instead tell you to continue with the group and accommodate for others mistakes. However on the whole my first semester at this university has been pleasant other than that issue where the staff for that module do not help or let you present the work alone but if someone is ill on the day they can make an acceptation but for bigger problems they cannot which does not seem fair. The university has many facilities and is a great place to work and revise for topics as well as having a range of food and drink available to students to purchase and the uni overall is a very good one and I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of joining next year.
Great location and accessibility to Birmingham city Make sure the facilities are working and functioning for the university more plug sockets and regulated heating in all rooms.
Best aspects are the teaching and the support you get, everyone wants you to succeed. It's a lot of hard work but it all pays off in the end. The facilities are great too
Travelling in cold weather
University is spread out across the city and depending on your chosen subject, you will be based at one of the buildings / campuses. Facilities are average at best. Some facilities are extremely poor and need refurbishing. Canteen areas are also quite small and Limted. Not much to the university. Benefits include £1000 if you meet or beat the entry requirements and free access to resources. University should provide a space for recreational sports / activities at every building/campus.
Birmingham city university is great place to study because they provide you all the support where needed. Teachers are supportive and the location also is amazing as each building have separate sittings to study
Lovely and modern . Has a nice atmosphere not very overwhelming . Most lecturers are very relaxed and friendly however some can be very dull and harsh
I’ve enjoyed my classes, lecture, head of course along with my fellow students.
The student support could be further improved by better feedback and support in modules. The facilities are amazing, there are plenty of toilets and also lockers to keep things safe. There are also plenty of places to eat. But the overall feel of the uni could be improved, for instance as xmas there could have been more decorations rather than just a Xmas tree. I can’t comment on student life as I only come to uni to study and commute back. But overall the university is good but could be improved.
Bcu is a great place to study as the lecturers are very supportive and teaching is of a very high quality. Parking facilities and mental health support could be improved.
Friendly people Worst my campus is far out
I like how close the campus is to the city centre. I also like the facilities that are available to us, such as the printing room, independent study rooms in the library and the in-campus shop with various useful art supplies. If I were to chose, I'd say the biggest issue is the lack of lockers for students who have to carry a lot of art supplies for every lecture such as myself, which is especially inconvenient for people travelling on a public transport, such as a tram or a train.
