I like how close everything on Campus is and how Selly Oak and the Vale arent too far from eachother and lectures.
The thing that makes it such a great place to study is probably opportunities university offer in terms of internships, works and overall future career. The thing it could improve probably the price of the uni accommodations, u still have to buy them because near the uni all accomms are very expensive
Best: good lectueres and support Bad: Location. Far away from the vale and the campus itself is small, so it’s hard to find study spaces
The facilities at the University of Birmingham are very good especially for sports related degrees. The campus also is very nice and there's a really good gym that is good for student wellbeing. The location is good with easy transport links to Birmingham city centre and easy ways for students to travel home in the holidays. The student support has been very good with personal tutors replying quickly, very good wellbeing services and lots of advice about career networks and opportunities.
The teaching is excellent, the campus is beautiful and atmospheric and overall I love and feel proud to study at UoB.

The campus and library is amazing.
The best things about the University of Birmingham are its strong academic reputation, supportive lectures and good opportunities for networking and extracurricular activities. There is always something going on at campus for students to get involved with. There are also many services available for students to get support for their academic work and support for wellbeing. However, a lot of the academic study spaces get full really quickly so there isn’t always space.
I don’t think there are any major improvements it’s a great place to study
The best part of my university experience has been the supportive community, engaging teaching staff, and wide range of academic, social, and career opportunities, which make it a great place to study. However, communication and administrative processes could be improved, as well as support during busy periods. Overall, the experience is positive, with a few areas that could be enhanced to better support students.
The activities that go on campus are very nice, it doesn’t need to be improved
The atmsophere.
Love campus, love facilities. Some professors could be better
I think the university has a beautiful campus and is very welcoming.
The course is great, there is a lot of support from the staff. However, the campus could be better
Good campus but needs more study spaces around exam season and more halal food spots.
It is such a nice place to be and so close to the city centre
The open and welcoming atmosphere of the university with stalls and occasional markets and events make it seem like a breathing university


The best aspect of my university experience is the campus and could be improved through costs on campus e.g food and memberships
Best aspect of the course is how interesting it is but could have more help from tutor e.g im a term into second year and haven't met with my tutor yet
Liked Mason in general but is expensive
