I think it would be better for students, especially international students, if they had more support when doing assignments. The CASE department is a good tool, but they only offer 30 minutes of sessions per week, which I think is not enough to cover all your doubts and all support you need. I think it would be better if they would increase the number of sessions per week and the time allowed for each session.

As UCB is located in very nice place near victory palace and city centre and there are a lot of bus stop which help to reach student easily. As ucb provide workshop for students personal tutorial if they need and everytime every kind of programmes like weekly hired, international study chance even for international students, health support and many more the thing which need to improve is please look after international students also.
the best will be the experience and learning i quite enjoy my studies here at UCB and feeling welcome within my course. the worst aspect would just be travel and time management within this.
The campus facilities are amazing, and you'll meet people from all around the world, making it a super cool and diverse community. There are also tons of fun extracurricular activities and great networking opportunities. but one area that could be improved is the closing hours of the canteen. Many students have late classes and find it challenging to access food and beverages when they're needed most. Extending the canteen's operating hours to accommodate students with late schedules would be a practical enhancement, ensuring that all students can conveniently grab a meal or a drink regardless of their class timings. But overall, it's a great place to study!

Since I joined the uni its so enjoyable every lectures are very friendly and helpful. They are teaching more than just theoretical thing. They help us to do our assignments, daily life and also find a good job. They give us opportunities to meet big people from different industries. It's my first year but I learned so many things. The lecture and hired team helped me get my job. They taught me how to make a good CV and how to apply for a job. I didnt have job few months ago and it was really hard for me to survive but now I got job in Flight Club Darts Birmingham. Its a prestigious company and because of the uni I am able to get that job. I got so much support from university. I think It will be great if they will give some scholarships to the hard-working student to live their life more easily. As I know They don't provide scholarships for international students after enrolment this is the only thing I am disappointed otherwise University is really great.
The university has flexible learning options, supportive teachers, practice element as-well as assignment work. I think the enrolment could be reduced to a week rather than two weeks.
The support offered by the university is the best part. There's nothing bad about UCB
The University environment is great. Lectures are amazing. Food, canteens and lunch time cues could be improved. Food is boring. Not enough space to sit and cues are extremely long. Not ideal at all.
The university is very versatile and I believe the staff are why. All members of staff have such different personal experiences and knowledge that you are constantly learning. I don’t think the university and the students mingle enough. You just kind of come and go and not talk to students in other courses
They can be unorganised a lot of support available
Accomodation is not the best but it's liveable.
UCB is a fantastic university with incredible support for students like myself . If I have any issue with my course they ready to help
Ucb is a great place to be for university because of the great and supportive community they have, in terms of teaching, hiring and the other support services available for students. There is also kickstart, which is such a blessing for students with £300 to help students start the course and can be used for food on ucb campus. This is so amazing and thoughtful of the university.
I love it here, wouldn’t have picked anywhere else to go especially as a disabled student. I feel so supported at UCB and am truly privileged and grateful to be part of such a lovely university community full of diverse people from different ethnic backgrounds and cultures. The support is amazing and the teaching is very individualised and engaging.
I haven’t experienced any student life and if there has been events on in my opinion they have not been promoted enough.
There are no worst aspects in studying at uni because you have a better perspective when it comes to looking for a job,also other benefits are that you make new friends and connections with the teachers that can help you with further informations and ideas of how the industry works and what other job opportunities the industry offers. The fact that i've studied the same course at college it helps me to gain more experience and knowledge in more detail it guides me better to my desired career as a hotel manager.

The staff are incredibly supportive and make you feel welcomed. The support services are excellent and are available to help academically and also with wellbeing. The kickstart scheme is very useful and helps reduce costs. It would be nice if the food on campus was cheaper though and if the canteen was more organised.

Actually, i am a first year student and its been around 1 month to studying here and the think which i loved about university college birmingham is that, staff and the professor were very friendly and supportive nature and all the facilities provided for students also very nice. Education system also good enough like having seminar help a lot in assignment, in comparison to nepal its totally different and The bad think which i dont like, about environment where most of the students outside the building taking cigarettes and something which emmits bad smell also affects health and most of time internet excess problem. I think, having a better collaborations with different company, industries and businesses can lead to opportunities for internships, research project and job placement for student especially international one.
Best: the events they hold Worst: teaching quality
