Great place to study with top facilities. I would have liked the whole campus to be closer together but you can't beat being right in the centre of Birmingham.
I think studying here at UCB has great facilities and supporttgisplenty of encouragement to pass assignments the brief remit outline assignments in great details. The learning resources is great. Especially with the assignment life cycle. That is available on student canvas
The best would be the profesors that truely help you and listen to you, especialy at Business School. On the bad note I would add the student engagement in the business sociaties.
I like that the course involves a variety of different subjects within the course which enables us to diversify our skills. Most of the lecturers are very helpful and understanding when you have a problem. Communication between university and students definitely needs to be improved, over my 3 years here things are often miscommunicated which leads to confusion about assignment hand ins, timetable issues etc. we are also required to spend a lot of money on kit that sometimes only gets used for one unit, and has to be purchased through the university scheme even for less specialised equipment such as sculpting tools and makeup brushes
Great clean Uni campus, lecturers are very friendly and help, easy to find your way around and location is great
Has nice faculties such a gym computer spaces etc has different departments to help you with your assignments e.g case hired and so on
The only reason this is a great place to study is because of my two lecturers and the effort they put into our course to aid us doing as best as we can.
The staff are very friendly and helpful. The facility are always clean. To improve ucb I think student from both college and university should get different colour landyard a from each other so they can be easily identifiable
Really good teachers and location

Very helpful in various areas like health and wellbeing, academic writing, research
Great resources and support from student services
I have been her for 5 years now starting as a professional chef here at college all the way up to completing my degree. I even came in 2016 to do the young chefs academy. The facilities are outstanding and are constantly getting better. I think more money could be going into courses that already exist aswell as the new ones. I feel that the work load alongside the dissertation should be less. I feel its really effecting my mental health because even if iv done a full day of studying, I still feel like it's not enough and I'm going to fall behind. I thing the guild are great they just need better communication and better organisation but they really are making a difference to student life. I think all the campuses are great but I think summer row needs a spruce up because it's looking old and dingy compared to moss House

UCB is a very well laid out campus, nice and feels fresh, always clean and easily accessible by foot, bus and car, there is a ncp parking close by which the university has arranged for student discount parking which is the best for students. Great assistance is offered to students by tutors, it departments and librarians all to ensure best support and success of students throughout their course.
I feel course hours are suitable but feel more time is to be allocated for personal directed study
Excellent
