I've only been here at UCB for 5 weeks and I love it, the course though won't lie... It's tough as old boots. The staff are nice and friendly, each building has something different that yet I still have to explore. At ucb they see all staff & students as family, which is nice to feel accepted. #Compliments to the chef's, the food is🤤. Even though as adults we have to seek info etc. At ucb they have so much support to offer not just with each course but with the well-being of others. Each building has it's own welcoming & accepted feeling, it's nice to be & feel apart of something. I'm just so glad I took the leap & went for ucb so thank you for all that you do 👩🏾‍🎓

Sometimes there is way too much information to take in and learn in such a short period of time. Not long enough to loan books especially if we need to read quite a lot of information. During lecture time students should at least be able to get up and move about I.e a good old stretch. Because of sitting long hours on the Lil seats isn't healthy or good for posture, or so I've heard🤷🏾‍♀️. The only main reason is the information during lectures; I feel for all students that with all the old & new information that is given to us, which is an awful lot to try and remember in a short space of time, are struggling especially between learning & assignments etc. It should be cut up into sections or something may be. But other than that, who can fault ucb or the course I'm doing. # ✨ ✨✨✨✨

UCB is a fantastic university with many great facilites, support for students and an accomodation close by. I do culinary arts managements and the kitchens for the skills practicals are superb and fully stocked with whatever you could need. The UCB restaurant itself is superb and I think it is fantastic that it allows us to cook in their amazing kitchens but also train us in pastry and front of house service at the highest level.

This uni is a great place to study as the amount of support you are given is very helpful, they are also good with making you aware of what support is available with weekly emails informing and reminding us what is available to get through our course with ease.

Best aspects of UCB: - The lecture teachers replies to emails fast and the lectures are engaging. They sometimes include guest speakers related to the modules. - UCB has a guild for students which supports students with any enquiries they have, they listen to students voices! (students complained about a car park increasing their prices due to inflation so they recently fixed this so students could pay for parking there with a student code). They have Merch there which are good prices and can be brought with kick-start. - The Uni comes with Kick-Start which involves the Uni already putting money on there which can be spent on the website (which has any kind of books, laptops, phones, clothes, bags, kitchen utensils etc). The Kick-Start also allows you to purchase merch, food on campus and printing credits. You are welcome to add additional money on there from your own funds. - The Uni has an excellent support system with having a 30min appointment with a Liberian (which can help with research), CASE (helps with assignments support and understanding your assignments) and finally, a referencing appointment which helps with understanding how to reference effectively. - We also have workshops that can help you understand assignments, presentations and how to improve your personal skills. - We have a department called HIRED which helps improve your CV and interview skills. - We also have Grammerly which can be installed with the help of the IT department, they also help with any issues with your laptop. - The food on campus is nice and we also have a Starbucks. It adheres to allergies and had halal, gluten and dairy free options. They also serve breakfast. - The library is a great place to study and loan books, the Librarians are happy to help students find what you require. - They also have a free counselling service for students. - Mental health is hugely talked about and there are services that can help students. - They have students wifi which is quite fast. - Student are celebrated in terms of supporting different cultures. For example, when it was Diwali students were encouraged to attend in their traditional clothing, there was cultural music and dancing. - The Uni is a 10-15 mins walk from Bullring town (use your student discount) and the Campuses are close within each other. - There are placement opportunities and the staff are there to help you find one. - You could also become a Student Ambassador at the Uni and get paid for it! This will involve you helping out on open days etc. - You can become a Course Rep which although is unpaid, it will look great on CV! You will speak to other students on your course and raise any concerns to meetings. In which staff will hear about and rectify any issues. - After completing each module, you will be asked to review it so the uni can improve on anything or keep what worked well with students. - This Uni won University of the Year 2022! Improvements: - The Uni could do better at advertising what makes them stand out, especially on open days and on their website. - There could be more events at the Uni in terms of having fun activities for everyone , the student life can be improved here. - Lecture rooms do not have sockets to charge laptops so make sure your laptop is fully charged.

The university and the accommodation are in an ideal location and near by to the centre. All of the buildings are very close to one another. The canteen in McIntyre house should stay open later as many people have lectures till quite late and have no close options for a drink or food

The support you receive with the assignment work is really good as they don’t allow you to struggle. Also the university is situated in a good place as you can get to and from the train station or bus stops and its close to university accommodation as well.

University College Birmingham looks set to improve lot of areas, also for the fact that it is now in partnership with University of Warwick, lot is carried out to high standard with flexible approach giving students engagement a priority, health and wellbeing, and has made a mentoring a subject (Graduate Advantage lesson) which is a positive step to closing the gaps on students who may fall behind as a results of life experience and today's challenges.

The lecturers are amazing and very helpful. The support that student can get is great. If you need something, there's always help there. The only downside to University College Birmingham is the timetable. There are too many days to attend. Only 3 hours each day, but 3 days a week is too much. Does not leave much time for independent studying, work and personal life. Most students I've spoken to, have said they'd prefer to attend 2 full days instead of 3. I live in a different city and it's quite far from University. So to travel each day for more than 2 hours, It's costing a lot in fuel and also parking and the clean air zone charge.
