Great lecturers with real life experience and really friendly staffs and great facilities
It's been the best experience of my life in this university. I am learning all the important things related to cooking and culinary arts. There is a lot to know about cooking, managing, health and nutrition as a chef, an individual have to know so many things, otherwise it can lead to dangerous situations. My university is exactly teaching me all these things so that I can handle food and related situations perfectly.

The best part is the experience that i am gaining and thr worst aspect is some of the timing
The university college Birmingham is a great place to study I am a returning student that is really passionate about my love for cooking and the motivation the the experience to serve real people before going into the industry it’s really something that everyone should take part it It could be improved if there was a cafe opens earlier for the students that come from long distances that don’t have time to eat. I am one of those students and for my 8am class I wake up at 5 in the morning so when I get to location there is nothing open But I feel like there has to be more a stern attitude also when trying to teach people

My experience studying Culinary Arts Management at UCB has been really positive. The lecturers are supportive, and many of them have real industry experience, which makes the classes feel practical and useful. I enjoy the mix of hands-on kitchen work and academic learning, and the facilities are modern and well-equipped. Overall, UCB has given me confidence in my skills and a good understanding of how the culinary industry works.
The city is good and the staff are knowledgeable in the industry. More support is needed for the students
The lecturer are very good at helping and friendly environment The practical facilities are just wow!
The best aspect is the the practical side as it goes really in depth. The worst would be how long the theory day is. I would prefer the theory be split over the week
