UCB is a great place to study due to its modern state of the art facilities as well as its sound student support. I believe it would be a better place if we had a cafe the opens during our scheduled class times.
The environment and the lecturers
Vibrant city with lots to do and course has great facilities
Really nice place and having nice lectures. Mostly, I like the practical work with different kinds of dishes and recipes, and I like all the course modules.
Students and lecturers are in close contact
So far I am doing good nothing needs to be approved
UCB is great because of the supportive teachers and practical learning. It could improve by offering more placements and study spaces.
Best experience is that its in a great location, the lessons are essential for my chosen career path and the support from teachers are great. I think theres nothing to be improved.
Best Aspects of My Uni Experience Supportive lecturers who genuinely want students to succeed A diverse, friendly student community Strong academic resources (library, labs, study spaces) Plenty of opportunities for extracurriculars and professional development Having the opportunity to be able to do what I love and enjoy learning my chosen subject . What Makes It a Great Place to Study Engaged teaching staff, good learning environment, and a sense of belonging Opportunities to gain real-world skills through projects, placements, and societies
Amazing kitchen facilities and staff
Love it!!
My uni experience has been really positive overall. The kitchen facilities are well-maintained, clean, and spacious, making it easy for students to prepare their meals comfortably. I’ve also found the placement support to be excellent—staff are approachable, the guidance is practical, and the university provides plenty of opportunities and resources to help students secure meaningful work experience. A few areas could still be improved, but these strengths have made my time here very enjoyable.
The environment and the support teachers
Great facilities
Couldn't be better.
The best part of my university experience has been the independence and opportunities it’s given me. Being able to manage my own time, meet new people, and get involved in new things has helped me grow a lot. I’ve enjoyed discovering subjects I actually care about, learning from lecturers who are passionate about what they teach, and building friendships that feel like they’ll last long after uni. The social side nights out, societies, and just hanging around campus has made uni feel like a place where I really belong.
I love this course because it opens my eyes to the ethical ways and financial ways of running a business.
Some aspects that I like is that I have provided with knowledge on management such as how to run a restaurant, stock management, extenstive knowledge on agriculture.


Worst - travelling to and from university and the long nights around Birmingham. Best - the community and the friend you make and also the legal of knowledge of the course.
