The university overall is amazing and it motivates me to attend my lectures. I've made new friends and my lectures are all there to support me, which makes me feel appreciated and listened to. It also helps with my mental health by attending and having friends that I can study with as well. The only bad aspect is the lecture rooms. For one of the rooms is too small and it's claustrophobic. I feel sick and get migraines attacks, whenever I'm in that room. If that could be looked into. Maybe a fan or something to release cool air, because opening the doors doesnt really do anything.
My university is centrally located in the heart of Birmingham, making it easily accessible, its location also makes it accessible to most of what the city can offer, the state-of-the-art building makes the environment suitable and convenient for learning providing high-quality modern innovations for students and lecturers, the university itself is student friendly as it provides well tailored student support to meet colletive and indidvidual needs of strudent thereby creating equal opportunity where equity is the bedrock, however, the school need to do more in student engagement on activities available as this information is key for student to participate fully
The university has a lot of support for students, the lecturer team are very experienced and knowledgeable
Need more space
I happy with the location being central. Internet provided by Uni is very poor Phone internet and signal does not work
The best is that it is easy to make friends The worst is that it is hard to get there, as I live far
This has to be one of the best educational establishments in the UK. The blend between college and university make it so much less intimidating to attend. All ages and backgrounds mingle in harmony creating a great environment for your holistic learning experience. I personally have had nothing but positive experiences both as a parent with a child studying at college and university levels, and as a student at the university myself. Talking specifically about my tutors and course content I think I hit the jackpot being offered a place here to study as a student nurse. The staff and open, approachable, knowledgeable and genuinely interested in scaffolding you to become the best version of your professional self. The resources for learning are exceptional with everything covered from live “patients” to the latest technology to assisting your practical skills. The location is fantastic with a train and tram stop just a 12 minute walk down one road straight to the university from the Jewellery Quarter. Our library and further support is just a few minutes walk from the university making those extra resources very accessible. In short, if you’re considering your place for further education please don’t waste your time looking elsewhere just apply to UCB now. Great place to study.
Very good University
Good facilities , they have student support where u can go and get advice and help whenever u need it and also various resources and unions where you can join
Nice campus
I’m really enjoying my university experience so far, the course is really interesting and I enjoy learning about everything involved. All the staff are really friendly and helpful and supportive.
The Best Aspects: * Academic Growth: The courses were challenging but super rewarding. Really pushed me to think critically and explore new ideas. The Worst Aspects: * Workload Overload: There were times when the workload felt overwhelming, especially during exam periods.
The facilities are brilliant and the building are lovely. To improve you guys can improve the structure of the nursing course so it’s not so dense.
Best part of uni One of the best parts of my university experience has been the sense of purpose it’s given me. Studying Adult Nursing has helped me grow in confidence and clarity, both academically and personally. I’ve especially enjoyed turning complex topics—like anatomy or biology—into simple, creative resources that help others learn. It’s been fulfilling to combine my studies with my faith and creativity, whether through my Etsy shop or helping classmates revise. Hardest part The toughest part has been managing the pressure. Balancing placements information, deadlines, and running a small business has sometimes felt overwhelming. There were moments I felt stretched thin, but those challenges taught me how to set boundaries, stay grounded in my values, and lean on God’s strength when I felt burnt out and the support of the school
I do believe there could be more personalised student support
I have enjoyed learning and I like my teachers, the online learning is a bit hard to do
I like how close it is to the train station and it’s easy to get to


It’s such a comforting and supportive environment to be in.
I’m not sure
