I love the facilities available to bakery students as the equipment is advanced and perfect for learning. And I enjoy meeting new people within the uni and you make a lot of friends in the maltings City living is expensive especially when commuting for work every weekend
There is great facilities in the bakery department. But we have to share with college students and can be nowhere for us to sit down to eat. I would love a student union bar. A gym would also be best in the maltings and lacks sports facilities.
It's very inclusive and the lecturers are supportive. The bakery facilities are top notch. The location is perfect, I love being in the middle of the city because it brings lots of opportunities and exciting thing to do. The worst aspect would be the WiFi because it's spotty and drops out a lot especially when assignments are due which is less than ideal
As a driving student found it very challenging to drive a parking also as a mature student I found it a bit overwhelmed with college students
It’s great because it’s given me a degree. What could improve is more practical.
BEST - Fun and engaging practical lessons, good facilities and nice options for food in the cantines WORST - Busy location (Birmingham city centre), summer row seating area on the 3rd floor is gone :(
Student support is good Campus not far from student accommodation or town
The building is modern
The university is very engaging and there is plenty of space for studying which is very helpful. However I wish there was slightly more seating as it is hard as it’s so popular.
Good learning environment overall, just let down by frequent WiFi issues, overcrowded in break time especially in summer row
For some of us who have carried on from college I feel like I wish the uni practical can be a lot different instead of the same.
Lecturers/ teaching staff are excellent- they have industry knowledge which I find helpful & useful as they always share stories etc The equipment in the bakery teaches us how to apply skills in a real life environment.
Campus look and feel I believe some of the buildings are out dated looking not only that I believe it’s unfair that the 6 form students can get into the university side of the campus as it gets over crowded it feels like summer row when they come and not a proper university
Some cons that I may not like about the university campus are that the college students spend madurity of their time in summer row taking space when people actually need to eat and they’re really loud. A pro is support is given but sometimes I feel as I if I don’t have enough given just like information in order to complete my assignments.
Amazing
It’s close to home can complete my degree without moving out. The lecturers are great and helpful haven’t had a bad experience.
Lecturers are knowledgeable in their fields which helps me learn at a much higher standard
I’m enjoying the content and think that the teacher are supportive
