Sort:Latest reviewsBest Aspects- 1- Accessibility to quality education as well as study resources. 2- College Location 3- An inclusive environment Worst- Nothing really
Lots of different and unique facilities that can be used while on the course.
The uni feels so comfortable and a happy place
Good location in the city with lots around. Teachers are helpful and all friendly, classes and practical sessions are all very good. Could have more of a social space in some of the buildings
Best aspect: the kindness and respect of all the staff Worst aspect: the stairs
Best parts is how hands on the courses are.
It's a lovely and welcoming environment, the facilities are superb, and there's always posters advertising events or opportunities to get involved which is absolutely lovely to see. The lecturers are passionate about their subject and you can tell.
The teaching is amazing, the student support is a bit lacklustre
The moss house campus is nice but the summer campus is very dated and tight
Ucb is central for academic study. Staff are friendly and helpful
I think everything is nice
My best is the amount of support you are entitled to especially when you are part of the neurodivergent community
The univeristy provides a lot of studying places, including individual study and group study. This is very helpful for when we have individual assignments or group presentations. Another positive aspect is that the university facilities are easy to locate and the classrooms in Moss house are comfortable for students that have 3 hour lectures. This makes it easier to focus. The slight downside of the University are the class rooms in McIntyre house where the rooms feel slightly cramped. And some of the set ups of the chairs are facing backwards from the lecturer which makes it difficult to turn back contsantly towards the lecturer. I also would want a bigger range of books for our course
What makes it a great place- The fact that is easily accessible because of the location and for being small is easy to access from a building to another How cabe improved- the quality of food and more study spaces ( library for example)

Overall, it’s a good university; however, it could improve its communication with students and applicants. On some occasions, I sent emails and didn’t receive a reply, and at times the responses I did get were quite vague.
To include more things that make the university feel more lively, more involved societies, more events & involvement over all
Support from the uni is good however our classes are unorganised at times and we are thought of last minute when it comes to exams ect we aren’t given specific times. We don’t have many places to sit and study as well as areas to socialise. In comparison to the bigger unis there isn’t a big social aspect here at ucb and we don’t have many areas to sit especially with the rowdy college students around. This uni doesn’t give the fun “these are the years you’ll have fun and make the most memories” here at ucb everyone comes in for their lessons and make their way home. Some modules did feel unorganised at times (science of nutrition) and announcements aren’t being made. We had to check our timetable to see that we are now doing science of nutrition on a Monday after psychology, this wasn’t broadcasted and just feels very last minute which isn’t fair. At other unis there’s an option to book rooms out however we don’t have this option. If we did this would help me study and help my classmates study together. It’s nearly impossible to find a seat to get work done. I understand we need to go though our lecturer to book a room but if this was made as a link this would be easier for us personally to book.
. There's so much support, even in smaller things like connecting to WiFi there's always help available no matter what the issue is. Kickstart is great. Healthy food is available. Lecturer's are very supportive, emails are answered promptly. There are eco friendly pads and tampons in toilets which are a great help.

The uni is close to the city centre and isn’t too far from the accommodation. The lecturers are all kind and helpful when it comes to helping us understand
Lecturers have an open door policy which makes it easy for us to get help. Course is taught well although there could be adjustments made if the majority dislike what a lecturer has them doing - presentations
The WiFi in my accommodation room seems to not work a lot of the time - slow, low signal.
