I love this university because the layout is great, lectures are great and it’s a good location.
From the age of 16 I have studied with UCB, I also did my work experience here when I was in year 10/11. I love UCB the staff the building the teaching has always been fantastic hence why I always come back. Such a great university the support I have had has been amazing , I do have children and needed extra help and it’s always been given. Best University ever!
The university had a nice layout and is always clean and presentable and is accessible. The social aspect is lacking hugely. There is no opportunity to mix with student outside of class. It is very much come to uni and leave. I know others feel the same also.
The campus is in a great central location with lots of transportation links. It offers top notch facilities and they are always looking at ways to to improve to give their students the most out of their courses. The only think i would say that could be better is the food choices available and offer some cheap meals to those potentially struggling with money. The services available such as hired and the library really do enhance the course and your learning
In general I think is everything ok
The university is really close to the train station, only about a 10 minute walk so it’s got a really great location if your not living in the halls of residence or near by, student food gets a discount as well as freshly baked food from the bakery and patisserie courses you can buy, the facilities are great, they have autonomy tables which can show the whole body and really high tech
the best part of uni is the engagement from our lecturers, specifically for my course food and nutrition as we are a small class, we often have a lot of opportunity to speak with our lecturers for more clarity on our work or about any concerns we may have, we even have tutorials which are scheduled 1-1s. The only downside to this university would be the fact that we don’t have many places to study for example, the library is a seperate building & we don’t have accessibility to book rooms to study in.
Great facilities. Not much to say about negatives
There are lots of facilities to use that are helpful such as HIRED and more services at the library. The course is fun and interesting and the lecturers make the lectures interactive.
It’s very convenient to get too via public transport. I’ve been here since college and it has enabled me to progress to university level without doing UCAS. We get kickstart funds to spend on campus or on items we may need. Student support is unreal!
It's very neat and clean and it has many places for private study. It can get very crowded with students in certain buildings.
Really helpful and engaging lectures Great location
Way of teaching, supporting studens
- Staff support is really good - There's alot of free space to study and also of seating areas - We have great opportunities from time to time - Food is also good at 2 of the campuses here.
More seating areas
It is the only university with the course I wanted to do and offers courses that even bigger unis won’t, the worst aspects are the campus and it not having much student spaces that aren’t always loud or busy and they don’t have many social events/ good societies
Student support is good. Can make the campus look a bit better
It’s very spacious but more chilling areas for sure


There is a lot of support for students. The location of the university is really good.
There are varied modules this is really good for future career.
