*Students got a small reward for their timeNepali society
Lecturers are outstanding. A safe environment. Respectful. Staff are approachable helpful and understanding.
Peaceful environment around university is the main reason which makes UCB best place to study. I found that some student here smoke inside the building which should be prohibited completely it triggered fire alarm which affected our course which we were taking at the he moment. Vaping materials should be checked and should be banned.
The lecturers are very engaging, they constantly help us no matter how big or small our questions may be. The buildings themselves are quite lovely, they are bright, clean, and colourful. The classes themselves are set in a warm and inviting way which makes engagement easier. The students are all lovely and wonderful to work with aswell. The lessons are given in a manner which are easy to understand even for student who may struggle with English and lecturers are happy to explain further if needed. There is a lot fo support around for assignments, with the case team and your lecturers. Extra bridging sessions are also helpful for us new students. Older students often come and talk to us about their own experiences in the university and also are able give advice. Overall it is a lovely university.

UCB is a great place to study because it offers strong student support, practical and career-focused courses, and modern facilities that help students gain real-world experience. The university values student feedback, ensuring a positive learning environment. Its location in the lively and multicultural city of Birmingham also gives students access to diverse opportunities, social experiences, and part-time jobs, making student life both enjoyable and rewarding.
I don’t have nothing to say I am I am happy. I am a new student it’s difficult to say it
The best thing about the university the stuff are very kind
1. Career-/industry-focused programs UCB is widely praised for shaping courses around practical, real-world skills. For example: Their hospitality, food & service, tourism and related programmes emphasise hands-on learning in professional-style kitchens, mock-hospital wards, aviation suites and so on. The institution has strong links with industry, meaning placements, internships or work-experience are embedded or very accessible. If your goal is to graduate and go straight into employment (especially in vocational fields), that is a major plus. 2. Well-regarded student support & facilities Their student support services (academic help, well-being, international student support) are well reviewed. For example, the dedicated service “The Link” is a one-stop place for many support needs. Modern facilities: UCB has training kitchens, test-beds, good location in Birmingham city centre (which gives access to transport, shops, nightlife) – all of which contribute to a lively student environment. This means that as a student you’re likely to feel supported and have access to relevant infrastructure. 3. Student satisfaction & recognition UCB reported very high student-satisfaction figures in past years: In one earlier survey, 87% of final-year undergraduates said they were satisfied with their courses. It was shortlisted for student-choice awards in several categories including teaching quality, student support, facilities. So many students report positive experiences. 4. Diverse student cohort & location advantages The student body is culturally diverse: students from 60+ countries at UCB. Birmingham as a student city: being in the city centre means easier access to public transport, more affordable cost (vs London), and a strong social/student life. These are good for making friends, networking, balancing studies.
University college Birmingham is a great place to study as it a great amount of student support and teacher supports and the teachers are very thorough in what they expect of you and how they can help you with any questions you may ask. They also have facilities to make student lives easier. So far I don’t have any bad aspects of my university experience.
The best thing about the university is that it is so supportive . It supports us with everything from study stuff to mental well being. The lecturers are great, skilled , kind and supportive.
The lectures are really lovely and we get the best feed back from lectures am a new student international but I felt confident and well fit in in my first week
I wish there was a few more sports club , or just small courts in general for certain sports like tennis and badminton, for to refresh your mind by the end of the day . Also i wish the guild replies a bit early sometimes.
I don’t have anything bad to say to be honest I’m liking it here so far.
The support is great here!
Love it here
