Sort:Latest reviewsI enjoy going to a smaller university in which classes and groups are smaller so it has been easy to get to know my classmates and lecturers over the course of my degree. It is in the perfect location in the city and has made me feel like a part of the life of central Birmingham. The finance support is good with the money they are offering to new students, it would have been helpful for us but the kickstart scheme has been a helpful addition.
Very friendly environment, the smaller class sizes help for more support from the lecturers. Very central site. Really good theory and practical balance- with an excellent bakery and its equipment
Best: Helpful lecturers who are easy to contact to ask for support with assignments, the location of the university is amazing as it's in the city centre of Birmingham, the food options are very tasty, the practical lessons are very involved and interesting to learn about and the class atmosphere is always pleasant. Worst: Recently downgraded the student library to a much smaller building which has affected motivation to do coursework.
The change in the library wasn't the best idea. It's smaller and less areas to study. Even though surveys and feedback have been asked for more study tables in the library, nothing been done unfortunately. Therefore I have to study else where.
University has helped me to build self-confidence and independence. It has also given me plenty of opportunities to make new friends and explore new surroundings whilst living in a new country and being away from home.
Staff are all very knowlegeable on their subjects and very helpful. The facilities are great and are regularly being updated
I don't like that they moved the library. Other than that, a very good university.
The library has moved off campus and isn't as good.
The library used to be a lot better. It is now very limited, with little space The bakery facilities are very good, with a range of ovens, mixers etc Small groups to have personable lectures and relationships
The fact that university students have to go to the college building for some lectures is what could be improved in my opinion.
The worst are that it reminds me more of a college then a university and we have to share the same lockers as the college students . Also there is no communication between the lecturers and they are never clear especially about the assignments.I fell like we should have more time in clinic to do practical and learn the theory before the clinic .
Nice to see my tutor from years ago when I was in college. Nice and clean campus Subjects are very interesting. The enrolment stage wasn’t the best while waiting for the finance to complete and enrolling late and the reminder emails of payment. More models need to be available especially for people who can’t bring anyone in who lives far a last minute decision on us being able to work on each other from different groups isn’t helpful
Good location and facilities
UCB has been helpful so far in every aspect.
Location is good fairly close to all stations, student support is good with lots of options to book in with, such as case and the library. However having lots of younger students within the same building of the aesthetics clinic is not ideal when there are lots of mature students studying aesthetics.
Good location, the uni provides discount codes for car parks which is very helpful.
Good support with assignment and library support Bad experience with receptionist and booing in clinic
