Most of the staff are very friendly and are there if you need them. The uni is quite inclusive as they have a prayer room and purification facilities which makes you feel comfortable.
Best- good education Worst-a lot of repetition when it comes to topics covered in graduate advantage
Best experience in uni was giving us the opportunity to start our culinary industry skills, being able to see what it would have felt like. Worst experience might be is that we weren’t given a good amount of time in the kitchen but I’d understand considering it’s a management programme
Lots of engagement from UCB Great lecturers and classmates x
Some lecturers are absolutely amazing to learn from, and work with, but I wish some were more open to international students voicing their opinions and concerns.
Student and lecture engagement is well appreciated. Literature and well-being support are provided. Probably the location and safety of the facility
Student life and student union need to be improve
Doesn’t feels like a great place to study
There is no campus life in the uni
The teaching is fulfilling and meaningful, it really helped me understand the greater side behind culinary arts. The lecturers are fun and they really do care about us.
We can get whatever we want reasonably. The accommodation may a bit far away from the campus/ teaching area.
The campus life is a bit dead bcoz of the student union
Everything was good
University College Birmingham offers a supportive and career-focused learning environment, with lecturers who bring real industry experience and genuinely care about student development. The campus is modern, well-equipped, and easy to navigate, and the smaller class sizes make it feel personal and friendly. UCB also provides excellent practical facilities for vocational and specialist courses, along with great support services ranging from academic help to wellbeing. While communication between departments can sometimes be a bit slow and some facilities get busy during peak times, the overall experience is welcoming, hands-on, and highly focused on preparing students for real-world careers.
Left and came back 10 years later after my foundation degree, this is to enhance my knowledge and skills in my field as things change with time.
