Good
Great support from staff for students
Good for culinary arts students placement opportunities, lots of practical classes and all
Good environment, student support, great wifi service, and helping nature. The things needed to be improved are first the wifi is not good and the campus is not as big as other university campus.
The facility of kitchen and lectures are really good
It may affect the grade
The lecturers and support teams are approachable and genuinely care about student success. Easy access to guidance makes studying much easier.
It was okay not bad. Wished they had more practical based courses in chef instead of academics.
University College Birmingham is great place to study at and has great student support.
Having lectures like Chef Schumacher & Chef Perry is the best thing ever.

Improved on the student union.
Good
No campus life , not so fun in uni although for my courses it’s one of the best uni and great facilities
Best experiences are that you get to learn from highly skilled people, furthering your education and learning tips and tricks others don’t know. You get the opportunity to excel in what you enjoy, what you want to do in the future, to make it how you want it to be. If I hadn’t come to university for this, I wouldn’t have learnt what I have, theory-wise and practically. Worst experiences are that it’s stressful, but that doesn’t stop me. Students who are inappropriate. But as for the course itself, nothing is bad. It’s a learning curve that we as students enjoy being on.
I have always had such a hard time in education with with staff not being supportive, not listening when I wanted to be listened to ans general support. Every single one of my lecturers and whichever staff I speak to had always been so kind, supportive and very helpful. The staff here have always made me feel supported and heard. One thing that could be improved is the people in room 200 at summer row tend to be very rude and not helpful with staff and students
Best - having the opportunity to use specialist equipment and ingredients to make a variety of products. Worst - feeling disconnected, not many society’s or activities for those not religious or sporty


The lecturers and module structures are great. Administration has caused me personally some stress and issues during my term time here
All the lecturers are great and have unique teaching styles that are easy to understand
It's very safe, and there's guild spaces for students to chill
