It’s such a great place to study and develop other skills along with academic curriculum. Enjoying a lot here in UCB and looking forward for future endeavours.
So far uni life has been a good and enjoyable experience and now just getting used to the student aspect too.
I think UCB did a really good job in helping me settle into Birmingham moving from London. The student Union/ guild did look, however there aren’t many clubs that have my interest. The campus looks modern and the kitchens are great.
Excellent

Great uni in the city centre. Wonderful location. Extraordinary facilities and lecturers.
We do have some great facilities but I believe it’s cherry picked for certain courses.
Good
It is very close to the city centre. However, the student’s union should be advertised more.
improving our skills
Facilities are good
4.4
The facilities are good and the support is good as of right now. It could be improved by the campus size, it is quite crowded when there are college students.
The contact hours and course hours are good, lecturers are helpful and are easy to contact. Some lecturers, however, aren't as easy to communicate with and can be difficult to get resources out of. I have asked for the recipes whilst in Kitchen and Restaurant Production so I can plan beforehand and choose recipes for our station rotations, after 5 weeks, we still haven't gotten access to them. The recipes (in the formerly mentioned course) themselves are not grammatically correct, instructions are vague and lecturers tend to give out different instructions. It makes working very difficult when the instructions don't actually tell you what you have to do. There are only two instructing chefs in this course so their workload is heavy for our class, so having the recipes (that are properly edited) would be helpful for both the students and instructors. We also shouldn't be reprimanded by the head chef (especially when it's our first time on that station) if instructions are unclear and guidance is not given.
The uni accommodation is overall good, location is good and facilities are good. I would just wish we could adjust the timers on the radiators as it does turn off in the middle of the night and I do wake up mid sleep freezing.
