Lots of great support from the uni. Loads of career opportunities and extra curricular activities.
best- majority of the lectureres are good and helpfull. However module design is bad.
Its really nice.
Lecturers are very relatable and supportive. There is lots of support in place for exam revision and writing assignments. The campus has great resources and provides lots of areas in which to study.
Nice campus feel, modern and clean. Can be busy and hard to navigate. Location is helpful for living in student houses but roads nearby can be dangerous to cross. Student and academic support is helpful and well detailed. Timetables and room changes can be difficult on occasion.
It’s a good university but I wish there was better support for mental health. I have put in a request before for support but I never received it. I also feel the university is a little unorganised so i would say to improve on that.

My course is based on the city south campus, which is very out of the way from the main campus and the city centre, so there is very little student life, with the students union/most of the societies based at the main campus. The library services and the ADD department are very helpful, and the library is a great place to study. the Mental Health and Wellbeing team are also a really good resource that is easy to access.
I feel like I am at home it has been such an amazing last few years here, everyone is so helpful and there are so many facilities that come in handy.
I study at the art building, Margaret street I think the building is great and staff are lovely always at hand. However I think at Margaret street we don’t get as involved within the main campus maybe if this could be implemented more it would make art students comfortable to go to main campus and check out the facilities.
Best thing about BCU is that they helped me with my cv which allowed me to get good interviews. The worst thing is the food options in the capus shop.
The best part is that the university takes students seriously make makes sure we know what rights we have when thinking about work. One downside that could be improved is the amount of things available in the school of art. It sort of feels disconnected from the rest of the school and we don’t get that benefits of student life.
The campus is very well constructed and clean with modern architecture, it feels safe with having security around the area and on the barriers. The location is also good due to it only being a 15min walk from city centre so easy for students who are travelling into university.
Staff and lectures are engaging and interesting> being a neurodiverse student would welcome more support in my academic journey.
I struggle with studying and focusing and the teachers and students are so supportive and understanding and nothing is to much trouble I do think we could improve by student parking.
Best is that it feels like a family, everyone is so nice and friendly. Course is great. Worst is sometimes to busy.
The toilet facilities can be found dirty most of the times.
Lecturers are generally very caring of your wellbeing alongside studies. Everyone seems happy to help and there is support for any situation you’re in whether it’s financial or emotional. I’m currently in 3rd year and feel the support for post graduate careers is very thorough and makes me feel more at ease.
Nothing bad at all, really enjoy using facilities and student support. Really like the layout of the university and have met some amazing people on my course. I just love how much BCU is willing to help you with career choices, work opportunities, etc.
4.2
The most valuable aspect of studying at BCU is the exceptional support provided by the lecturers, not only in terms of academic guidance but also in helping students grow personally. However, there are significant issues with the enrolment process, student finance, and placement services. These areas need improvement, particularly in terms of efficiency and response times. Additionally, the support offered when resolving problems could be more effective and streamlined to better assist students.
The course schedule is well-structured in terms of timing and days, making it manageable and not too overwhelming. The lecturers are also responsive, generally getting back in a timely manner. However, there have been occasional problems with room assignments and timetable issues, which can sometimes cause confusion.
Queen's Hospital Close is a welcoming and friendly place that hosts fun events and fosters a strong sense of community by engaging with everyone. The people here are lovely, and the location is convenient—close to my university and the city centre. I feel safe and happy living here. The only minor issue is occasional maintenance problems, but they are typically resolved quickly.
