Birmingham City University
speciality: Law

In my 3 years of studying my degree I thoroughly enjoyed being at BCU. From great staff with whom I have made great connections, to endless societies in which I have made some friends for life, BCU has rounded me so much. The student experience has been great and there are always so many opportunities career and degree wise to help you with your future career. My only issue with BCU was my tutor support.. where was it? I had no information on who my tutor was, let alone ever hearing from anyone in regards to tutor meetings. There was also issues every term in getting timetables uploaded on time, I would argue this was the biggest BCU blunder. Timetables being given out with less than a week’s notice is not okay, this wouldn’t be acceptable in employment so how is it acceptable to subject students to this? Overall the campus was good, always clean and plenty of study spaces available. It would have gained another star if only there was a train station closer to the campus.

Birmingham is one of the biggest cities in the UK with various of opportunities for students. There is amazing food for starters and so many activities to do. The university provides students with support with financial difficulties, mental health issues and they even offer opportunities for courses to have placements or job opportunities!

This university is very helpful in terms of assisting you in graduate prospects through career . The workspaces are very useful and the 24/7 library allows students to reach full potential with their extensive resources. The personal tutors are also helpful, they guide you and give u personal one to one advice.

The infrastructure is top notch. The buildings are big, modern and sleek. This makes you feel like you’re in an impressive educational instituion that invests in it’s students and takes it seriously.

The people here are in general nice people and they are kind. Most people want to get their heads down and do somehting with their lives which always helps to motivate you.

The city of Birmingham is great and there’s always something to do. There are a lot of young people and you’re bound to meet someone you get along with.
