University College Birmingham - UCB Speciality : Tourism & Hospitality
programme: Culinary Arts

There are good bits and bad bits of the university.
The good bits are that subjects are actually quite interesting. Depending on your course of course they change, but if you are doing MA inCulinary Arts Management. My personal favourite is Culinary Innovation Product Development. It is basically where we creat our own product which can be sold in stores and restaurants. Other than that, we also have subjects that are based on accounting and finance too. There is one subject which helps in understanding how to basically manage an operation. If someone is into HR and some subjects like that, we have got subjects that cover up that as well. The professors are really nice.
The bad bits:
The assignments, they change their format whenever a new batch shows up. So it is quite tough for a new batch to understand how to do the assignments. The dates for their submissions can fall in the week or even days, so it does become tough to handle them. The u-search, which is a part of their academic website, which they say we can use it to search books, is not very useful. Most of the books I have looked for, I couldn’t find them. The professors are not always very clear with their answers. As in they will beat around the bush and not will always be direct.

It’s an interesting and exciting program, classes are quite spacious, teachers are very helpful but very quick to get angry haha the school looks very nice. However, it lacks a certain university experience, maybe because I have been to another university for my undergrad and I have something to compare it to. But overall it is a great place. Would recommend the school either way.
