University of Birmingham
speciality: International Business

The university respects the culture and background of their highly diverse student. It carters to everybody’s need and puts its student first.
It tries to the make the student feel at home and helps them deal with the university life.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my 2nd year at the University of Birmingham and I have benefitted from a wealth of modules and expertise. The time has genuinely flown by.

The canvas pages could be a bit easier to follow.

The careers team have also been fantastic and I’ve had a lot of great opportunities including going to the women of the year awards, which I am really thankful for.

A personal touch is added to the UOB business course as a business student I receive personal support from the teachers. The lectures are clear and concise, promoting further understanding through evidence in our marketing books and this is furthered by the great communication skills of our lecturers. Providing support to us students through developed accurate understanding from their explanations in lecturers and their responses they provide. However, the course does not offer alternative support for students who struggle with the English language, meaning that there is still room for improvement in developing teaching through other methods such as visual rather than linguistically to help provide further accurate understanding in the marketing lecture

The outline is very transparent and easy to follow. Lecturers are friendly and helpful throughout the program. I would have preferred the courses to:

a. either have one or two forms of assessment
b. Create an extension of the course to 2 years.

Both suggestions are to create a less bulky and crammed program. This would ameliorate students performance greatly and enable them to gain access or experience before graduation.

Studying at the University of Birmingham is the best opportunity I’ve ever had. From the first day, I felt that all professors and coordinators always wanted to help us as students. Moreover, the quality of the academic content is very competitive and helps you to reach a more real-life job approach, in addition to all the job opportunities they bring to you. The Careers open days helped me to meet important companies and to make networking for my near future. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to grow academically and personally!
