Opinion: In my opinion the unversity is exceptionally good, they offer amazing recourses and study support, mental health support and everything you think of. the cultural diverse is very good, you meet many different people from different race, colour, age, background, countries and they are all so lovely. The university also offers and creates events for all backgrounds cultural and religion belief celebrations which I dearly like.
Like: the cultural diverse, events and study support/resources and also kick start funds, for extra support.
Dislike: I would just say to have better accommodation rooms and free student parking areas around the campuses.
Would you recommend: yes I would highly recommend, as the diverse is amazing, lectures are great, the events are amazing, the support system and its also a great location.

I studies Digital Marketing at University College Birmingham from 2019-2022. Overall I would say that the course itself was excellent and has a range of different aspects of the digital marketing industry included in it. I also thought that the facilities were excellent particularly in my final year when a new campus was opened.

However, my degree was completed during the pandemic which meant i spent half my degree working from home and half of it face-to-face. I found that during this time the university’s faults were highlighted. For example, i found that they gave students very little information about our future studies until last minute despite other universities making descions and informing students much earlier. I also found that during this time very little support was given to students at a time when we needed it the most. Support was given when face-to-face before the pandemic so why should this support stop when everybody is forced to work remotly?

To conclude, UCB should’ve focused on adapting not just their way of teaching, but how to support students as it would’ve helped students so much more in such a challenging time. Despite this though UCB’s main strengths are their course content and facilities. Once they become more adaptable in all areas they will be a 5 star University thats for sure.

I am an international student who came from nepal to get education here. I have met new people and new friends. The teachers have been very helpful and are always teaching me new stuff. The university here i very nice and there is always new stuff to learn
