I love the uni. Everyone seem so engaged and passionate about it. In the beginning I was a bit concerned about how would I adapt to the uni life, but the lecturers and the whole team are very supportive and always ready to help.
All the classes are amazing, although we have one chef that is close to retirement so he don’t seem to be 100% engaged, but the rest of them are so passionate and willing to teach so it compensates.
The friendly environment and the teaching style. A vocational university that is top notch. Nothing to improve on that I know of as of now.
In terms of the work placement, I’d rather prefer if school give students student areas of where to work. For instance, aviation jobs are very limited from the hired department. Nonetheless, ucb is awesome in it’s taught program and lectures are amazing
It’s alright

Pros: - Academic Excellence: Highly rated University with strong reputation and the added value of a double certification with the University of Warwick. - Industry links: gives it students access to work placements, internships and graduate jobs guiding students through this process. - Facilities: UCB constantly invest in its facilities including the states of laboratories, studios, workshops and library. - Student Support: Wide range of support services specially for international students which makes the transition way less stressful. Cons: - Cost: Adding up the cost of university, living expenses, etc. Tends to be on the pricier side but worth it in the end. - Class schedule: Sometimes schedules can be a bit spread which makes it tiring but because is condensed on a couple of days is not that bad.
In my experience my lecturers so far have been lovely, very informative and dedicated to their jobs. They diversify their classes with different activities to keep the group attentive which makes easier pay attention during long hours.
The opportunity cost is good makes the a little high price worth, the condition of the buildings is good very well-kept. My only suggestion would be that sometimes some of the young staff working at the reception can be a bit rude with some students so maybe that's an area for improvement.
