University rating (5)

Best aspects: - Great opportunities to work in the kitchen and gain practical experience - Excellent facilities and resources - Supportive lecturers who are willing to help students perform their best - Strong reputation for studying hospitality and tourism - Inspirational lectures, tutorials, and seminars - Good location with lots of things to do and eat, and lots of transport links Worst aspects: - Not listed on any university league tables - High turnover of staff - Some negative reviews regarding the university - Low emission location - Lack of clarity on the timetable - No childcare on campus - Nursing students have four study days a week, which may be too much for some - Could benefit from more study weeks or breaks after placement to reduce the chance of burnout. Overall, the University College Birmingham experience seems to be positive, with supportive lecturers, excellent facilities, and great opportunities for practical experience. However, there are some areas for improvement, such as the lack of clarity on the timetable and the need for more breaks after placement.

Enterprise Management MSc/PGDip

University rating (5)

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.
