Professional Chef FdA

University rating (5)

The university has a variety of outstanding facilities across all its departments, for example the airplane cabin for the hospitality & tourism students, the many well equipped kitchens and the restaurant for the cookery students and many more. The student services and financial teams are very helpful, supportive and fantastic at accommodating! The one thing that needs improving would be the meal support allowance, this is not enough for a proper meal, you can usually only get a sandwich, not even a drink to go with it and definitely not any hot food.

Physiotherapy BSc (Hons)

University rating (4)

This University is in a good location for students to access. The buildings are modern and comfortable to use. There are alot of amazing clubs to join, which could be a struggle to decide how to split ones time between all the fantastic opportunities on offer. Kick start is a brilliant idea and really helps out broadly across university financial demands, from uniforms, books, food and more. The staff are very supportive and approachable. The support does not stop at the lecturing staff, as there are a wide range of carefully thought through facilities and programmes to help students where they need support or advice. There is much diversity in the canteens, lots of flavours to excite any pallet. There are services on offer to students, to include hair dressing and beauty treatments, skin care, physiotherapy, massage and foods prepared and provided by university students. The university's approach to 'being inclusive of all students needs and requirements' may not be as sensitive as it should be and adjustments do need to be made, but the university is aware that they cant get everything right first time, all the time, so offer a place for concerns, comments and suggestions. There are student unions available where these issues can be raised on behalf of the students. A positive approach to negative situations!

The campus at University College Birmingham is modern and has a good atmosphere. The quality of teaching and education at University College Birmingham is excellent. The teachers are very friendly and motivated. This is my first year and I also don’t know how to referencing in assignments but they guide me properly and I can do it now so easily. And also the location of the university is quite better place, Birmingham is generally considered safe, with safety levels comparable to other major UK cities

My best experience was starting out, I was constantly overwhelmed by the feeling of maturity and was amazed by the great facilities in the buildings. My worst would be finishing late and that’s it
