Level 3 Computing

University rating (5)

Overall, I can say I've had only positive experiences since I joined the uni last September. Safeguarding is in place, and within my course I receive maximum support. One thing that needs improvement is the student services team needs to respond to email/ chat inquiries and other student issues on time or as soon as possible as most student issues are important and they need to be resolved on time.

Aesthetic Practitioner Top-up BA (Hons)

University rating (4)

The best aspects of my uni experience is meeting new people and making new friends. Also, the teachers and people here are positive and helpful. Have access to good support from teachers, facilities, resources, library, DICE etc which are really helpful. What makes it a great place to study is that there are libraries and computer rooms for if you need any support with something or need to get your work done, and also little spots, like areas inside the university thats are very quiet and relaxing to do extra study. As for the worst aspects of my uni experience, I would say that there is too much information taught and therefore is rather hard and complex to understand. It could be improved by including more group or team activities and less slides but more discussing and explaining the work to gain better knowledge and understanding of the modules taught making it easier to complete all assignments and work.

Level 3 T-level digital production design and development

University rating (5)

Studying at University College Birmingham (UCB) has been an enriching experience, offering a practical and hands-on approach to learning. The institution's emphasis on practical education, particularly in T-levels, has provided students with valuable real-world experience and skills. Moreover, UCB fosters a supportive academic community, with approachable teachers who have valuable industry experience. The smaller class size allows for more personalised interactions between students and teachers, creating a conducive learning environment. UCB's location in Birmingham is very advantageous, providing me with numerous networking opportunities. The university's strong ties with businesses and organizations facilitate valuable work placements, enabling me and others to build a strong professional network and gain practical insights into their fields of study. However, the limited range of extracurricular activities restricts my overall experience as I am unable to socialise and network as much as I'd like to. In conclusion, UCB's practical approach to education, it's supportive academic community, and strong industry connections have so far provided me with a valuable foundation for my learning and future career.

Honestly, UCB as an all rounder are a very supportive uni. From lectures to , student well-being to finance issues , they respond quickly and there is always a helping hand. Ucb cafe/ moss house and all the food spots are really good and the student discount s and attention to different celebrations like Ramadan, black history month, Christmas etc is nice to see on campus.
