Studying at UCB is amazing because it's right in the centre of Birmingham. There are lots of shops and fun activities you can do while you're not studying. The staff is very supportive and kind. The lecturers and personal tutors are amazing and they take their time to reach out to all their students individually. They make learning practical and give you a real life experience of how your work environment will be like. They have exhibition suites for Nursing students and classrooms that are designed like the inside of an airplane, which is AMAZING. The student guild is amazing and there are lots of different groups you can join that fit your interests. Everyone's culture and tradition is celebrated at UCB. Everyone is different which makes it an amazing place to study in because we learn about different cultures and their views and we are motivated to be our true selves.
The best part of my course is the practicals. I enjoy working with the programmed dolls and working in the wards because it gives me a view of how the hospital will look like.
Having a great college experience is about experiencing everything your campus has to offer. From events to new friends to incredible opportunities for academic exploration, my college campus provides a wealth of new experiences. Best thing is our university teacher focusing to polish our skills and teach us how to deal like professionals. They also have their hiring team which is best thing in the university for the needy students. They teach us to think critically and solve the problems. They are in high ranking they introduce moss house which is very helpful for us. As i new comer I haven’t seen worst things in the university but they have to improve their cafe area.

The accommodation is very close to the and both are right in around the city centre of Birmingham which is great. The facilities for my course and the uni in general are amazing. The lecturers are great and the tutors are always there if you need to ask anything. My only criticism is that I would prefer my placement to be after my second year rather than my first but overall the uni is really good.
All in perosn lectures which is good as well as the kitchen restaurant operations in which I learn about front of house. The CAD lessons also allows me to further improve my skills. The course hours allows me to be further educated in my study but also gives me time to study to work on assignments and to enjoy my social life.
Right in the centre of Birmingham which is great.
The en suite rooms are a nice touch and for the price overall in a city like Birmingham it allows me to not worry too much about not having enough money to enjoy uni life.
In my second year as a sports therapy student at University College Birmingham, I'm just four weeks into the term, and it's been a whirlwind of experiences. The Best Experience: One of the highlights so far has been my involvement in various clinical practices, like working with Rockets Basketball Team, the PGMOL (Professional Game Match Officials Limited), and the return-to-play clinic. It's been an amazing opportunity to put the knowledge I gained in my first year into action. I'm working directly with athletes, assessing their injuries, and even designing rehabilitation programs. The hands-on experience has been invaluable, and it's already broadening my skill set. Plus, it's a fantastic networking opportunity that I'm sure will benefit me in the future. I'm also loving the diverse and multicultural environment at the university. Interacting with peers from all over the world is eye-opening. Not only am I learning different perspectives on sports therapy, but I'm also making some great friends. It's an enriching experience that's making my time here at UCB more exciting and rewarding. The Worst Experience: On the flip side, this second year has come with some challenging moments. The workload has definitely increased. The demanding coursework, numerous assignments, and the hours spent in clinical settings have me feeling a bit overwhelmed at times. It's teaching me the importance of time management and resilience, though, and I'm sure these skills will serve me well in my future career. Then there's the weather. Coming from South Africa, I wasn't fully prepared for the British climate. The cold and damp conditions during the winter months have been a bit of a shock to my system. It's not a huge issue, but it does make the adjustment to life in Birmingham a bit more daunting. Overall, these first four weeks of my second year have already been packed with challenges and opportunities. I can't wait to see how the rest of the year unfolds as I continue to grow as a sports therapy student here at UCB.
I absolutely love my sports therapy course at University College Birmingham. The quality of the program and the resources available are outstanding. The curriculum is well-structured and comprehensive, providing me with a solid foundation in sports therapy. The professors are not only knowledgeable but also approachable and supportive. They make sure we understand the material and encourage us to explore the field further. The resources available at the university are top-notch. We have access to cutting-edge facilities, well-equipped labs, and a rich library with an extensive collection of sports therapy literature. It's impressive to see how committed the university is to providing us with everything we need to excel in our studies. The practical experiences I've gained so far, including working with professional teams and clinical practices, have been incredibly valuable. It's a testament to the university's dedication to providing real-world exposure to complement our theoretical knowledge. Overall, I'm passionate about this course and grateful for the quality of education and resources at my disposal. It's setting me up for success in my future career as a sports therapist, and I can't wait to see what the rest of my second year and beyond will bring.

The school has very good student services. With many students societies to take part is which is just wow. On top of that there is very much diversity which makes me able to make friends with different people and know their culture. The faculty teachers are really great they will never stop explaining until we understand.
On mondays and Tuesdays we have full day in college, where we're are with lecturers all day. They are really polite and patient with the students. They are happy to answer any of our queries. Except for class times as well, if we have any course related problems or any things we are having hard time coping with the lecturers are always there for us giving their ear to listen to them and give their helps or advice needed.
The whole city is very much diverse and which is very great as we will be able to learn many new cultures. On top of that my university is in the heart of the city thanks to which I will be access all the amenities. And the city itself is quite affordable to stay in.
