This is my first month studying at the University of Birmingham, and everything feels new to me. Almost every day, the university and student societies organize various activities, training sessions, and sharing events—some free, some paid. Participating in these events is a great way to relax after studying. Moreover, the campus and its surroundings are quite pleasant, making it ideal for walking around when there are no classes. I think it’s a great option for those who enjoy tranquility (and with convenient transportation facilities available). read more

The internet is good but sometimes stops working which is difficult when you cannot get service in some study areas. Careers service is good but it is difficult to get in contact with specifics. Clubs are good and campus is pretty read more

Studying at the University of Birmingham has been a refreshing experience — it’s a place that genuinely encourages you to think independently and find your own path. I especially appreciate how approachable the professors are and how diverse the student community is. Every class pushes me to look at problems from a new angle, and the campus itself has such a calm, inspiring atmosphere. For me, coming here wasn’t just about studying Financial Data Science — it’s about learning how to grow in a completely new environment, to challenge myself, and to find a sense of belonging in the process. read more

i’ve really enjoyed my time at UOB so far! the campus is beautiful in all seasons and it’s so close to the city without actually being in the city. most of the lecturers are great and always willing to help or answer questions. there’s lots of study spaces on campus, some silent, some where you can talk/eat which is nice. there are computers and printers around campus and the wifi always works well. they have a free careers network and wellbeing service although i haven’t used either very much so cant really comment on how effective they are. read more

Amazing Experience Already! Even though I’ve only been at the University of Birmingham for two weeks, I’m genuinely impressed. The campus is modern with excellent facilities and interactive classrooms. The teaching style is engaging, and the staff are very supportive. What I love most is the career support—there are constant workshops, networking events and guidance that make you feel future-ready. Student life is vibrant with lots of activities and societies, and the campus feels safe and welcoming to walk around. Overall, it’s a perfect combination of strong academics, opportunities, and community. I’m really proud to be part of UoB! read more
