It’s a lovely campus and very nice teachers
Studying here has been an amazing experience and it is very diverse yet incisive.it feels like home away from home.
A personal review giving about the university environment is good, peaceful and enjoyable
I am a public health student at Birmingham City University. BCU has one of the best education systems specially for international student. they understand the needs of student coming from developing countries.
Great campus facilities and study areas. The library and laptop loan services are fantastic. Professors are welcoming and helpful. I would have liked more outside and exterior campus facilities and areas to study.
As a first year student in Birmingham City University, I would like to admit that I would honestly recommend this university to anyone looking for quality education, reliable WiFi, career support, quality and easily accessible facilities and an inclusive environment, to mention a few. Not to leave behind the monitoring, guidance, regular check-ins and support given to
Very nice campus for students with excellent faith space facilities
The library has outstanding facilities and resources, and it has both a quiet space and a collective space. The classes have a small ratio of teachers to students, which makes students active and engaged. The outdoor park outside of University is peaceful and beautiful to relax during the summer or break time. The students' union and careers service are devoted and dedicated to enhancing students' experiences. The lecturers have strong debate skills and effective teaching style.
Very nice campus, career meetings are good WiFi normally amazing but more information should be given about societies
foods alright and there is good seating but there is a lack of faculty support
BCU is great the teachers are fantasic and i am in second year loving it
All the things pretty much perfect but wifi mainly get disconnected after some time
This university is amazing at providing facilities for student to use to engage in active learning, I love the building design it looks so Morden and elegant

Very good experience as a international student.
The university seems good, but definitely needs to manage timetables and the assessment process for medical engineering students. Administrators need to add more lectures to accommodate student queries.

Uni experience has been a bit iffy
Wonderful University and friendly people !
Teachers are friendly and the environment is good. I enjoy it at BCU
The module I expected for my course is available at my university, and both the module leader and course leader are very approachable. Additionally, the campus provides all the essential amenities needed for my course.
I enjoy my stay at canvas!! I love all the events they do it creates a community in this residence and it makes me feel so much connected to people, kerry makes me feel so welcomed and is so friendly This helps me feel happier since being away from home, feeling like there is a community helps my homesickness and im glad i chose this place i fully recommend as a international student this little things make it feel like home

Good uni with friendly people and friendly staff and good facilities and food
The staff was really helpful. My overall stay is perfect
Every thing is good, I have a good experience
My experience at this university has been alright I don’t not have many complaints
BCU is a great place to study, with lots of opportunities to help shape your future. There are plenty of study spaces, and the 24-hour library is an absolute lifesaver during busy times. They also have tons of tools to help improve your assignments, and any issues are usually sorted out pretty quickly. The only downside is the WiFi and phone service—it can be pretty bad across some campuses, which can be frustrating. But overall, the uni offers a solid experience with lots of support to help you succeed.
i love the campus it’s always clean and the lectures are quite informative the staff are great
I have enjoyed my time in BCU as we have great computer labs and apps that specifically aid what I need to pass my course and Im certain there is something to aid everyone in their course!
My experience at BCU has been very good so far, although it is hard for me to give a valid review of the university as my course (Stage Management) mostly does not take place on the main campus and those on the course do not interact much with people outside of it. Nevertheless, the Stage Management course itself is very practical and well constructed, and the facilities for it are great, if a little too far spread out over the city.
Really happy with my university, professors are great and the help you get from the university in any service needed is excellent and helpful always.
love this university - amazing support for students, lovely campus and really enjoying my course
Good uni, made loads of friends and lots of events on offer
Will structured course and supportive
the university offers lots of opportunities for students to learn about their themselves and they have good support systems to help with people struggling
Love the uni. The staff are nice and willing to assist
I have had a good experience at the University. Very accommodating members of staff and outside of academics a really great social scene with societies.
Very good university all round although some of the facilities and equipment are not very reliable.
Very good to study at with a effective support network
Good experience here and good campus
The university is great for my course, BA(Hons) Criminology, and the teaching is great. The uni itself it’s modern and usually clean. I would recommend this university for someone who likes living in the city
Such a lovely, clean and modern campus with so many well run facilities
The campus is quite average not much of a campus. Facilities aren’t really there as well, the university doesn’t even have their own gym.
Decent experience really. Staff are generally helpful, the campus is clean and well-maintained.
I had an amazing experience studying here
The environment at TOYBOX is very good, and the staff are also very good. Any problems can be resolved in a timely manner, and there are also many activities provided to us, which creates a great atmosphere. Overall, living here is very comfortable.
BCU is a great university! It’s been so fun so far
Ala (the manager) is nice she helps me a lot in the heights.
very good！！The front desk is very friendly and the repair speed is very fast. The geographical location is very convenient for commuting to and from school.
the university itself was one of the best decision i ever took but the thing that also made it a bad choice was career service as there is no real help from the career service
BCU is an okay university with some strengths, but there are areas that need improvement. The campus facilities are generally decent, and the teaching quality is satisfactory across most courses. However, some basic amenities could use attention. For instance, the WiFi can be unreliable, which can be frustrating when trying to access online resources or participate in virtual classes. Additionally, the toilets across campus could be better maintained. On the whole, BCU is a reasonable place to study, but enhancing these facilities would greatly improve the student experience.
Great uni, great experience. Staff are easy to talk to and uni provides a lot of facilities for students. Always clean and up to date,
Uni has been okay, my department can be a bit lazy with uploading lecture slides, but overall not bad.
Good wifi however some technical issues during periods which is to be expected, do receive regular communication regarding this which is excellent. Campus facilities amazing on site shops and restaurants which make the student experience more pleasant.
The campus is absolutely stunning! A beautiful place to study in with an amazing faculty, helpful professors and staffs, with a really diverse community! It has surpassed all of my expectations for sure!
