Great service here! The staff is very kind and helpful.
Thank for your review! We are very happy to hear that you have enjoyed our teaching - ensuring that students are heard and assisted with any issues that may arise is a priority of the university and it seems like, thankfully, this has shone through!
Birmingham city university is a place where you feel like home especially with uni staff, as an international student I feel like I'm not alone
Thank for your review! We are very happy to hear that you have enjoyed the support our staff offer. We are always keen to make sure our students feel welcome and supported.
Excellent university in every possible way. Outstanding professors and staff. Beautiful campus and facilities. Offers several social activities both for academic and non academic purposes. Great student support.
Thank you so much for your review and your kind words! Making students feel comfortable and cared for is our number one priority, and we're very glad that this intention came through clearly in our academic and social support!
I think our campus is very good. very beautiful. But because of COVID-19, I have no social this year. Th wifi is just so so.The career service is good, I receive many email regarding the career service
Thank you for your review! We're very happy to hear that you have enjoyed your experience on our campus and our careers service. The absence of socials this year has been regretful, but we are hoping to build back better over the coming months, so do check out our on-campus, socially-distanced activities if you have the chance!
Campus is beautiful. Medical school is really good with good facilities. The wifi could be better but this is excusable!
Thanks for your review! We're very pleased that you like our facilities and that you've enjoyed studying at the medical school with us! The wi-fi is a common comment that we are always working to improve, so we will take your feedback on board!
It is really a perfect apartment that gives me a homecoming experience. I met a lot of friends here and my neighbors are all very friendly and warmhearted. We built snowmen in the yard, which was our best memory during the lockdown.
Thanks for your review! It's been a rotten year, but we're so happy to hear that you were happy with your accomodation and that you have been able to take away some fond memories!
A great and genuine University focused on quality of study and welfare of its students.
Thank you for your review. We are happy you have found our services satisfactory. /Sadegh
The University internet is bad
We're sorry that you're not satisfied with the quality of the internet service provided at our University. We are constantly trying to improve our services, and, as I understand, we have recently had a review of our internet services. We hope we'll be able to offer better provisions as soon as possible. /Sadegh
I have not been able to use any of the facilities much due to covid
Hi! Thank you for your review! We are sorry to hear that you have not been able to make the most of your time due to the Covid restrictions accross the UK which, unfortunately, have also greatly impacted the student life at our campus in Birmingham. The University has closelly followed the Government's recommendations and we have made everything possible to limit the negative impact on students'learning and social life experiences while at the same time keeping them safe. We are genuinely hoping that the phased campus reopening would allow our students to make the most of their time at the University and enjoy sports, the 'Spring into Summer' Festival as well as our beautiful campus. Please do not hesiste to contact us at pg@contacts.bham.ac.uk should you have further recommendations. We would be also very happy to answer any questions you might have about prospective further studies at the University of Birmingham. Kind regards, Yordanka
bad for my mental health and little help, have ttired to help as best they can but commnication is often poor
We're very sorry that your mental health has suffered while studying at our University. We have dedicated well-being officers and support networks, but we understand that there is still much to improve. We are constantly trying to improve our communications, and this has been addressed in many meetings at various levels at the University. /Sadegh
I would choose different uni. like manchester or bristol
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review of our University. We are sorry to hear that you would have chosen a different university. We appreciate any feedback from our students in order to offer them an enriching learning and social experience. The University of Birmingham is a world top 100 university and our students have the chance to be part of a diverse international community. We offer a wide variety of both Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses as well as many opportunities for our students to take part in over hundreds of different sports and societies. Our students could equally benefit from the student support which is always there when they need it even in these challenging times. Please do not hesitate to contact us at pg@contacts.bham.ac.uk if you have any further recommendations and suggestions. Kind regards, Yordanka
didn’t really get to go in campus.
Hello! Thank you for taking the time to review our University. We are sorry to hear that you have not had the chance to explore our beautiful campus. At the University of Birmingham, we strongly believe that our students'university experience is not just about studying. This is why we attribute a great importance to our Library facilities, Accommodation services for both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as to our Guild of students. Unfortunately, since the outbreak of the global pandemic, the University has been forced to impose social distancing measures and much of the teaching and learning has been moved online in order to keep students safe and healthy. However, we are hoping that with the gradual lifting of the social distancing measures accross the UK, we would be able to return back to normal. This is why we have introduced a phased campus reopening and we are hoping to welcome back on campus our students for the "Spring into Summer" Festival. Please do not hesitate to contact us at: pg@contact.bham.ac.uk if you have further recommendations. Kind regards, Yordanka
I have completed a Master's and a PGDipEd course at the University of Birmingham and am very happy with it! The campus is beautiful and the uni has a great reputation for a reason. I really enjoyed my time at UoB and can 100% recommend studying there!
Thank you so much for your review! It is fantastic to hear that you enjoyed your course and your student axperience at our university! We are really proud of our campus and the chance it offers to students to discover new experiences, develop different skills and make friends for life. It really means a lot for us that you recommend the University of Birmingham to other students who are considering enrolling at a top ranked and an ambitious global university where students can study and interact with peers from all over the world. Best regards, Yordanka
If you're looking for a campus-based University, the University of Birmingham is just for you. There's lots of greenery, diversity and, openness as well!
Thank you for your delightful review. We're constantly trying to make the University greener, more diverse, and more open! /Sadegh
It is a very good university. Although I did not have a thorough look at the whole university due to the epidemic, the school attaches great importance to the mentality and learning level of students
Thank you for your great review! We're happy that you found our professional and academic standards satisfactory. We're also sorry that your experience of the campus was interrupted and restricted by the pandemic. We are always trying to ensure that we provide students with the best level of support possible, and we have been consistently trying to minimise the impact of the pandemic in that regard. /Sadegh

The university of Birmingham is a top 100 university
Hello! Thank you for your review. Yes, the University is in the top 100 in the world and top 15 in the UK! You can find our rankings here.
The school environment is fantastic and the teachers are very responsible. It is a good school
Hello! Thank you for your lovely review, we are so glad you like it here. Lauren
I studied the distance learning MATESOL course with Birmingham and would definitely not recommend it. I had a fantastic tutor and she helped me a lot throughout the master's, but their online programme only consists of articles that you should read for each module and videos of no longer than 4 minute for each unit. Many of the recommended readings aren't in the e-library and you have to look for them yourself. The support you get while writing the dissertation is almost non-existent. However, the university is very quick to catch any mistake you might commit. The university accused me of plagiarism for using the wrong technique in referencing, which I now understand was wrong, but throughout the 2 years of my studies, I was using the same wrong technique (without knowing so) and was never corrected. At the end, the university concluded that I was guilty of plagiarism and refused admitting its part in having no support from the supervisor and wrongfully grading my assignments for 2+ y

We are sorry to hear that you consider the anti-plagiarrism resources insufficient and your feedback is relevant for us. Best regards, Yordanka
I honestly don’t see myself in any school but the great University of Birmingham. The tutors at the school of Education are of top tier quality and I’m proud to be a “soon to be alumnus” of this world class institution
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted that you've found our University a world-class institution. /Sadegh

I enjoyed my time on campus at the University of Birmingham, but unfortunately Covid cut that time quite short.
Hi, Thank you very much for leaving a review! Unfortunately due to the Covid-19 pandemic we have had to limit activities on campus and provide online teaching and learning opportunities instead. As the situation improves we can't wait to be able to welcome current and new students back to our beautiful campus! Best wishes, Emma
Great university, lovely campus and friendly people
Thank you so much for leaving your review! I am so pleased to hear you're having a great experience! - Emma
Soooooo good! It’s lucky to choose TB. Especially the reception, really nice!
Thank you so much for leaving a review! I am glad you liked the reception. Yasmin
University of Birmingham is quite good! The teachers are all very nice and very helpful. I can ask them any questions and they are willing to help me and encourage me!
Thank you so much for your review! It's great to hear your having a positive experience and feeling supported in your learning! -Emma
Due to the COVID , we not really can enjoy all the things in school. But it’s really a beautiful school with nice view.
Thank you very much for leaving this review. Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions we have had to limit some activities in order to keep everyone safe. We're really proud of our beautiful campus and can't wait to get back to it and all of our university in person activities as soon as it's safe to do so. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time studying here! -Emma
havent get a chance to visit the campus due to COVID
Thank you for your review! Unfortunately due to Covid-19 restrictions we have had to limit some activities on campus to keep everyone safe. We're really proud of our beautiful campus and can't wait to welcome everyone back and meet new faces on campus as soon as it's safe to do so! -Emma
The actual facilities of the university are relatively nice and you have access to a lot of buildings 24 / 7. Careers fairs are generally good and organised relatively frequently (pre-covid). A lot of societies to choose from. The students union is however useless. Landlords and estate agents regularly take the piss in overcharging and fines and the students union doesn't do anything about it. They don't even have a list of endorsed letting agents. I believe it's because previously we've only ever had people running who have campaigned on small issues without every proposing any change. Also mental health services are abismal, just go to the GP don't waste your time.
Thank you so much for leaving a review! I am really sorry that you had such bad experiences with the student union and the mental health support. Besides getting in touch with your wellbeing team you can, however, find mental help support here: https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/urgent-support.aspx and here: https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/your-wellbeing/index.aspx . Nevertheless, I will forward your feedback and hopefully this can help us to make further improvements. - Yasmin
Great university with a lot of opportunities
Hi there! Thank you for your amazing feedback! We pride ourseleves on offering a complete univesity experience which isn't all about studying! Best wishes, Fatemeh
nice environment, beautiful scenery, so lucky to live here.

Very good. I like it very much.
Hi there, I am glad you enjoy your experience at the university. Thank you for your review. -Moz
It is a beautiful university. And its quality of master is very good. I have a good experience.
Hi there, thank you for your wonderful feedback! Best wishes, Fatemeh
The last senior recommended toybox, I booked one decisively. First of all, the location is very convenient, five minutes' walk to the city center. Secondly, the apartment facilities are complete, there is a gym, coffee shop, laundry, printers and so on, the daily needs can be met. Finally, the most important thing is that the accommodation is quite good, each room is equipped with infrastructure, as well as a vacuum cleaner. Living in tb will also give gifts to households on New year's Day, and problems can be properly resolved on the same day. I am very satisfied with this!
Thank you so much for leaving your review! I am glad that you had such a good living experience. - Yasmin
High cost performance environment, considerate staff, patient service, worthy of recommendation!
Hi there, thank you very much for your positive comments and recommendation! Best wishes, Fatemeh
The uni has such good facilities it's crayzayy.
Hi there, thank you very much for your comments regarding our facilities. The university continually invests in the campus and its facilities fit for you and your future. Best wishes, Fatemeh
While COVID and many other issues have not been dealt with well, the campus is beautiful and there are some truly great members if staff
Hi there, it's great to hear you are enjoying the beautiful campus and your positive feedback about our amazing staff is highly appreciated. We are constantly monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and its impact, and doing all we can to make safe and reassure our staff and students. Best wishes, Fatemeh
Terrible university experience. Vice chancellor and central management have no respect or concern for students or their mental health and well-being. They only seem to care about the status of the uni and attracting prospective students - this review should put you off.
Thank you so much for leaving your feedback! I am very sorry that you had bad experiences with the University. If you need support regarding your wellbeing and/or mental health please have a look here https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/your-wellbeing/index.aspx and here https://intranet.birmingham.ac.uk/student/urgent-support.aspx. You also could contact the welbeing team of your school. Nevertheless, I will forward your feedback and hopefully this will help us to make further improvements. -Yasmin
Very awesome experience so far. The teaching staff are quite friendly and usually helpful.
Hi there, your positive feedback about our staff is really appreciated and I am so happy to hear your experience so far has been awesome! Best of luck in your studies, -Fatemeh
toybox in birmingham is amazing with excellent working stuff who are so nice and kind
Thank you for your review of an external accommodation provider!! That's really good to know :)
I studied at this university for 5 years. I have achieved a first in my undergraduate and a pass in my postgraduate (social work) course. The social work in particular was a joke agreed by all my fellow students. Everything from admin to teachers are highly disorganised and lack motivation. You can't find someone to help you so if you join this course you're on your own. We hardly had any teaching as most of this was self directed learning. this is when basically you read staff yourself cause they haven't got any teachers. The finance office is the worst, thy kept chasing me with invoices instead of invoicing the Social work bursary, there is no communication between departments and if you overplayed your tuition fees GOOD LUCK with that... please make sure that you keep receipts because you'll need them when you take them to court for a refund. I regret choosing this appalling university for my postgraduate course. I hope you have a better experience
Thank you very much for your feedback! I am very sorry that you had a bad postgraduate experience. I will forward your feedback so that we can make further improvements. -Yasmin
Nice campus, very big, the buildings are beautiful, WiFi is good!
Hi there! Thank you very much for your review, we are pleased to see you have such positive feedbacks about the univesity! Best wishes, Fatemeh
the uni is very beautiful and the professors here are always kind to teach you and answer you any questions. that is very nice to study here.
Hi there, your positive feedback about our staff is really appreciated and I am so happy to hear your experience been nice so far! Best wishes, -Fatemeh
My university is beautiful and the teachers are openminded,they can teach you in different ways to let u know more about what they taught u.
Hi there, thank you very much for your wonderful review! I am so happy to hear your positive experience with our amazing staff! Best wishes, Fatemeh
I am a current undergraduate at the university and I have to say I wish there was a rating for social support . Absolutely horrendous that there is no social support if you're struggling mentally. You get sign posted to talk to a wellbeing officer at the school your subject is a part of . To get to this you have to navigate through the labyrinth of online pages to even locate this option. University of cambridge, in comparison, offers you a whole professional team that consist of CBT specialists, not just "wellbeing officers" who, at best, are able to give you "extensions" on your deadlines - wtf am I supposed to do with an extension when I don't have the motivation to get out of bed. Honestly, barring the years during which the pandemic is rife the university is probably a fine institution to study at. If you know you are somebody who needs support the facade of "wellbeing officers" and lack of clarity of what help is available should deter you from applying here.
Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that you had to go through so much struggles. I will forward your feedback and hopefully this will help us to make further improvements. -Yasmin
response to coronavirus has been terrible. I was given no work from March until the start of the next academic year except for one piece of bridging coursework which wasn't graded and quite frankly a waste of half an hour. my course is great but I wish the uni would pay the VC less and invest more in the wellbeing of the students.
Thank you for your feedback! Im very sorry that your university experience has been so badly impacted by pandemic. -Yasmin
Fantastic place to study. Clubs and societies are very active. There are many free events and opportunities to bond with people from your course as well as from other courses. Career services are very competent, and helpful. The school has a good connection with employers and hold many great events to enhance employability skills.
Thank you for your review! I am glad that you enjoyed your time at UoB. -Yasmin
Uob is a good uni obviously however the history department has a lot to be desired.
Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that you were not satisfied with our history department. -Yasmin
If you want to complete the MSc Psychology program here ... BEWARE. After an 8-month dispute with my School, I received 40% of my tuition funds back, a recommendation was made to the School of Psychology, and an apology was given. This occurred because the expected level of practical research experience and support needed for me to flourish both within and beyond this institution unjustifiably lacked and in turn made Ph.D. placements and securing a job in my field futile. Throughout my time there I received a complete lack of support from my supervisor that aided in the overall lack of research experience I was able to receive. Despite the multiple attempts I made to allow staff to determine alternative solutions, their dismissals on all fronts and its resulting repercussions were enough to warrant a complaint. I would NOT recommend.
Thank you for your feedback. I am very sorry that you had such a bad experience at UoB. I will forward your complaint and hopefully this will help us to make further improvements. -Yasmin
Libraries are overcrowded but you can find some place to study. Sometimes there's a problem with WiFi. There's not enough staff who can help you and you need to wait in a queue or for a response via email. Worklink is a joke that can't pay an accurate amount of money and it's hard to be hired because many students look for a job. Guild it's helpful at all.
Hi! Thank you for your review, and we're sorry you have had an unsatisfactory experience. We're always trying to improve our services, and quite recently we've expanded the number of study spaces as well as library online services (such as scanning services), but we understand that these might not answer the needs of all students. In terms of support staff, we have expanded our online support services in order to adapt to the pandemic-related restrictions such as the limited capacity of each building or office, therefore in-person support staff may not be as abundant as before. However, we appreciate that during these unprecedented and challenging times our services and support may not be adequate. - Sadegh
The disinfection method is very perfect, the service at the front desk is very warm-hearted
Thank you so much for your positive review! The safety of students and Birmingham community has been a top priority for our university. COVID-19 has meant adapting to a 'new normal' and has had an undeniable impact on the academic year in terms of introducing safety measures, social distancing and regular disinfection of all areas and buildings in our campus. Other measures included: Strict timetable of when cohorts of students will be on campus; Zoned areas on campus according to programmes; Temperature checks upon arrival, sanitiser and increased cleaning throughout campus; Clear campus signage. We are very grateful to our staff and students who have helped us maintain the University a safe space for studying and socialising. We are closely following the Government's guidelines and we are looking forward to welcoming students back on campus. Yordanka

Hello! Thank you very much for your feedback. Lauren
Overall very good university. Better than oxford and harward
Hi there! Thank you so much for your comments! We are so happy to know you have such a positive opinion of University of Birmingham. Best wishes, Fatemeh
All the university cares about is taking money from you and not providing you with what you need to be an academic. They pester you to pay fees, yet when you want some compensation for missed lectures due to strikes and corona virus they refer you to a useless website with links which send you round to the same page you began with. When you take matters into your own hands and email there will be no helpful response. Staff are unhelpful and don’t intend on assisting with growth. You can’t even get a decent WiFi connection at the university.
Thank you very much for your feedback! I am sorry that you had such negative experiences, I will forward your feedback and hopfully this will help us to make further improvements. -Yasmin
the campus at the uni is the nicest campus of any uni i have visited and the new facilities are great

Great campus and facilities, active student union and plethora of societies.

UoB is a great university. They worked closely with students trying to get money back from partner accommodation during the corona virus lockdown and have been a big help.

Campus is really nice and there’s plenty ways of getting support
Hello! Thank you for your review! We are so glad that you enjoy the campus and support systems in place. Lauren
The university is good and has excellent facilities. I love Old Joe and being part of the community. The strikes are a shame because the university should listen to its staff.
Hi! Thank you for your review. It's great that you find our facilities satisfactory. At the same time, we're sorry that the strikes might have interrupted your university experience. Both the University and the unions care very much about their staff/members, and the University has always been in negotiation with the unions and has been actively trying to resolve any issues with the staff and their representatives as soon as possible. - Sadegh
University of Birmingham is a very good school.

Very well balanced as a university overall. Campus and facilities are great, lots to do socially. Wifi can be temperamental in study areas and lecture halls, however.
Hi! Thank you for your review. We are happy you had a positive experience overall. We understand that the WiFi might have some issues every once in while, and we are always looking to improve our facilities and services including the access to WiFi on campus. - Sadegh

The campus could benefit from a better selection of cafe options. Most cafe's on campus have identical menus, but overall I can't much complain. As a commuter student, it would be nice if there were more microwaves available as well.

Coming to UoB was the best decision of my life; absolutely adore everything about the University from my course to the beloved Fab n Fresh on Saturday nights.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and sharing about your great experience! - Rebecca
Stunning campus, amazing community, love it.
Thank you very much for your lovely review! It is always fantastic to hear from students who are enjoying their time at our University. At the University of Birmingham, we believe that a university experience is not just about studying. Our campus is not only a green and beautiful space to learn but is also a thriving hub of student life. The University is also located on a stone's throw from the city centre, which is perfect for those students who want a balance of a city and a campus experience. We are also proud to have a friendly and diverse community and with over 500 clubs and societies that the University is offering, it is no surprise that one can meet and learn from students from all over the world.

Amazing love it wouldn't change it for the world
Hi there, thank you for taking time to leave such a positive review! Glad to hear you've enjoyed your time here! Thank you, Rebecca
A large support network for students is available and help for anyone that needs it. 100's of societies to chose from but some are not accessible with ludicrous fees.
Hi, thank you so much for leaving a review! I'm so glad you had a positive experience of our extensive support services and wide range of societies. Our societies are run by students for students and some activities do cost more to run than others but we hope that with so many options available, there is something perfect for everyone! -Emma
The best three years of my life spent at the University of Birmingham. I moved to Brum in 2015 from Greater Manchester (Bury). The campus is incredible and very safe - the red brick buildings are beautiful and Old Joe clock tower is an icon in Birmingham. The library is open 24 hours, and the gym and Olympic sized swimming pool facilities are incredible. My first year halls were great (I was in The Vale) and I met my best mates here. The transport connections to halls and campus are good, and the University has its own train station, about a five minute journey to Brum city centre. The Uni has been great at helping with the transition from studying to working and there is a great careers department. I've been offered a job working in Birmingham so I'm set to stay in the city and explore Birmingham some more!

Since i live in liberty court I haven't experienced the SU so can't really say much about it
Highly reccomend UoB. The campus is insane and clubs/societies are so good.
