- Way of teaching - Teaching with real time illustrations and case studies really helped to understand the concept in depth and can be remembered for long.
- Helpful professors - Professors are so helpful in re explaining the concepts if needed and most importantly they are so kind to give their leisure time to know how we are doing and any help we need about concepts.
- Campus facilities - BCU has everything a student need at a campus.
Campus Life
- Birmingham City University has many campuses, like The Curzon Building (where we attended classes), Millennium Point, Alexander Stadium, Parkside Building, and City South campus, etc. I am aware of our campus infrastructure, it has a good, large library with print facilities, etc., and three food courts at that campus, and they serve delicious food, of course, Starbucks coffee as well :). Many events used to happen, like Music nights, Holi events etc.,
Accommodation
- My accommodation was off-campus, and it was a twenty-minute walk to the university. I used to stay in a shared accommodation and used to pay around three hundred GBP per month.
- I can recommend seeking the help of alumni, friends, or family members, primarily if they cannot contact trusted rental platforms near the university. To my knowledge, mostly Indian students stay at shared accommodations at a reasonable distance from universities.








Likes
- Uni had a nice library with books and laptop lending facility
- Location is nice for a university most of the things are nearby train, bus station grocery shops and student accommodations
- The major project is nice which allows you to research about a specific topic in where you're interested. This makes it easy and leads towards where you're aiming after this course.
Dislikes
- Food was not upto the mark no variety also bit of bland food
- Easy admission equals to weaker students my class didn't had any topper in their home country. A person with 5.5 bands and even without IELTS were present.
- No help or very less help I can say for job search during and after course there is no placement for master students
Campus Life
- 2 campuses: one in the city center B4 7RJ and one in the city's south campus B15 3TN
- Library and laptop lending, sports center was used of Aston University, very limited parking available, cafe & bar, mental health, financial aid
- There are many clubs and events you can take part in; there's free badminton day for 2 hours, Bingo night, movie night, Garba & Diwali night and Eid. Also, you can volunteer in any event going on in UNI. Black month is celebrated and LGBTQ
- For Garba night, the university has an auditorium where it is organised, pooja is done, a DJ is available and food will be provided. You need to prebook this and it's free of cost. Same for Holi and badminton day you get free access.
Accommodation
- I had found my accommodation through amber.
- Weekly it was 165 and monthly 660 for a 100 sqft personal room and toilet, Wi-Fi, parking, hot water, microwave, fridge, oven,
- Understanding the weekly concept and the type of rooms like bronze, silver, ensuite and other facilities it.
- Take accommodation for shorter duration and after reaching UK start searching for flats and bungalow that will cost you less anyways you are sharing the room or toilet or kitchen
- My accommodation was a 3-minute walk to the university. Most of the students stay under 5 miles from uni; either you take an expensive room close to uni or live far from uni and spend on travelling – one and the same thing.











Likes
- Campus is so pretty with modern infrastructure
- Fee structure is affordable
- The Classroom are well equipped
Dislikes
- I do not have any dislikes about my university to be honest but still I will try to answer some of the least liked things about my uni.
- There is Indian dominance, although it is good to have it but sometimes it changes into politics which I didn't like
- Everyone thinks BCU is the University of Birmingham which are two different universities.
Campus Life
- My university has 3 campuses, in nearby locations in Birmingham.
- They have all the faculties such as Library , Sports center and Medical services.
- They have cultural events every Friday and Saturday where mostly students from different countries join. There is a separate student union to which an Indian is the president. I also worked as Student ambassador for over 6 months there at Birmingham City University Student Union.
Accommodation
- I have opted for Off campus accommodation as it was affordable and I found it through an app which I do not remember the name of.
- The monthly rent was 600 pounds including all the bills.
- I was lucky to find a landlord who helped me. My house was about 5 miles away from the university.
- Indian students mostly reside in Coventry, Solihull, City Center.

Dislikes
- The main campus does not have anything for sports, career support is there but did not find it useful.
Campus Life
The campus has many societies one can participate in, just lacks a sports place inside the main campus, we have it in another one, rest for my design course we had a lot of facilities.
Accommodation
Average student accommodation rent in Birmingham should be around 600£ for ensuite or studio, but one can take rooms in independent houses in a bit cheaper price.
Likes
- Good infrastructure and location.
Dislikes
- No job assistance or placement, Not much global exposure
Campus Life
Wifi and the Library were great. Centrally located in the heart of the city so easily commutable. Research facilities were ample. Sports activities were negligible.
Accommodation
I had opted for Student accommodation outside the university campus. It was all ensuite and good location. Since the majority were Indians, good to mingle with each other but less global interaction and exposure.
Likes
- Birmingham City University provides courses that are globally renowned, accredited and constitutes a multicultural community that adds to the student’s learning experience. This will ultimately make me grab an opportunity to study and develop with diverse intellectual mindsets. It offers industry-focused and research-led courses as it works closely with industry professionals and experts. The university provides modern facilities and services that are very beneficial for the students. I looked for other universities as well, but considering factors like the course modules, facilities, and the surroundings in which I want to develop, Birmingham City University is the best place for me.
- I appreciate the rigorous academic curriculum at my university, which fosters critical thinking and practical skills. The dedicated faculty provides valuable mentorship, and the vibrant campus life, enriched by diverse clubs and events, creates a dynamic learning environment. Access to modern facilities, well-equipped libraries, and strong community support enhance my overall university experience.
Dislikes
- While my university offers a robust academic experience, there have been occasional challenges with administrative communication and response times. Additionally, there could be more emphasis on providing real-world exposure through industry partnerships or practical experiences. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall positives outweigh the negatives, contributing to a fulfilling educational journey.
Campus Life
Campus life is vibrant, with diverse clubs and events fostering community and personal growth. Excellent research facilities, well-equipped libraries, and reliable WiFi enhance the academic environment. Top-notch sports facilities cater to both organized teams and recreational activities, promoting a balanced lifestyle. Overall, the campus provides a dynamic and enriching university experience.
Accommodation
I'm currently in Jennens Court, managed by Unite Students, in Birmingham City Centre. The modern en-suite rooms are grouped into flats of three to six occupants, each with a shared lounge and kitchen area. The accommodation provides a dedicated social/study space, and there's a communal courtyard with tenant-only access. Security is ensured with 24-hour CCTV and reception hours. My en-suite room includes a three-quarter bed, Wi-Fi connected study area, and a private shower room. The shared fitted kitchen is well-equipped, and each flat is supplied with cleaning tools. For 51 weeks I have been charged £7,390.41. And for specific rental costs, it's advisable to inquire directly with the accommodation provider.
Accommodation
For all 3 years at University - my accommodation was amazing. It was close to my university, and had a lot of my friends living around me, and when I lived with my friends in a flat group, made my experience at the university more enjoyable.
It was the closest major city that I had not experienced enough. I had a lot of friends going to study in Birmingham as well as some friends who live in Birmingham. It was a last-minute decision, to be honest - between Nottingham Trent and Birmingham City.
Accommodation
I and my friends took a flat and stayed. The rent was 300 pounds per month
I wanted to study in the UK. Also, my friends told me about the university and the facilities available at the university. So I chose this university.
Accommodation
N/a
I chose this University as it is a new modern university where my family and friends have also got their degrees from. It is a friendly environment and how the students are satisfied with the modules attracted me.
