- Lots and lots of resources to help studying
- Hands on experience while studying
- Every tech in the campus was upto date
Dislikes
- Management. Delayed response for emails even if it was urgent
- The area. Even though it was a big university there is nothing much to do in the city.
- No clear instructions. When you need some information they'll redirect you to some other department instead of the helpdesk asking them and providing info to you.
- I found my accommodation using the university’s accommodation website, which listed on-campus and nearby options. My monthly rent was £700 for an ensuite room, which included a private bathroom, access to a shared kitchen, and common areas.
- One challenge I faced was securing affordable accommodation, as prices were relatively high. Based on my experience, I recommend future students rent an Airbnb for the first month to get a feel for the area and then search for more affordable private housing—it tends to be cheaper in the long run.
- My accommodation was about 4 miles away from the university campus. The area was quite diverse, with a significant number of Black students, a few White students, and some Indian students as well. Most Indian students tend to stay either in university accommodation or nearby private rentals.

- Great Campus and the location which is away from the city traffic and located in green environment.
- Great Exposure of students including majority of students from Canada, USA, India, China and other Asian countries as well.
- Great Student Body which is Guild of Students. Provide support in every aspect including accommodation issues to budgeting issues.
Dislikes
- Bad support for getting placed or getting a job as we have to fill the applications ourselves and there is no such thing called campus placement. they have job fairs but they are not very useful for post grad students
- Less part time jobs on campus and only a handful jobs are available which also requires some level of proficiency in that particular field.
- Expensive food in on-campus cafe
- The university provided us with the list of accommodations to live at and was very useful. The monthly rent is 400 GBP and it includes a 5-person shared flat with a shared washroom and shared kitchen.
- No challenges were there to find the accommodation, as it was a simple process. My accommodation is within the campus but still it takes 25 mins to walk to the classrooms, as the campus is huge.

Dislikes

Dislikes
- The faculty is not up to the marks.

- No placement guarantee culture in the UK is very different.
The university is ranked quite decently in the QS world ranking. Birmingham is also the UK's 2nd biggest city which provides for a lot of employment options. Education wise it was pretty decent. But the amount of exposure I have received is good. The university has a lot of facilities that being an Indian I wasn’t familiar with. They provided end to end help.

Dislikes
- I will not say I dislike anything about the university, but the timing of the university may affect your research if you want to work in flexible timings.
- The time of the university is 8 am to 6 pm. And if you are comfortable working at night (which researchers do), then this might be affect your research.
My overall experience has been great till now. My research is going up to the mark, and I am enjoying my stay here along with various experience associated with social events.
University of Birmingham is among the top universities of UK and also a founder member of Brussel group. It offers exchange program between its three branches which is very amazing.
Ranked 7th best university in the UK by Times Higher Education for Computer Science. Also was rejected by Imperial College London and Edinburgh University. This was my third choice.
