the course is a tad disorganised, but lecturers are mostly friendly and helpful. the guild does a lot to support new students, but can be intimidatingly enthusiastic. canvas is absolute hell.

The buildings are lovely, everything is within a short distance of everything, the train station makes it a great location, the career service is best in UK. The only major problem is lack of parking.

Red brick buildings and Old Joe are beautiful but some buildings like the muirhead tower and university centre need a serious revamp Sports facilities are great and brand new The student union offer a huge variety of societies and ways to get involved and lovely staff Careers network offer regular opportunities

A beautiful campus, which has everything we need: coffee, food, even travel agency : this university is not only for education. The student Union is really active and does its possible to increase every day life at uni, although it's already really good. Lot of support is provided, whether you're an international student or a local one.

One of the prettiest unis (when there isnt construction work) and the staff are always helpful when it comes to assignment work.

The campus is beautiful, friendly and has a real community feel - if you look past the constant construction work. There are plenty of places to go to spend frees, whether it's to eat, chat, relax, or study. The new library in particular is a wonderful building with loads of resources and student spaces.

Not bad, they give very good service for international student. For engineering school. The old lecturer is very lazy but other is fine. Computer are good but facilities of other department is not good. The study hours is so less compare to my country . Sport facility is good but too expensive

The campus is really lovely and always I'd clean and well kept. There is a brand new sport centre. Courses are well run however there is often not enough space for large lecturers.

Beautiful campus if you ignore the current construction work. Ideal location with a train station on campus and cheap tickets into the city centre. Everybody is really nice and the student union is fantastic and very supportive. There’s a great range of societies and something for everyone. The brand new sports centre is brilliant although there is a lot of competition for membership, would be nice if it came as part of the University fees. The first year Accomodation is great, the vale is beautiful and desperate so there is somewhere to go and get away from University stress

Food doesn’t cater for Muslims; there are vegetarian options but they are limited. Some departments are underfunded and excluded from the refurbishments

Doesn’t cater food for Muslim students. There are vegetarian options but they are limited. Cash is underfunded and isn’t part of the development scheme

The uni has a beautiful campus, but I would prefer several buildings to be better kept and updated, and a better set of facilities for Modern Languages. The university has a strong sport scene, and is very international. There is a range of career services and a good infrastructure for any subject and variation.

Aviation and airport management is one of the best courses as we travel out of the country each year. We have a lot of facilities especially the libraries . We have a lot of relevant books for our courses ( newspapers, reports, ebooks and dvds)

It’s a really good university with a really nice campus with trees, old buildings etc. Unfortunately this is being changed with the current creation of the green heart. The teaching and support from admin and career services is really good, as well as the use of canvas and my.bham.

Beautiful campus and great teaching and support, for example careers services and fairs. The University provides you with many opportunities and you leave with having gained so much experience and confidence.

My course was not what I initially expected, but I’ve settled in and am beginning to enjoy my course a lot more. The campus is beautiful and I love being there.

Lovely clean campus with decent teaching facilities. Intranet and canvas pages are well organised and the IT services are reliable. Feedback is always being genuinely taken to heart and implemented.

Great campus, new facilities such as library and sports centre. However, due to the popularity the demand from students has increased and thus, such spaces can become busy and oversubscribed. Support is good, teaching fantastic but careers help and networking for health related professions are few and far between.

Such a fantastic university with an amazing course and so much to do. Few issues with organisation but that’s the only reason it’s down a star!
