The University of Birmingham

The campus itself is beautiful, very spacious and there's a lot of places available for you to work. Most of the lecturers I have encountered want you to do well and will put the effort and time into helping you. However, the welfare team aren't great, they offer little support and are under staffed.

University of Birmingham is a great university, with a very inclusive environment, especially considering international students. It is very organised and students get heard about their needs, which makes it even more like us. I'm enjoying my time in University of Birmingham, and I am sure that anyone who decides to come to this uni will be satisfied with their standards of teaching and researching.

Facilities on campus are great, throughout my 3 years they have constantly been improving and providing more facilities for students. Particularly impressive is our new fitness centre, library and green heart campus. My course is very interesting and the lecturers are very talented and helpful

The university has a good Campus that is friendly and lots of greenery. It is nice and very big. The lecturers are very friendly and the tutors are good. The food is not too expensive which is good. Everyone has fun and enjoys themselves , the societies are good. However it can be improved , by making it more welcoming for home students.

Amazing university. amazing new facilities on campus, especially the new library and the green heart.

The campus is gorgeous and really well maintained. The new development to provide more green space is going to be amazing too, especially in the spring and summer. It's a real delight to walk around campus. The facilities are amazing on campus, and there are plenty of study spaces. The new library is also a very good study space. There are plenty of places to eat on campus which people can use their 'meal plan' (equivalent to catered accommodation) in meaning that rather than traditional catered accommodation they can eat out and have a wide range of foods such as Asian, Mexican, British etc. My course is intense (medicine) but there is a lot of support available so you don't ever feel alone. The guild of student is also incredible (they won an award for best student union this year) and have so much going on to get involved with. The only thing about my university that could be improved is the ease of accessing the wellbeing services - there is a huge waiting list leaving people suffering with their mental health waiting for up to a month, sometimes longer, but I know they are tackling this at the moment.

The facilities within the uni are amazing, there are plenty of study spaces, computers, accommodation etc etc. The support that is available is also 5* as tutors are quite nice and very welcoming unlike another uni I went to. In comparison to other uni's, placement oppurtunities are better than other uni's in Birmingham.

Put lots of effort into putting events on for students outside of academic studies. For example, free events with fireworks and free food. It is evident that lots of money has been invested in developing the campus, for example brand new library and gym. The library is spacious and creates the perfect environment for productive studies - ranges from silent study spaces to more lively areas in the cafe where you can enjoy food and drink whilst you study.

Campus is great but a lot of work being done at the moment means it's a bit like a building site. Lecturers are generally good had no real problems that haven't been dealt with suitably.

Good guild. Safe place. Really good lecturers and admin staff that are willing to help you out about lectures. The guild is good with lots of events going on, as well as charity events. The facilities are good, both social and sports. The swimming pool is great and lots of good sports clubs.

Excellent campus facilities. Good support from lecturers and also student services. Everything you need is on campus from food shops to opticians! Overall had a positive experience at the University of Birmingham. Would strongly recommend!

The University of Birmingham has an beautiful redbrick campus with the tallest freestanding clock tower in the world keeping time for all our lectures. There are a really wide range of friendly and open societies so there really is something for everyone. Some of the facilities on my course are a little outdated but I know that there are plans for a new chemistry lab and there are new teaching labs that have just been built, so the university is committed to improving its facilities.

I spent three years here and the whole environment was very friendly. The university campus was lovely, and had excellent facilities. The tutors were very helpful the majority of the time

i have a deep love for my university- the course is study which is philosophy, religion and ethics is one of the most interesting topics i've ever learnt about. the facilities at my university are also the best that i've seen after visiting many other universities. my student union hosts fab a night out every saturday night and a sports night on wednesdays which are beyond amazing.

Very good university, great social life, really pretty campus and surrounding areas, good academic prospects.

The University of Birmingham has exceded my expectations in terms of the experience i've had here. I've recieved excellent teaching throughout my undergraduate and postgraduate courses and have always felt that there is a wide variety of support available to me, whether that be emotional/personal support or academic. The campus is also stunning and what initially attracted me to the University; the old red brick buildings and trees gave it almost a Harry Potter feel but the new library and development has taken in to a slightly different place. While the new facilities are very much appreciated, my main criticism of the new development would be that the buildings don't really fit into the general, appealing aesthetic. Overall a very good University.

I study Economics at UoB and I find it intellectually stimulating and challenging. At the same time, it was enjoyable and fun to study. UoB has a beautiful campus, and great facilities.

The university itself is a lovely red brick, green atmosphere. It makes you forget that you are in the outskirts of a city. The student support is good generally but there needs to be an improvement in the counselling programmes as there are not enough spaces for the students that require the help. Academically the university is highly thought of and very impressive. There is a wide range of resources available including access to world class lectures.

Great sporting facilities at this University. Campus buildings can vary in quality as expected, but the newer buildings are of great quality. The Chemical Engineering building is extremely busy and overall not a pleasurable place to work due to this. Metallurgy and Materials building is the complete opposite to this, with lots of space to do work and more appropriate desk space for PhD students.

Currently at UoB for my masters. In comparison to where I studied my undergraduate degree! I would highly recommend this university, they have a great careers service which is usually available upon appointment and a number of career opportunities. Particularly for engineering, the university has an elite reputation with many employers.

Overall the uni is okay but mostly the admin and party life lets it down. The admin team are always late at least for psychology and most the time we get work back late, exam timetables etc late. Also as it is in Selly oak, which is pretty high for crime, the nightlife is not as good as other unis

My university experience has been amazing so far. I have just finished my second year studying mathematics and it has been absolutely phenomenal. I am thoroughly enjoying my time in this beautiful campus and relish the opportunities I get from the careers network.

I love my uni because of the location mostly. I’m from Birmingham so I didn’t have to find my way around the city. I love how mixed my university is culturally, allows me to meet people from around the world. I love my course as well.

Great university. The medical school is a beautiful building. Food and drink at the student union is fairly expensive so that could be improved. The new library building is very good. There needs to be more publicity for the careers service. Further to this, societies also need to make themselves more known on all parts of the campus, i.e. the medical college.
