Birmingham City University - Birmingham

P. Y. A.

Can’t say much about faculty, academics, support or admission processes yet.

I can only talk about the ease of access from the city centre and major transport stations I. Birmingham.

You can conveniently walk to the campus which is in the heart of the city. Rely on Google map to locate specific buildings however.

A rubbish university I have ever heard of. This university misuses the trust of British universities education standards.
This university is opened solely based for the business purposes. They never after quality rather they are after money.
The use the British standards for collecting money. They never care of the students education rather they ask for if they have paid the fee.
They never asked students if they are getting good education but they often if they have paid their fee.
They are not education providers rather they are fee collectors.
British government is requested to close this its badly damaging British education system.

My name is Aansker Sugin Vijayaraj Shyni, and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Finance.

BCU has provided me with an outstanding educational experience. The university's facilities are modern and well-equipped, offering a conducive environment for both academic and extracurricular activities. The faculty members are not only knowledgeable but also very approachable and supportive. They are genuinely invested in helping students succeed, offering guidance and support whenever needed.

The coursework in my program strikes a perfect balance between theoretical knowledge and practical application, which has been immensely beneficial in preparing me for a career in accounting and finance.

Additionally, BCU offers excellent support services, from career counseling to mental health resources, ensuring that students have all the necessary support to thrive both academically and personally.

Overall, my time at BCU has been incredibly fulfilling and enriching. I highly recommend Birmingham City University to anyone seeking a comprehensive and supportive educational experience.

I went to the university city centre today with my friend. Actually she was international student over there and it was her very first day over there . As she was new to the area I just took her to the university just to help her out. But the receptionist was really rude and I was having my little one with me. I politely asked the security guard that do you have have any waiting area he was quite helpful and area he was quite helpful he politely said we are sorry we don't have any waiting areas for non students but again the receptionist was being nosey and rudely said she is not a student so don't allow her bit was quite terrible experience.

My experience of BCU was very disappointing to say the least. I was in my first year of a nursing degree when I noticed bad practice on placement. I reported it to my personal tutor, who failed to raise the concerns with the hospital and basically gaslighted me, saying it wasn't as bad as it seemed. I have years of experience in healthcare so I have a good idea of what is acceptable practice and what isn't. I escalated my concerns to the course lead, detailing what had happened, but she failed to respond. On top of this, I was told to complete the placement or risk not passing my first year, as they didn't find me anywhere else to work. Ultimately, I made the decision to leave the course and study elsewhere. I was sad about this because I had a good group of friends and wanted to continue my nursing journey there. I think I have made the right decision.

Quite alot of these voi scooters located across the city centre, pretty comfortable ride and quite cool way to get to A TO B. Whether it's going to college, uni, work, you can either pay £40:00 a month for unlimited travel or it works out at 20p a minute if you just want a casual ride around the city, all you have to do is, download the app called VOI, it will find the next closest scooter available to your location you just go pick it up and off you go.

My experience with the Nursing courses at BCU was disheartening. The majority of staff consistently demonstrated unprofessional behaviour, ranging from inconsiderate to outright nauseating, which is quite surprising considering they are registered nurses. As a result, I made the decision to drop out of the course and continue my studies at another university.

In hindsight, I believe it was the right move. It’s truly unfortunate when individuals pursuing education in healthcare are faced with staff members who appear to lack the fundamental qualities of respect and professionalism. In healthcare, where compassion and consideration are paramount.

During my time first year, I found myself struggling with health issues and received next to no support or care from the lecturers and course leaders. If anything, I strongly believe that the lack of assistance I encountered during my studies here exacerbated my health problems.

After countless unanswered emails, I decided to address the issue with the Nursing course lead and a lecturer during an open day face to face. When I expressed my concerns about the lack of support, I was met with a dismissive response, with them urging me to 'keep quiet' so as not to discourage prospective students. My response was a reminder that not long ago, I was one of those prospective students myself. In my opinion, this university falls short of expectations.
