University of Birmingham

An amazing university! Everyone is so lovely and it’s so much fun. I’m having a really wonderful experience and the quality of the degree, as well as the opportunities for a social life, are so varied and mean the experience is worthwhile. It’s so fun!

Tidy. Friendly people. Everyone is beyond helpful. The food is good. Social activities are really good. Easy to navigate around campus. The staff is great.

Really interesting course and a fantastic opportunity to engage with like-minded individuals.

It is almost guaranteed that those who are not from Birmingham, have a very low standard and rather damaging perception of what the city and people are like. I had blindly chosen Birmingham without visiting the University or the area, whilst knowing about the connotations of the city. However, I cannot complain about the experience I've had both socially and academically. With a variety of very sociable people, you are guaranteed to find the correct people for you. Academically, the support is there for ur subjects and even mentally. The facilities provided are beautiful; from the campus itself from an aerial view, the sports facilities, the lecture halls, and food court. As a Redbrick uni/ Russell group, you also have many links to great companies and establishments.

My university experience has been better than I could have anticipated. Despite Covid taking over my First Year, the last two years have made up for it, and I have somehow fallen in love with Birmingham! I have made such incredible friends and memories whilst learning about a subject I love! My course department has delivered an excellent quality of teaching and I'm now excited for what my future and career opportunities have in store for me.

The course is a lot harder than A level but the social life has been really good :)

As an international student UoB has been a great place to study. They are always interested in their students well being and happiness. The modules are quite easy and the teachers are really nice and don't care about repeating lectures so that you can understand the topics

Going to the Uni of Brum was the best decision I ever made! I got to flourish in an amazing academic environment surrounded by people interested and passionate about the same issues and social injustices as me. My degree is one of my proudest achievements. Moving into halls and the brilliant social life allowed me to make friends I will know and love forever. I loved the buzzing nightlife in Birmingham. The university also offered enough societies, sports and academic events that you could fill each day with something if the usual socialising and drinking typical of UK unis is not for you.

Had such a good time the lecturers are very helpful which creates a good student support team and the work is interesting as well

Lovely uni with a positive vibe and environment. Campus is not scattered all over Birmingham making it easier to find accommodation.
