Good environment

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

History, Year 1

(5)·By Sarah K·History· Oct 2018
My university experience so far has been really good, the campus is beautiful and lively, with lots on offer. The facilities are brilliant, modern and always clean. The student lifestyle is made easier by the deals and offers through the university and making friends has never been so fun.

Truly life changing

(5)·By Rouza N·Medicine· Jun 2023
Since starting university, my experience has been eye opening and life changing. The transition from a small school community to a large wider society with people of different ages and interests has helped me see the world from another perspective. University is the start to a life changing experience to help you reach the goal you want. This is what university of Birmingham has made me feel and I love every moment of it.

Biology / Biotechnology, Year 3

(5)·By seren h·Biology· Jul 2021
freshers week was very good socially and exploring the campus. the introduction to the course was poor. university accommodation was good. very social, nice rooms, very safe, fixed anything we had problems with. however, my flat had mould and ants - which they fixed but that should have never been a problem. the library is very good although could have more spaces. classrooms are great. sports facilities are extremely good. I have not had enough experience with the student union to comment. interesting content, lots of freedom and good lecturers city life is extremely good for nightlife and good day activities. the city can be unsafe though but as long as you're in a group it's good.

(5)·By Amy H·Mathematics· Jun 2023
I am really enjoying University at Birmingham, the capus is lovely, the accomodation is sociable ( I am in Tennis Courts) and I feel really supported on my course even though it is really challenging the uni provides lots of resources to help everyone individually, the night life is also great here and easy to get intop the town centre, would definetely reccommend

Birmingham from a perspective that we do not usually hear

(5)·By John A·Law· Jun 2023
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.

Languages, Graduate

(5)·By Joshua E·Languages· Jul 2021
It was really fun and intense, lots of activities both academic and social. Very easy to make friends, and so much going on. The accommodation is very expensive, and if you don't put Birmingham as your conditional offer, you don't get priority. But the area is nice. Really good, high quality facilities. Always building something new. The course was really good, easy to follow and well organised. Lots of people on the course too, so easy to make friends. Very intense. Birmingham is a big city, and has its dodgy areas, but is fun and as far as I've experienced, very safe.

Engineering, Graduate

(5)·By Khinel P·Engineering· Jul 2021
It was fun. Everyone was welcoming which made it a lot more enjoyable The accommodation was clean and the staff were friendly Library is newly refurbished and is very clean and modern. The gym facilities are all new also, and the student Union is a lively place to be The lecturers are very friendly and the course includes such riveting content that is applicable in almost any work environment Very similar to London and is quite busy. Not for people who enjoy quiet areas
