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.

One of the best things about uni is the fact that it is a campus. It’s easy to get from one place to the other without having to walk far and here are halls close by meaning you can have those extra few minutes in bed before having to leave for your 9am lectures! The university has so many facilities to help you, from help with finding ways to gain those extra marks in essays to support with mental health issues. Throughout my time at uni I would say that the one thing that I would absolutely recommend everyone to take advantage of is the careers network. They are honestly one of the best resources to use when looking for a placement, internship and graduate job.

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

Attractive Campus Not enough study spaces, the new library is focussed on an open plan feel which means there are not enough seats and you can walk around for an hour trying to find space I do a psychology degree. The course content is interesting however there is no communication between modules. You are taught things multiple times. Deadlines all fall at very similar times making it very difficult to balance your time. Also coursework feedback comes back far after they say it will

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 Campus is beautiful throughout the year and we have a really good student union which supports societies and hosts a night at the union every Saturday!

The campus is BEATIFUL! And has everything you could ever need so you don't really need to leave (gym, bank, shops, gp practice, hairdressers etc)...but if you did want to leave having the train station and bus stops on campus is amazing!! The uni provide lots of additional support e.g. Student services, library services, academic skills centre etc.

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.

Excellent support for disabled students, including online and library access to resources, friendly and supportive staff. Accessible buildings, facilities and range of extra curricular activities.

I could not give enough praise to the University of Birmingham. The campus is amazing, has everything you need, sports facilities, high tech. buildings and equipment. Lectures are always intellectual and stimulating and I am thoroughly enjoying my time here.

The campus is so so beautiful and all the new library and sports centre are brilliant are modern. The Psychology course is brilliant and the teaching is good. The Guild runs all the student events and they are very on the ball with everything, they help with everything from housing issues to wellbeing. There are loads of societies to join so there’s something for everyone. The careers service is brilliant as they aid you in trying to get the most out of your time at uni while planning your future. My experience so far has had a few hitches but due to the massive size of my course it was completely expected and any timetable issues were dealt with in an organised manner. Have thoroughly enjoyed my time here so far, but the campus is the best bit.

Really nice looking campus (well except for the buidling work but that will end eventually probably), lots of really good lecturers and intresting module options. Only problem is a lack of seating in the library at exam time but its fine for most the year and some of the seminar rooms are a bit small for the class sizes.

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)
