I study Medicine here, and I found that the staff are friendly and very approachable. My Personal Academic Tutor always found time to help me. I received consistent emails telling me about various events I could attend or services I could use. There was some emphasis put on wellbeing, which I definitely appreciated (Especially the opportunity to see therapy dogs during exam season). As an international student, it may seem daunting, but joining a society is well worth it, and it's partially thanks to societies like MedSoc big band that I'm so excited for second year. The sports and fitness center is also very good, with a pool, a huge gym, several courts, and even a rock climbing wall.
Good uni - can only comment on my experience of my course tho
Great uni but is very American uni like lots of societies etc
So far so good. The campus is beautiful with very good facilities.
i love uob! the campus is really nice and spacious, and i like my course. there’s not enough study spaces and the library is virtually always crammed, but that’s something the university’s acknowledged and are working on.
I love my university it’s extremely social . Lovely campus and kill study spaces
Beautiful campus, professional teachers and kind classmates!
It is a very nice university and the experience in the university is very valuable
Overall it is a decent uni, city is not too bad. However there is high percentages of Chinese student in certain faculties, most of them are not actively participating in lecture discussion and it made me struggle during group works.
The university of Birmingham has a good facilities and campus, nothing to complain about
Nice university and wonderful experience
Amazing! Great facilities and teaching.
Because of Covid 19, I couldn't join few social activities and I haven't feel some casual time with classmates.
I adore the uni. Such great facilities, ratings, teaching and vibe.
I am a student at the University of Birmingham who lives on campus. Everything about this place is fantastic. The university and student life are both excellent.
came here for my year abroad after not getting into the uni I wanted in the first place (London), so I came with no expectations and without having looked up anything about UoB. I was blown away by the BEAUTIFUL campus (I told all my friends and family I thought I‘d landed at Hogwarts when I walked around for the first time). The more time I spent here the more I realized what’s the greatest thing about this uni, which is the social life. The different clubs, societies and constant events going on are what make the experience here immaculate. One of the best years of my life (if not the best). The society I most recommend for anyone who’s interested in dance (any style and any level of experience) is BUDS, who are one of the biggest societies on campus and have made my experience here the absolute best. Otherwise, the surf society and the ski society have some of the best people and some of the best socials of them all
Quality uni, quality place, quality accom, no faults to be honest
UoB is a great university and has a vivid student life. My time there has been good
A great university with a beautiful campus. Especially great facilities such as gym, library and amazing societies.
University is good. The campus has a lot of good facilities especially for sports students. There are lots of clubs and societies. The university also has a lot of student services to help you with different things such as assignment writing or student finance, peoples to help find work placement for students.
University of Birmingham is a old and cultured top ranking UK university campus across the globe. The business school is brilliant and the staff are friendly and helping.

I am doing my PhD there. They hire PhD students as a TA and you get salary for it which is very good. Campus is great, there is plenty of café on campus. Library is awesome which works 24 hours. Else Birmingham city is well compact city where everything situated close to each other, which is also a plus.
Very nice and academic place for us to study.
Staff are friendly and the campus is well-equipped.
I enjoy a lot my one year school life at the university
Facilities and Teaching are incredible but admin staff are pretty inefficient and unhelpful in directing you to sources of help
I love this university, they have history and wonderful facilities, and it always have some activity make me fell unbelievable in special period.

I love this university. I have been here for more than three Years and I met a lot of people here. The staff in our school are very nice. Professors are so warm that they always reply our emails quickly.
School is exactly what I’ve expected
With a beautiful campus and excellent study facilities, it gives a very reassuring atmosphere to study.
Couldn’t think of anywhere better to live. Really close to everything, interior is beautiful and staff are lovely :)
perfect school scenes. Great building styles and brand new facilities. Really kind teachers. All of these make cool university！
nice facilities and kind people there
Beautiful campus, perfect facilities, nice people!
Lovely 🥰 l like the en-suite environment here
The online learning system is poorly designed. Library had ridiculous opening hours because of Covid - why even bothering opening it all? Either keep it open 24 hours as normal or don't open it at all! This brings me on to my next point, and my main gripe - I simply can't give a University who gets rid of so many staff at a moments' notice a good review. Made for terrible service - it takes weeks to get a response from anybody - and I feel sorry for your staff who were clearly stressed out. When I went to an opening day there were students who were protesting because the University was not paying its student workers - this was PRE-COVID so there wasn't even a good excuse for this. Would recommend any other Russell Group institution over this one. A real shame, as it is a beautiful campus and there are some great lecturers here, but the bureaucracy stinks.
The university provides a wonderful environment to learn in.
UOB is good. I spent an unforgettable time there
Decent university, the careers service is very helpful.
I love it here and I wouldn’t change my course or university for anything else. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Sophie Boyron especially goes above and beyond, she is supportive and an amazing tutor/academic.
I have lived here for one year. All the furnishings are totally new and clean. It is worth mentioning that there is Chinese reception whose soooo enthusiastic and kind！！！！
The staffs at school are nice. The university is beautiful.
Great service here! The staff is very kind and helpful.
Birmingham city university is a place where you feel like home especially with uni staff, as an international student I feel like I'm not alone
Excellent university in every possible way. Outstanding professors and staff. Beautiful campus and facilities. Offers several social activities both for academic and non academic purposes. Great student support.
I think our campus is very good. very beautiful. But because of COVID-19, I have no social this year. Th wifi is just so so.The career service is good, I receive many email regarding the career service
Campus is beautiful. Medical school is really good with good facilities. The wifi could be better but this is excusable!
It is really a perfect apartment that gives me a homecoming experience. I met a lot of friends here and my neighbors are all very friendly and warmhearted. We built snowmen in the yard, which was our best memory during the lockdown.
A great and genuine University focused on quality of study and welfare of its students.
The University internet is bad
I have not been able to use any of the facilities much due to covid
bad for my mental health and little help, have ttired to help as best they can but commnication is often poor
I would choose different uni. like manchester or bristol
didn’t really get to go in campus.
I have completed a Master's and a PGDipEd course at the University of Birmingham and am very happy with it! The campus is beautiful and the uni has a great reputation for a reason. I really enjoyed my time at UoB and can 100% recommend studying there!
If you're looking for a campus-based University, the University of Birmingham is just for you. There's lots of greenery, diversity and, openness as well!
It is a very good university. Although I did not have a thorough look at the whole university due to the epidemic, the school attaches great importance to the mentality and learning level of students
Great university with a really nice campus
I highly recommend this student accommodation and the cost performance is high
The environment is great, the staff is very nice, and the Chinese reception is very nice
The Toybox is really a nica amazing ans perfect place，every staff here is fantastic，the service is nice and the transportation is really convenient ，highly recommend
The university of Birmingham is a top 100 university
The school environment is fantastic and the teachers are very responsible. It is a good school
I studied the distance learning MATESOL course with Birmingham and would definitely not recommend it. I had a fantastic tutor and she helped me a lot throughout the master's, but their online programme only consists of articles that you should read for each module and videos of no longer than 4 minute for each unit. Many of the recommended readings aren't in the e-library and you have to look for them yourself. The support you get while writing the dissertation is almost non-existent. However, the university is very quick to catch any mistake you might commit. The university accused me of plagiarism for using the wrong technique in referencing, which I now understand was wrong, but throughout the 2 years of my studies, I was using the same wrong technique (without knowing so) and was never corrected. At the end, the university concluded that I was guilty of plagiarism and refused admitting its part in having no support from the supervisor and wrongfully grading my assignments for 2+ y
I honestly don’t see myself in any school but the great University of Birmingham. The tutors at the school of Education are of top tier quality and I’m proud to be a “soon to be alumnus” of this world class institution
I like this apartment. It's new and comfortable. I like the reception sister, very beautiful and friendly!
Very good and wonderful experience
The accommodation is beautiful! I feel comfortable here
I enjoyed my time on campus at the University of Birmingham, but unfortunately Covid cut that time quite short.
Great university, lovely campus and friendly people
Soooooo good! It’s lucky to choose TB. Especially the reception, really nice!
University of Birmingham is quite good! The teachers are all very nice and very helpful. I can ask them any questions and they are willing to help me and encourage me!
Due to the COVID , we not really can enjoy all the things in school. But it’s really a beautiful school with nice view.
havent get a chance to visit the campus due to COVID
The actual facilities of the university are relatively nice and you have access to a lot of buildings 24 / 7. Careers fairs are generally good and organised relatively frequently (pre-covid). A lot of societies to choose from. The students union is however useless. Landlords and estate agents regularly take the piss in overcharging and fines and the students union doesn't do anything about it. They don't even have a list of endorsed letting agents. I believe it's because previously we've only ever had people running who have campaigned on small issues without every proposing any change. Also mental health services are abismal, just go to the GP don't waste your time.
Great university with a lot of opportunities
nice environment, beautiful scenery, so lucky to live here.
Very good. I like it very much.
