Studying for my M.Sc. in Economics at the University of Birmingham has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The campus atmosphere is vibrant, with stunning architecture and the iconic Old Joe, all impeccably maintained. I loved spending time in the library, which offered excellent resources and support. The teaching and non-teaching staff were always helpful, and being part of Birmingham Business School was a highlight. The career network, particularly George and Tom, provided invaluable guidance, and the mentorship program was a game-changer. Overall, UoB helped me grow both academically and personally, making this chapter of my life truly memorable. Highly recommended!
Pursuing a PhD in Bioinformatics at the University of Birmingham has been a transformative experience for my academic and professional growth. The university offers state-of-the-art research facilities and an inspiring academic community that fosters innovation. The faculty members are highly knowledgeable and supportive, always encouraging students to explore new ideas. Additionally, the vibrant campus life and diverse student body create a dynamic environment for both learning and personal development. Birmingham’s central location also provides ample opportunities for collaboration and networking, making it an ideal place to advance in a cutting-edge field like bioinformatics.
Started my PhD here in 2021. The science and technology has been incredible and so helpful for my project. The campus is extremely friendly, vibrant and lots of events ongoing!
Solid uni, deffo worth it for the courses and experience.
Good university with good study spaces and community.
University campus is really good and enjoying
A very beautiful university, the teachers and classmates are very friendly, and the facilities are good and complete.
I spend almost a year living here.I feel very happy here during this year. The reception here are very friendly and make me feel like family.
The actual education is the issue at this university, it seems it is incapable of providing valuable feedback on my work so continually I just don’t know how to improve and gain higher marks, how am I meant to develop when no one is actually helping me to? I’m at a lower class 2:1 level right now which is basically useless in todays society but no one seems to be able to help me to progress when I ask for help, what am I paying for? I feel completely ripped off and am considering just dropping out as no degree is better than a bad one
Great careers network and student union
This is a very nice apartment and the staff are very patient. If there is a problem, the front desk staff can get a timely reply and solve the problem smoothly.

My experience at the University of Birmingham has been truly remarkable. The institution boasts outstanding academic resources, a vibrant campus life, and a dedicated faculty.

Nevertheless, the university's prime location and its rich educational environment make it an excellent choice for students seeking a high-quality education and a dynamic social atmosphere.

The university of Birmingham has been great as a fresher. The campus is really nice even when Birmingham can be a bit grey at times! There are lots of study spaces with wifi though the main library can get really busy at times. The campus food outlets are expensive but there are enough shops nearby so this isn’t too much of an issue. However the guild does good deals on food so keep an eye out I have found my course (Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences) particularly supportive and inclusive, running lots of extra curricular activities which is great!
Pretty good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
