Choosing a university involves more than selecting a course, as the city, facilities, academic support, and student experience can all shape university life. A Media Production student at Birmingham City University shares five things they particularly value about studying at the university.

1.⁠ ⁠Birmingham Has Something for Everyone

Birmingham offers students different ways to spend their time outside university. In the video, the student highlights areas such as Digbeth and Broad Street for nightlife, while those looking for something quieter can visit the library or take a trip to Cannon Hill.

This variety gives students the opportunity to enjoy the city according to their own interests and lifestyle.

2.⁠ ⁠Professional Facilities

The university’s facilities give students opportunities to learn in professional environments. The Media Production student films the video inside an industry-standard studio and highlights that one of the UK’s largest green screens is located nearby.

Birmingham City University also provides facilities including courtrooms, laboratories, textile rooms, and other professional spaces designed for different areas of study.

3.⁠ ⁠Staff Expertise and Support

Industry experience can help connect academic learning with the professional world. According to the student, lecturers on their course have backgrounds in the industry, while visiting lecturers who continue to work professionally also contribute to the learning experience.

Students are also provided with a personal tutor from the beginning until the end of their studies. This gives them someone they can approach when experiencing difficulties or needing additional support.

4.⁠ ⁠The Students’ Union

The Students’ Union contributes to both the social and practical sides of university life. Students can enjoy facilities such as an on-campus bar, get involved in activities, or even create their own society around something they are interested in.

Getting involved can also provide opportunities to build experience and strengthen a CV. The Students’ Union can additionally support students who need help with issues related to housing or their course.

5.⁠ ⁠Learning Resources

Birmingham City University provides learning resources connected to different courses. From the library and studios to laboratories, these resources can help students develop their knowledge and understanding of their subject.

The student also highlights the support available from university staff, who can assist students with both academic and personal situations.

The student experience at Birmingham City University extends beyond classroom learning. Life in Birmingham, professional facilities, experienced staff, the Students’ Union, and learning resources all contribute to different aspects of university life.
