Student views
What our students say...
“Originally from Cyprus, I knew I wanted to continue my studies in England but it was a matter of choosing a good course that would help me develop my skills than the location. After visiting Birmingham City University at one of the Open Days; exploring the facilities and speaking to some of the lecturers, I was 100% sure that this university would give me the knowledge and experience I was looking for.
"I like Birmingham, it is much friendlier than London and luckily for me, I found the course that would help me with my career. I will never forget what BCU has taught me. The uni life is one of the most important experiences for a student. Especially if the university is as good as BCU…”
