Birmingham City University has well constructed and affiliated courses.
Tips: We will get an opportunity to meet people from different countries and get to know their cultures and experiences. I received a scholarship of 32000 from the university for my merit score in Bachelor's. Overall, I'm satisfied with this university and the course as they have excellent and relevant modules. To speak about this country, it's quite expensive presently because of inflation. But having a part-time job might help you to manage your expenses.

A good educational institution.
Tips: BCU is good for taking admission and studying in UK. The University is a multicultural institution where we can make friends from different countries like Japan, China, USA, etc. The faculty is so friendly and studies are stress free. Students should know the skills of doing work on laptop because studies and assessment are done through assignments and most of the Indian students are only familiar with pen and paper.
Likes (Value for money): Birmingham City University offers education that is so helpful for getting a good job in England. They offer support for every aspect of life. I was given £2000 bursary on joining. Students can borrow laptops from library and the staff is friendly. They offer huge work opportunities within the course.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The Graduate route scheme is introduced by the Government which gives two year work visa to the students after course completion. However, after two year work permit, the steps are unclear. Students have to look for companies that may sponsor them for further visa. These companies sometimes ask for huge amount of money in exchange for sponsorship.

The college is in the heart of city.
Tips: Birmingham City University offers a diverse culture of many different courses, and cultures from around the world. Known for its excellent courses and strong industry connections, It provides practical career-focused education. The vibrant student community is something that makes student life fun. Students should explore various clubs, events and activities and be a part of them.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many different kinds of restaurants available in the locality serving world cuisines at an affordable rate for the students on campus. I usually prefer cooking myself as I'm a vegetarian but there are few veg options available as well, so sometimes I do try those.
Dislikes (Value for money): The course fee is justified and everything around the campus, facilities provided for students, staff support, and everything adds up to make it a value-for-money decision. There are also scholarships available for students coming from an international background.

The best college for both national and international students.
Tips: Students should carefully consider the course and college they have selected. Merit students will get the best scholarships based on their academic achievements. They should also focus on their academic scores and English proficiency test scores, such as IELTS, PTE, and Duolingo.
Likes (Part time work): We enjoy our time in the library studying with friends and discussing every aspect of our subjects. We also enjoy events like cultural activities and group discussions regarding our subjects. Students from different cities are there in our college and they are friendly with their fellow mates.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The faculty is always available to help students, and they are very good at explaining even the most difficult concepts. The facilities are also very good, and they exceed the expectations of the students. The teachers are very understanding and patient, and they never get annoyed with our questions.
