 " The Psychology team at BCU are brilliant. I loved BCU so much I came back for postgraduate and I'm so glad I did. Academic staff are very student centred and supportive. Also the starbucks have student discounts so a medium coffee is just under 3 pounds and I think that's great! "

 " A very good institution with plenty of facilities available. The buildings are modern, well-equipped, and offer lots of space for independent study. There's also a good variety of food options around campus. The only downside is the parking. There aren't enough spaces, and there's often queuing throughout the day. "
