" Generally a good school. School buildings are extremely new and technological. Classrooms are comfortable and spacious. The library is useful. The school has its own dormitory and it is really poorly managed. The school does not have a garden and the socialization opportunities for students are very poor. "

" My time at BCU has been very enjoyable, so much so that I have started a PhD in forensic psychology after finishing my MSc several years ago. In particular I have found the student support to be excellent, as with access to academic journals and research. "

" BCU has provided me great opportunities and experiences, to help me apply the skills I have gained by learning psychology. The course has been equipped with great, and helpful staff with extensive research experience. The course has provided me the opportunity to complete some interesting modules such as contemporary issues and psychology and counselling psychology. The city has a great social scene, to suit everyone whether it be clubbing or cultural experiences in the arts. "

" Very good university to attend. Lots of space to do work and enough computers for everyone. Lessons and seminars are good and informative and assignments are well done but sometimes may be confusing. Lecturers are friendly and approachable and easily contacted through email where they reply very quickly "

" Great university, but mainly because of how great my lecturers are! The university facilities can be better for arts students, but I'm saying this as I'm coming from an arts focused school! I did not feel much welcome at the start of my studies, as the university itself is very diverse and from an eastern European background I felt quite left out. But I much enjoyed my marketing course, the lecturers have been soo welcoming and made my university experience amazing! I had the chance to be part of international competitions, and I can say it has helped me to find a job. "
