I want to do Biomed at Birmingham.... I also know I want to be a part of ACS, Cheerleading (if there is a squad) and a Medsoc... but I'm planning on commuting to university everyday. My commute is between 1hr-1hr30, depending on the time of day. I was wondering whether this was feasible?

What's pharmacy at UOB like?
Is there anything that UOB do on their course (e.g. certain placements) that Aston uni doesn't do?

Gym- Any Gym members here with a referal code? From what I understand if you share a referral code we would both get a month free? OR if anyone wants to join the gym this weekend we can also sign up and both get a month free.

Hello, not sure if this is still active but I have applied to UOB Psychology in Education for the 2022 entry. How often do they accept international students and are there students from Singapore in that course? What is uni life like for international students? thank you :smile:

Hi,
Bit late to this but thought a response would be helpful. I did not do Psychology, however, the international community is quite large at UoB and from what I gather. There is a specific international society and guild officer that arranges a range of activities. For more information, you can join the UoB unofficial Facebook page that has all of the guild officers on that you can contact (Fab N Fresh - New).

Hi,
I've received an offer for two courses- Education and Education and sociology. I was wondering of anyone has done these courses and the pros and cons, and also their opinion as to which one they think is better.
Thanks

Does Birm Uni feel big/intimidating?

Hi,
I have been offered a placed in the MPA(Human Resources) Postgraduate Taught Program at University of Birmingham. I actually had also applied for Msc. Human Resource Management. However, I have been communicated that my application is being considered by the school and is currently with the Tutor to make the decision since the admissions team couldn't internally take a decision. I am more inclined towards Msc. HRM instead of MPA Human Resources.

I was looking forward to understand the employability of both the programs independently in UK in the field of Human Resources - Learning and Development. Also, if anyone could help me understand how likely it is to receive an offer for Msc. HRM in my case given the fact that I also already hold an unconditional offer in MPA HR?
