    University College Birmingham and Accreditation
    Guys I need some kind of help
    I applied for Business Enterprise BA (UCB) and the course is accredited by the university of Birmingham, I'm an italian student so I don't know what that means in real, for example in terms of employment. Would someone please explain this to me?

    it will say University of Birmingham on the certificate
    this is good as university of Birmingham is part of The Russell Group.

    You will attend lessons at UCB but the UoB issues the degree
    hope this helps

    Thank you for your help!!
    So, you are in UCB? What course are you doing?

    I think that Birmingham could be the perfect city for me and I really want to study there, but I'm worried about this uni because is hard to find info about it!

    Birmingham is a fantastic city! I go to UoB, but if you're looking for info on University College Birmingham (UCB) further than their website have a look at other sites like UCAS or on the Complete University Guide.

    I already have looked on the Complete University Guide as well as ucas site, but I think that the most important advice about an university is from its students.
    Anyway thank you for your post so you study at UoB, I heard that UCB's students can use facilities of UoB, is that possible?

    I'm sorry for my silly questions but for attend university in England I should get a student loan and move from my own country, so I'm a little bit concerned about it!

    Of course you're right in wanting to speak to the actual students. Ask particular questions about what the accommodation/teaching/welfare and support is like and hopefully you'll receive some responses that answer your concerns. Further than that, UCB may have some sort of student ambassador team, so if you cannot visit and speak to people before you attend, they may be able to get you in touch with a student who can talk you through the uni from their perspective.

    As far as I know, UCB students cannot use UoB facilities any more than the average member of the public can. Given its location, it wouldn't be convenient for students at UCB to go there anyway.

    I have a question if I'll get an offer I would like to stay at the maltings, but I don't understand what are the differences between the standard and the ensuite room, is it only the private bathroom?

    the en-suite you have your own bathroom. This is the best option. Always take the private bathroom. plus most of the shared bathrooms are normally full of bits of kids (younger students, not actual bits of kids)
