Sorry my induction is on the 15th as I'm doing nursing and need to do an ID verification so I have no idea I'm so sorry! I would take it anyway to be sure.
Do you know anyone going to BCU? I'm so worried to start because I'm not in halls and can't meet people before hand and I wanna go to the freshers parties to meet people but too nervous to go by myself haha


Oh right okay & I don’t know anyone!!! & same I’m living at home so won’t get to meet people :frown: don’t be nervous I’m sure everyone will be in the same boat as you. Try and talk to some people! Are the parties like really good? Reminds me of some American “freshers” party lol.

Thanks! I'm gonna try hard to socialise haha. Yeah I think so, they're supposed to be good haha, they have a list of all the events online, there's like a different themed party at a club like every night i think! I know there's a glitter party on the Thursday which sounds fun, haha!

That sounds so cool! It’s so much easier making friends and talking online, would be cool if we see each other aha. I’m in the “curzon building” or something don’t even know where that is.

I'm starting law with criminology too at bcu; the induction starts on the 17th. 😀 I'm living at home too so I'm so glad to find people in my situation. Have you done the pre-arrival task by any chance, I don't even know what it is and the phone line is always busy!!

There's a link on icity which leads to this questionnaire which is really random. It says to bring your results with you on the first day but it's a questionnaire?!! I'm soo confused 🤔

I havent bought any wristbands yet, have you? The idea of going out with people I've known for a few hours is a bit off putting; I'd rather go with someone I can trust. The glitter party sounds fun tho

Hi..I already have unconditional offer letter for MA fine arts Sep'19 in BCU. Need suggestions to make it a perfect choice. A little insight would help. If anyone has any idea about it or any help from your friends of friends n fnds......about this course in BCU! We're previous students able to kick start their career in UK in fine arts.. ? Opportunities for international students?

Hi, sorry to jump in. I am considering applying for the same course! I'm just wondering how your finding it? And if you could give an insight on days you attend for lectures etc so I can get a rough idea.
I faced discrimination

BCU is terrible

Maybe they improved in the last 3 years, but having lived in Bham.... it was the one uni within the city that if you had better grades, you'd do well to avoid
