Honest review of Birmingham City University (BCU)

I’m looking to do my masters in accounting and finance at BCU and I was wondering if BCU would be the better choice? I’m an ICAEW ACA qualified chartered accountant and would like to continue my studies to achieve a PhD, therein why I’m choosing to do a masters. I’ve got three questions:

1. Are there other universities like BCU that allow qualified chartered accountants to apply for the fast track masters?
2. Is studying at BCU valuable? Or does it not matter when applying for a PhD seat?
3. What does the general student population comprise of and what are the frequent complaints about the uni?
