What our students say...
“I chose Birmingham City University because it offers a top-up programme which is very beneficial to me. I want to work in finance within a bank or company. I have three relatives who have been very successful in finance, and I want to be like them. I like that you learn the theory in the course, as well as how to use programmes and how to analyse data. The tutors are very helpful and I know I can email them if I don’t understand something, and they will answer.
"Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK, so I love living and studying here; I work part-time in a local restaurant so I earn money alongside my study. It’s a very lively city and I’ve made lots of international friends; you will never get bored of living here and moving here won’t be a culture shock as there are lots of Vietnamese and Chinese students. After I graduate, I want to go home to work in finance but maybe I will come back to do my MBA here in one – two years time.”
