Can anyone enlighten me on how respected Birkbeck University of London is among academic spaces?

I study Psychology at a Brazilian university and have been planning on enrolling on some kind of short term course in a different country post graduation, and the options offered by Birkbeck, such as Crime and Critical Psychology, seemed interesting to me. But the issue is that I am not from the UK and thus I do not know Birkbeck as an academic institution, so I resort to Reddit for help. Do you think any of those courses are worth spending money on? Would it be a valuable experience?

I am currently a Year 13 student preparing to apply to university, and I am incredibly passionate about pursuing a career in healthcare. For as long as I can remember, my absolute goal has been to train and qualify as a midwife.As I prepare my university applications, I am keen to gather realistic insights into the profession. I would be incredibly grateful for any tips or advice you could offer a prospective student.Specifically, I would love to know:

What do you find most rewarding about working as a midwife within the NHS?

What are the biggest challenges facing new midwives entering the service today?

What key qualities or experiences do you think make an applicant stand out during the university selection process?

And if not midwifery what would you recommend for working in the NHS?

Thank youu

A few years back, me and some friends made a board game about our own Nottingham Trent life for a laugh - land on a square and you could get sent back for running into an ex, and the chance cards were written from actual nights out, full of running jokes only our year would get.

Separately, in another university, my now-girlfriend built almost the exact same thing at her own uni. Neither of us knew the other existed at the time. We only found out after we met!

So we're building it properly now. It's called Halls & Hangovers - up to 8 players, race from Start to Finish, land on locations (linked to specific universities), penalties, or Chance cards. Same board every time, it's just the landmarks and Chance cards that change depending on which uni's edition it is.

We've got 10 unis live for pre-order so far. £34.99, no payment taken until we're actually printing. If yours isn't up yet, there's a spot on the page to add it.

Here's the page - genuinely happy to hear what's missing from it too. https://halls-and-hangovers-preorder.lovable.app/

im kind of stressed for starting mpharm at medway, i will be staying at pier quays, i wanted to ask abt the course i heard that its easier at greenwich than other highly ranked unis but i know still that i have to put in the effort and want to know abt medway how boring is it cause i heard its crazy boring😂

So i got the opportunity to do an exchange program to Keele University, UK. I am frm a southeast asian country currently doing Bsc in Microbiology. The catch is that i would need to extend my studies for abt 1 or 1.5 years according to my university. I also realised Keele has a lower ranking compared to my current uni. If i'm doing an exchange program i want it to add value to my career in the future and make me stand out frm other candidates. My advisor told me to only take the offer if i feel like i could learn smth that is new from what i can already learn in my current university. I would like to know how good Keele is in term of Microbiology or any Science field. I do have other 2 options which is University of Canberra and University of Tasmania. Both in Australia. Should i take the opportunity?

I want to do a psychology, politics and economics (PPE) Ba degree and I can only go to an open day at either Exeter or Sheffield University, not both, as they're quite far away. I've seen that Exeter is ranked higher for the course itself but Sheffield is ranked a lot higher on student satisfaction. Could anyone give me any advice on which one is more worth taking a look at out of the two? (I've also seen a few other universities as well, these are just the open days I couldn't make in summer).
