If you ask someone whether they know where the Birmingham Conservatoire is, they're most likely completely oblivious that such a place exists. That's because it's a 60s retro building hidden in Paradise Circus but showcases some amazing musical talent. I went there for six years whilst learning to play the sitar and was amazed at the number of concerts that are held there. Most of these are performed by musicians who learn here, but the Conservatoire has also played host to some big classical artistes from around the world. The nearest parking is the Town Hall car park close to the Mailbox so if you have others with you that find it difficult to walk, you're better off dropping them nearby first. The building is in desperate need of a facelift and the facilities are outdated. A large coffee shop or bar would be useful for concert-goers too. read more

Birmingham Conservatoire is one of the UK's top music schools, along with the Royal Academy in London and the Northern College of Music in Manchester. In fact, it was ranked top first with the Royal Academy last year, in a national student survey. Nuff said. It continues to produce world-class performers and composers, such as John Webb, Jean Rigby and, errr, Rhydian. As you would expect from a conservatoire, there is a very practical focus to the courses studied here, with numerous concerts and gigs for the students to gain experience in performance, and ensembles, orchestras, choirs and bands to get involved in. The conservatoire was the first music school in the UK to have an active research programme, and is internationally recognised for its developments in electro-acoustics. All in all - top dollar. read more

I worked as an Exam Invigilator at Abbey over the past year so I have an insider's point of view of…read morethe way things are run here. I think it's an exceptional college. Class sizes are small and students get on well with their tutors and peers. Many of the students here are international and live in accommodation provided by the college. Some teachers also live in this accommodation and are there to offer support and guidance to those who need it. There is a great atmosphere in the college, friendly and calm. It's a great place to work and I'm sure the students feel the same. Especially as they get to lounge about over St Paul's Square on breaks!

Common Purpose is a charity that runs leadership courses. The objective is for people to have…read morebetter leadership skills whether for work or just for themselves. One of the main areas of interest is for people to have civic and social responsibility with the long term aim that all of the public benefit. They even have courses for young people aged 18-25 that enable them to have better leadership skills resulting in better job offers. 'Young Million' is run through donations of money and donations of time and this is the area I'm looking to potentially get involved. I thoroughly recommend having a look at Common Purpose whether you are young and unemployed, a professional looking to sharpen your leadership qualities or a professional looking to donate time. Oh and ask for the amazing Louise Teboul in Birmingham.

If you fancy a voluntary job, which takes all your attention - that is a perfect choice for you…read more they pay £10/h If you know a little bit of English and you fancy to mess someone's life while 'interpreting' from your language and into it - the job is for you.They do not expect to show any qualifications or references. Employment contracts are designed against any common sense of employee - employer relationship. If I was to compare it to any other interpreting/translation agencies I have worked for - this one was the weirdest I have ever came across.
