Birmingham City University partners with Student Voice AI

Published Feb 18, 2026 · Updated Feb 18, 2026

18/02/2026 — Glasgow, United Kingdom — Student Voice AI, the UK's leading text‑analytics provider for education, announces that Birmingham City University (BCU) has selected Student Voice AI to support institution‑wide analysis of open‑text student feedback, with reporting for faculties, schools and programme teams.

Universities collect large volumes of qualitative feedback through surveys such as the NSS, module evaluations and internal instruments. Turning those comments into evidence that can be tracked over time — and used in action planning at programme level — requires consistent categorisation and clear outputs. Student Voice AI will support BCU by applying a consistent approach across these sources and categorising open‑text comments into comparable themes and sentiment, year‑on‑year and across disciplines.

Sector benchmarks will show how patterns at BCU compare with the wider sector, helping leaders distinguish institution‑specific priorities from trends common across comparable programmes.

What Birmingham City University will receive:

  • Theme and sentiment analysis across surveys and internal feedback sources
  • Sector benchmarks to contextualise results against comparable institutions and programmes
  • Segmentation by level of study, year group, mode of study, campus and discipline
  • Summary reporting for faculties, schools and programmes, covering strengths and areas for improvement by theme
  • Plain‑language briefing notes tailored for senior leadership and programme teams
  • Automated redaction of personal identifiers so material can be shared appropriately

Student Voice AI runs on controlled infrastructure without third‑party model providers, designed to support UK GDPR requirements and the original purpose for which student feedback was collected.
