Manchester Metropolitan University Reviews

The only club I applied for, the biology club, took my money and then didn't say a word. I tried reaching them with no reply. I can't speak for the other clubs though. Everything else is fine.

I have very much enjoyed my experience at Manchester Metropolitan University so far and would recommend it to anybody looking for their next step on the educational ladder. Durning my time at this uni, my tutors have given continued support and have made my learning experience a positive one.

The uni is definitely a good one and it's helped me learn a lot but some work still needs to be done to expand it

I’ve loved my first year at uni and the services have exceeded my expectations. I’m very excited to continue my studies in the autumn.

The Tutors are fantastic and really care for student wellfare.

The uni facilities are good but the teaching isn’t the best. There should be more revision sessions and more than 9 hours a week teaching.

Awful, staff are rude and unhelpful and everything was run very badly

Had a very good experience with this uni

teachers couldnt care less. the whole university is purely there to make money not to help students. all assignments marked with the same score as theyre not read. you get 90% of points on presentation because they take a quick glance. i pay £9250 to get a full time placement which i dont get paid for. and they have the cheek to brag that theyre paying for the application fees.

Amazing student ambassadors to tour you around. And the staff are excellent and approachable

Beautiful,best study experience ever

Very much enjoyed my experience. The uni is pratical and functional. Its more about the learning than the drinking which is more that available in the close city centre

The uni is great the support they give to students is absolutely great and I love being a student here the atmosphere is good and the lecturers are brilliant

Had a terrible experience all the staff were useless and the entire place put me off uni as a whole

So so glad I picked MMU. I had the A levels to get into “better” universities, i.e. University of Manchester, but from the open day I fell in love with MMU and everyone who works here. It’s really supportive and organised. The smallish campus means you never get lost and even the buildings look pretty. My course is more than I expected. I made friends so easily. So happy I chose here.

No community feel, no student engagement in university life. The campus is outdated. I felt lonely and isolated in my halls in first year. Compared to the Uni of Manchester it’s not good.

I enjoy studying here and think the facilities are fantastic.

Having a fantastic experience and love the university, great lecturers, amazing support and would recommend anyone to do their degree here

I love this university a lot. The campus buildings are all very close together, which makes it easy to get around. The union is very lovely with lots of classes going on, such as yoga which I frequently attend! The union shop is decently priced which a variety of products suitable for varying subjects. The union bar is overpriced and the food isn’t that great, however the atmosphere is so nice. The university itself is brilliant. The staff are all fantastic, and there is always someone to help! I really enjoy my course (history) and was very pleased with being able to pick up German too!

Tutors were always amazing and the course I did was great. The students union wasn’t the best, though. It did improve over the time I was there, but compared to other universities it just didn’t have as much going on. I think the Humanity Hallows and MMU Make a Difference were both really good organisation, and a credit to the university

amazing career service and help getting placement. not much to do in union or anywhere to sit comfortably. pretty average all round

Really accessible uni with great facilities

Very supportive university, in terms of careers and well-being. Competent and professional staff.

Amazing university with great facilities

Great university, very modern facilities. Can always get a computer/ books when needed. Loads of clubs/ societies on offer, something for everyone. Staff are brilliant in terms of lecturing and a lot are in the very forefront of their field. (I can only speak for Chemistry however)

The brand new business school at Manchester Metropolitan University is tremendous. The University itself is very intriguing.

Very up to date viby university just needs more activities around the campus to get more people involved

It is a good university! I just believe that simple mistakes by the university cost it such a low place in the league!

It's a decent university however, we seriously need a bigger library and study centre

In second year, and loving my uni experience so far

Theres a lotof things going in the union, you just have to look and choose what to be part of.. the facilities are good and there opportunity for part time job that you get help you gain work experience in some sectors but you gain so many skills out of it..

Nice people and most of the lecturers are very helpful but just wish the student union had a better nightlife and wasn’t as expensive.

I had a terrible experience at mmu. The campus was great and the choice of societies was fair enough but being a student who lived at home and studied on the birley campus i was isolated from the rest of the uni. When things started to go wrong in my academic placement the staff at the uni made it worse for me by not supporting me and telling the school where i was on placement about this issues in my personal life which lead to them kicking me out the school (despite none of the issues i had being my fault). When the placement ended i was given 3 choices, change courses, resit the module next year or drop out. Due to the way the staff at the university treated me i chose the latter. I would not reccomend the university if you need somewhere that is going to support you if youve had any sort of personal difficulty in the last 5 years every tutor will just palm you off telling you to go to student support (who were just as useless as the rest of the staff)

Great campus/halls friendly teachers

Very poor library always busy not enough computer

Amazing university, everyone is lovely, really helpful

Everything is ok but nothing is particularly outstanding. There is a huge variety of people from all kinds of backgrounds which makes it hard to accommodate all.

Banging Uni, class social, bun the union good enough nights out as it is.

Overall good facility’s across various buildings tutors helpful. Feedback could be better or more organised.

The lecturers are amazing and are willing to help us understand what we dont. Everyone is very friendly.

Nights out are amazing and the uni is great! Drinks are cheap in the union and there’s always something going on

I came here through clearling and honestly wasn’t expecting the standards I’d been promised at university of Manchester but I think it’s such good university! The lecturers are so helpful and understanding of any issues you’ve had

excellent facilities tutors who care

A great university with people that work hard to make sure you’re happy. Plenty of sports societies, nights out are great especially social wednesdays. Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else

Moved from Sheffield and love Manchester. Would recommend this uni to all students.

University were very helpful in helping me transfer to another course within the uni

Amazing staff all incredibly helpful and hard working

In short.... I should have gone to a different university

It has been fun the nightlife is good there is something for everyone

An outstanding university, I am delighted I selected to attend MMU

Very good university but could be better in term of internet and help for students in need

Good clean facilities, friendly teaching staff and lots of opportunities available

Good clean facilities, friendly teaching staff

More clubs and societies required

Campus facilities are average, not very modern unless you study business or law where there have been new buildings built

Brilliant university which has every facility and service possible for a thorough education

Good university, nice campus location

MMU is a place for future professionals with excellent real world work experiences available and world class teaching staff. The facilities fit the standard of the city being modern and in the heart of the city. The facilities are second to none

Felt right at home moving to Manchester and the fit right into the university. There is always someone to help and the library has great recourses. Accommodation all relatively nice especially Birley, night life is amazing and a wide range for all

MMU have the most supportive lecturers and tutors. They care about their students and the opinions students have, are passionate about the subject they teach and know what they're talking about. Facilities are good, as is the mix of students in classes/lectures.

Brilliant university. Has a great library, and campus facilities are great too. Staff can never do enough and treat you like their equals.

Great course and really good lecturers and staff who are always there to help and encourage you no matter what. Staff are always approachable about any topic, and point you in the right direction with lots of aid. So much help with dissertation advice and planning during second year; staff make you feel like a friend.

Foundation year had nothing to do with the linked degree, and somehow they managed to have about 4 left wing societies and 0 right wing ones with a ton of propaganda around the uni. I decided to take a year out after the foundation and now think it's a huge waste of money unless you're doing science.

I’m in my second year, and everything has been brilliant so far. The tutors are helpful, support staff are friendly and there are so many good facilities and events for students of all different types.

MMU is a fab University - loads of resources available and really helpful tutors that will go the extra mile to make sure you’re not struggling.

The staff are so supporting they reply to my emails at any time of the day even over the holidays!

I’ve had a great time at this uni and think that it has great facilities and teaching staff with a good social side as well!

Tutors are telling you to use youtube or lynda to learn things like architectual plans rather then having full on sessions.

The support and opportunities that MMU provides is unprecedented, despite being constantly undermined by the UoM bring just down the road

Manchester metropolitan university is truly amazing, i study Fashion business and management and i am very happy with the support i get from tutors daily! The campus is fun and big and there are like a ton of societies! The tutors are the biggest helpers and im super impressed with the education! Help is available everywhere through student union and everyone is super understanding!

Everything you could want out of a uni, a 24/7 library cause they know students don't sleep! The union bar is great and there are so many societies to be part of!

Manchester met is fab best uni in the country easy peasy

Lots of space to study in library and Brooks building. Library is really good, 24/7. Has so far had all the books I need. Not many societies. Only religious ones, music ones or political ones. Poorly advertised - saying they have hundreds. They do, but hundreds if you're religious or love politics. Wifi is good. However it takes about 15 tries to download a powerpoint because it can't "get a secure connection".

Really disappointed with my time and money spent here. I would not recommend a part time masters here due to the disorganisation of staff and the lack of feedback and support. This includes trouble with dyslexia. Some modules have been taught with passion and clear structure, beneficial to my career aspirations. Whilst the majority have been dull, poorly taught and lack skills needed in real life situations or standard work protocols. Part time courses at my particular 'campus' have little link to the other campuses and result in no societies, student reps, disability/career/student services but the admin staff at this campus are very willing to help but cannot offer the same service. Would not recommend university at all.

The facilities are ok and the wifi works the majority of the time. The biggest let down about the University is the students and the level of teaching. Throughout my time at MMU I did not learn anything more than what I already knew, a vast amount of the lectures are useless and the degrees they offer are not specific enough to be useful after University. I have resorted to taking my degree off of my CV as it has only impeded by job searching rather than improve it. Please do not go to this University. You will regret it.

Great uni. Shame the student halls are fully of power hungry security but hey ho that's life

Absolutely awful university. The teachers don't put the time and effort into even marking your work properly. in my final year I have my main unit leader going on holiday to india instead of marking our work. 0 help available. the teachers either don't reply to your emails or don't put any effort it. in all three years we have never really been given the opportunity to talk to other members of the class meaning no one makes any friends. the units feel rushed with teachers putting in minimal effort. There are some good teaching as well for some units which have the weeks listed online to look at but the inconsistency of it all makes this a terrible university, if I could have gone somewhere else I would have, been a waste of time. don't know a thing about my course subject either after 3 years of studying it. I want my money back. p.s Get your print done somewhere else because the university charge a fortune. £20-30 for a portfolio. ridiculous. AVOID

all ok. happy with the campus, lots of diversity

Great uni! I really recommend it, especially the Business School! 10/10!

Good wifi, library is amazing - so useful for different needs of all students such as the quiet zone, group zone, etc

Worst university I have ever seen! Upon arrival for an interview, I was told to go to the fourth floor and somebody will be waiting for me. I went up in the lift, only to see that the doors open on both sides, so I had no idea where to go. I went for the side with more people, and waited. I was ignored for a good 10 minutes by staff and students. Nobody spoke to me and I stood around like an idiot. I wandered over to the other side, and there was nobody. I then went back downstairs and asked the receptionist again. This time I got more detail in the directions, which led me across a bridge and to another help desk. Not really 'go to the fourth floor and be greeted' as previously specified. I then was given a half arsed tour by a man who couldn't even open the doors. He took us to a room and sat us all down, me and the other students, and we waited. I of course was last for my interview, waiting 4 hours and a half for a 10 minute interview with a pretensious snob. Awful.

Great community and learning environment

Big campus, at first difficult to navigate but some buildings are very modern but the Business school does not have heating.

I don't really use the students union because it's bit rubbish. I just go to my communal hub in my accommodation in First Street

I am going manchester metropolitan university

Awful Awful Awful, if your even thinking of applying dont. Just dont, awful staff awful security team. The whole place is run by idiots. The grounds are good, and admittidly there are a few good team members who care about the uni. The dean however is a sarcy nasty woman who doesnt care about what happens on her campus or halls. The halls themselves are awful, if you enjoy hardcore drug use and no sleep then go for it. Because 99% of the people there dont go to lectured and spend most of their time stoned, leaving them in aggressive or ill states that you then have to deal with.

Great for mature students. Lots of support. Library staff are amazingly helpful.

Love my campus, I'm at the Birley campus which is only 2 years old. Gorgeous building with lots of facilities to help me on my course. Great student union, beautiful building with plenty to do/get involved in.

No complaints actually, though marking can be slow and feedback shoddy

The wifi in university is very temperamental, but it does work when it connects. They have very good facilities and clubs/societies with lots of choice and good prices, but the library does need to be bigger!!

Never tried the sports or societies as none appealed to me. Internet goes off as you move about the building you study in and sometimes doesn't load back up. Big library and spaces to do work. Workshops for engineering students are no where near big enough. And printers always seem to break/not do as you want. Student union has a good shop and coffee area. Bar was okay for students freshers night when I went but the hall space seems too small to hold the open fairs

They will stand there, spit words out of their mouth and expect you to know it. Teaching staff are rude, shout, talk down at you, they think that its like school where students can be treated like rubbish. Some even start moaning if you play on your phone, the whole dynamic of teaching hear autocratic. Less than 50% of students attend classes and when they do they are falling asleep no one attend seminars because you don't do anything. 'work shy staff' teaching is really poor, the whole culture is one of where they treat students poorly, students take up debt and drop out. Obtaining a degree from this university will reduce you career prospect, you won't get anywhere the quality of outputs of students is really poor. The teaching staff half of them are not approachable at all and have can't do attitude to work and students, they just ignorer you in class and avoid engagement and bonding with you. The staffs here are conservative, brown noes teaching staff who education an industry wher

Very good nightlife cheap Union etc

So far so good, a few issues at the beginning of the course with time tabling and such but once they were swiftly dealt with it has been very good.

They don't have a men's GAA team which was a shock!

Enjoying the uni so far. Haven't joined any societies, but there seems to be a huge range to suit different interests - students can start their own too. Location is excellent - there are so many shops, bars, restaurants, & the MMU library around so you rarely need to go to the city centre! The only con I can immediately think of is the Wifi not working in some areas of the Business School. Overall it's a lively uni in a great location.

Such a great university experience

All the facilities appear to be new and built for purpose and the facilities are very useful, however the Internet services are unreliable and this wouldn't be a huge deal except that registering requires you to be connected to the student wifi and the computers to register are often busy. The news that the university have moved the homeless who were finding shelter under the nearby underpass was saddening as I would rather not support a university who somehow cannot afford to leave homeless people under an underpass who were simply trying to get by despite the high tuition fees that they have no issue enforcing

Some societies could do more things that aren't costume and fancy dress related, but everyone is really friendly. The mixture of old and new elements of the buildings such as Grosvenor and Benzie makes you realise the effort they put in to put Manchester on the map for university education. You'll get your money's worth for sure!

Modern and full of the latest equipment to help enhance education

Good facilities and lecturers, Helpful task and good atmosphere.

Halls terrible, wifi doesnt work properly

Staff are always welcome and ready to help.

Love the career focus and in particular jobs4students offers really valuable experience for students

I attend the Manchester school of art at MMU and it is by far some of the best facilities at university level in the uk. My course allows me to take a much more personal approach to my work instead replicating what others think I should be creating much like many of the British art schools.

Great uni, in a great diverse city, with something for everyone 24/7

Manchester is the perfect place to be as a student! Couldn't think of anywhere Id rather study!

I love Man Met, I think it's a great uni in a lively city. The opportunities for work in creative areas doesn't get much better than here, most of the buildings are modern and have a great atmosphere!

Most sustainable and environmentally university with an excellend academic crew. Giving students any kinds of supports from employability and future careers to achieveing the best possible academic excellence

The only thing that's bad about the university campus is the homeless people in the middle (which sounds awful) but it's only because they shout abuse at students when they're drunk. Other than the few that do that the majority of them are lovely. There are loads of societies to join (more than 100) so there's something for everyone there and they host so many social events so there's always something to do. The wifi is pretty good and easy to connect to. There's not really any fuss and it is a pretty good speedy connection.

I'm still in induction week so don't know exactly what it's like yet but from what I've seen so far it's good.

The birley campus is brilliant. Rooms easy to find and everything is very modern
