Super efficiency and enthusiastic service, especially at this bargain price, it is hard not to give a five-star.

What is Manchester like?
Manchester is one of the UK’s best cities for students. It is a diverse and thriving city, blending a rich industrial past with a trailblazing future. There are people of all ages and all cultures building their lives here. But at its heart, the city retains a proud and distinctly Mancunian identity. The different districts of the city are like individual villages, easy to get around, and within walking distance of each other. Each part of town has its own character, ambience and particular tribes. Manchester is a truly exhilarating place to come and learn – no wonder so many people stay here after they’ve finished studying.

Hi,
This year students were given photoshop to dowload on their own comptuers due to Covid-19 and not being able to be on campus. However, we can not guarentee that this will be the case moving forward.
I would advise attending on of our opendays and have a chat with one of our course tutors, and explore the facilities. You can register here.
Yes, our Online study courses are a approapriate to lead you onto further capmus based courses.
Sorry for the delay in responding. We would not be able to comment on what the best choice for you would be. We would advise reading our course modules, attend an open day - speak to the staff and current students to get a feel of the course and compare it to other universities. We want you to be happy and make the best choice for you.

Having moved to Manchester in a pandemic, I have found the facilities and socials very easy to access and they are very welcoming.
Manchester metropolitan is a good university. Wide range of many courses to choose from & very experienced lecturers to help you with need be.
Haven’t really experienced everything due to Covid but on my course the facilities are good and there seem to be lots of clubs. So close to the city too
The facilities are great, with good internet and home environment. The staff are very friendly and can find them to repair quickly when there is a problem with the room.There was a hole in the wall of our kitchen one day.

Thanks for such a fantastic review! We're really happy to hear that you've had a great experience with us :)
A nice university with lots of good facilities. The staff try and help you as much as they possibly can and they are really helpful.
Great to hear you're enjoying life here at Manchester Met! Best of luck with your studies :)
In this special year, I failed to experience the campus life. I've been taking online classes at home. Fortunately, the online class experience was good.
Not many isssues since haven’t been there much looks alright lively
A really great university to study at. I was apprehensive before arriving as I didn't know what to expect, but the lecturers were super helpful and welcoming. I'm really glad I chose to come here.
Thanks so much for such a positive review - we're really pleased you're enjoying your time with us :)
Awful university - do not come here! I wish I went to any other university - MMU support is little to none and when you ask tutors for additional support or have something to say about their teaching, they get hostile and don't want to waste their "time" to support their students even though we're paying £9k. Go somewhere else - you're better off!
Hello. I'm really sorry to hear you feel you've had a bad experience with us. Have you tried addressing these issues with a Student Hub Adviser? Or perhaps speaking to the Student Union Advice Centre? If you'd like to follow this up please email me at courses@mmu.ac.uk. Thanks, Sophie :)
Manchester Metropolitan University provides students with an excellent learning environment. The modern facilities help students develop their skills and capabilities. Additionally, lecturers who are experts in their field create a highly interactive learning environment, a fact which plays an important role in the quality of the courses. The University is fairly among the best universities in the UK.
living environment is good
Manchester Metropolitan University is a fantastic University with amazing academic staff. I am also glad to see that the Uni invests money in order to expand and further improve its facilities and services. I hope it continues to do that. I am certain that the University will have a leading role in the future not only in the UK, but globally as well.
MMU is an excellent uni situated in the heart of Manchester
Due to covid I have no real idea about our campus
We know it has been unusual during this time, we are looking forward to getting back to the campus ourselves as soon as the Government advises and all restrictions are lifted.
I think MMU is a good uni and I’m glad I accepted my offer here. The staff are amazing and always there for advice and quick replies to any enquiries. I’ve had a few issues with the teaching in COVID times in that I’ve not been on campus at all, but other than that they’ve been great and the union are also so helpful.
We are glad you are enjoying your course. We know it has been unusual during this time, we are looking forward to getting back to the campus ourselves as soon as the Government advises and all restrictions are lifted.
Good staff, nice facilities overall would recommend
Kind teachers provide you with plenty of help Student union and student hub both very helpful
We deserve a partial refund of tuition fees
Unfortunately, Covid-19 has affected us all and Univerisites moved to online learning with no warning. Unfortuantely, fees are set by the Government not the instiution themselves. Is there something in particular about your experience that you think warrants this? If you look at our online courses that we offer they have the same fees.
Haven’t managed to gain the full experience due to online teaching but so far everything is good
We are looking forward to getting back on campus too. Hopefully, we will be able to get back to more campus based learning soon.
After completing my UG degree, I'm so glad I chose MMU. The campus is great, modern facilities and unique buildings, loads of study spaces and a really chilled atmosphere. The student union is amazing, so many activities, events, and always something going on there & lots of support services. Well-being and financial services are good. Staff are really helpful, supportive and offer lots of guidance and it actually feels as though the university care about their students. Perfect location right next to the city centre and great sports clubs and societies. Volunteering service and jobs4students scheme are amazing, really helpful and great for building CV's. Absolutely loved my student life here and found I got the support i needed!
We are glad that you had a great time with us during your study. We do have a wide variety of postgraduate courses if you are interested in re-joining us, we would be delighted to see you back.
I loved my undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at Manchester Metropolitan University! The tutors are so passionate about their subjects and the pastoral support is second to none.
Hi, thank you for your feedback. We are glad you have enjoyed your studies with us. Remember our alumni still have access to our careers and employabilty hub. Good luck with your future plans.
River street tower offers students a comfortable stay in a shared accommodation facility. With 24 hour security.It is perfect for residents.
:-) That's really great to know. Thank you
great. super great. always loved MMU
It's wonderful to hear that you have enjoyed your time with us, we wish you well with your future plans.
My experience in the university has been amazing! Everyone is so friendly, social life is great because the university is based in city centre but most importantly, you get so much support from the staff and tutors within your university years and after you graduate.
It's wonderful to hear that you have enjoyed your time with us, we wish you well with your future plans.
Zero support for postgraduates yet undergrads get a safety net procedure to protect their grades. Zero support during a worldwide pandemic and marking was unnecessarily harsh and not constructive. Some modules were a total mess with a lack of planning or care. Lecturers ask latecomers to stand outside the lecture theatre but then don't invite them in as they forget to check causing those who commute to waste hours of valuable lecture time. Students who are late are also shamed by some lecturers and embarrassed.
I'm sorry to hear that you have had a less than favourable experience. All our courses have access to the student hub, academic services, personal tutors and careers. It has been challenging with Covid-19 but we have put in new safety measures to ensure we are available to students. If you send me an email with speciifcs of your above statements I will certainly get some action taken. All our postgraduate courses require a considerable amount of independent study as that is what employers look for. Our lateness policy of asking students to wait outside was a result of student feedback saying that students who arrived late disrupted the class. Please email courses@mmu.ac.uk to Antonia. I would like to discuss this further with you.
MMU is not a supportive or communicative university. Do not do your Post grad here. There is very little support, the staff are not professional and the PGCE course is a nightmare. Do yourself a favour and go somewhere else! I wish I had.

Fantastic university with lecturers who go above and beyond for their students. Union is seamlessly integrated in University life and make a concerted effort to ensure everyone is involved in social events and aware of what's happening in and around campus. The careers service could do with an update and ensure they provide more adequate help with students CV's etc. and provide more drop in sessions. They also need to be more widely advertised as I didn't know it was available till third year which I felt was too late to do anything by.
Hi, Thank you for your feedback. Our student services have just undertaken a massive revamp, with new space for our student hubs, updated technology and are located in our 3 main campus buildings. I will certainly pass on your feedback and ensure that they are promoting their services to students in all years; including our careers and employability hub. Please ensure that our careers and employabilty hub is still available to our gradutes and alumni once they leave us. Good luck with your future plans.
currently enrolled in the Global MBA online course. Worse course and university ever. Tutor does not reply to emails, student advisor does not reply to email. If anyone is considering the global mba couse, take only if you enjoy struggling as no one will answer to your questions. The only email you will receive is the automated email asking you to pay school fees.
We are sorry to hear that you have had trouble contacting the tutors on the Global Online course, the MCC Learning group are the leaders on these courses and we will investigate this for you. We appreciate students' feedback and we will take this to the team and ensure we do better.
Staff and students have been friendly and until covid happened I very much enjoyed the teaching on my course. Communication between the department and students has always been shockingly bad and even worse since. The teaching has all but stopped too. I'm very disappointed with how we have been all but abandoned during this pandemic.
We are sorry you have felt abandoned during this difficult time, the wellbeing of our students and employees remains our top priority. Please don't feel that you are alone, please reach out to your personal tutor and Neil Wilson, who I am sure will be happy to support you and hopefully be able to provide some clarity and updates. You can also reach out to our student support team.
My 3 years at mmu were the best 3 years of my life! I had the best time, the student life was so much fun, loads of society’s and sports activities to do. The business school facilities were amazing, modern and the access to resources was extensive. Lots of great lecturers and support available. I’d do it all again if I could!
We are glad that you had a great time with us during your study. We do have a wide variety of postgraduate courses if you are interested in re-joining us, we would be delighted to see you back.
