A very nice and beautiful place to study.

It's not bad. It's like any uni. There's always pro's and con's. My only big thing is setting up a society is a pain in the arse and there's so much red tape with the union.
Hi Katie, thank you for your review. Sorry to hear you've had problems setting up a society. If you haven't already done so, I would provide the union with some feedback to see if this is something that can be looked into for you.
No support, no nothing. So done with this university it's a cash grab and nothing else

Good university and nice looking campus

Great university with great facilities and staff.
Thank you for your review :-)
MMU is amazing. I am in my first year and know that he’ll can always be found if needed and this is very reassuring. I love the campus and all the tutors.
Thank you so much for your feedback! We have put a lot of work into the campus over the last few years so it's great to hear that you are loving it!
Great university, the lecturers and tutors are engaging and there’s lots of support available whether that would be for mental health, learning difficulties or general help with assignments.
Thank you for your lovely review! Great to hear that you have you have found our student support useful.
Pretty well rounded uni, in the city so easy access to bars and shops. Some buildings are a bit dated but everything feels new.
Thank you for your review. We are constantly working to improve our facilities, and are working on a new Arts and Humanities building which should be ready in 2020!
Great uni! Very helpful and approachable staff
If you are thinking in do a Master in MMU, Please dont. they will take your money only. - if your non English there is no support and they will fail you. - They do not care, they just say everything will be alright, and you finish the year been advised to take another year. - If your disable student there is few limited support. - The tutors do not have no experience at their subjects (MA Education, Psychology...) , looks like they all in cocaine. - If your Asian they will take all your money and then abandon you. - the course subjects do not make any sense. anyway

Pretty good, could be better lol
Much better than expected, amazing lecturers and met my best friends in the climbing society
University really ensures that there is a good leaning environment set up and facilities are all well kept
I'm a international student for MMU, and my experience has been amazing so far. The teachers are amazing and the facilities and campus are awesome.

I love it here, Ive settled in really well

Great facilities, friendly society's and an awesome nightlife on campus and in Greater Manchester
Thanks for leaving such a positive review. Once of the highlights of studying in Manchester is the great nightlife available, and it's great to hear that you are enjoying some of our societies!
Great facilities, societies and helpful staff
Thank you so much for your feedback! It's great to hear that you have joined some of our societies. We have put a lot of work into the campus over the last few years to make sure our facilities make for a better student experience, so it's wonderful to hear your feedback.
LOVE MANCHESTER METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY !!!
Wow! Thank you for such positive feedback! :-) We are glad that you are anjoying your studies with us.
It's hard work but it has a great atmosphere
Very on policy and organised university, with great functioning facilities and productive staff.
I’ve just started my first year at MMU, and found the facilities are second to none. The seminars are engaging and the range of information given in lectures is really valuable. Manchester is a vibrant student city and I’d advise anyone to study here.
Hi there, thank you so much for the lovely feedback. Manchester is a great student city and it sounds like you are getting a lot out of your course. We hope you continue to enjoy your studies with us!!
Never really used the facilities, not my cup of tea. Mainly for nerds and that sort of bizarre group
I am very happy and glad that i chose Manchester Metropolitan University. My tutors are really helpful and they always provide us with the resources and information that we need. There are many opportunities and things that you can do while you are studying that can enhance your CV such as course reps and jobs around campus and uni! I really enjoy my university life here!
Wow! Thank you for giving us such a positive review. We are really pleased that you are enjoying your time as a Manchester Met student.
The university is multi cultural and you will fit in, regardless of who you are. So if you are quiet like me, it does not really matter.
Thanks for your review. We also think that there is something for everything at Manchester Met University and we try and do our best to make sure that everyone fits in. We noticed that you have only given us 2 stars, if you do want to provide us with any more feedback, if there is something that you are unhappy aboput, please can you email us at manmetuni@mmu.ac.uk and we will respond to you.
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.
Sorry to hear this! If you haven't done so already, I would report this to the Student Union so that they are aware of what happened. Rebecca
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.
Thank you for your lovely review :-) We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your studies with us! Rebecca
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.
That's great to hear! We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your studies with us!
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.
Thank you for your review, and glad to hear that you are enjoying our facilties. Have you thought about speaking to your Course Rep about the experience you have had with the teaching? They act as the voice of their course mates, and attend meetings with our Faculty Staff, so will be able to feedback any suggestions you have. Rebecca
Awful, staff are rude and unhelpful and everything was run very badly
I'm sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience with us. If you are still studying with us, have you tried speaking to your Student Support Officer? They are there to support you with any problems you experience whilst at university, and can help escalate your complaints to hopefully make your studies with us more enjoyable.
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
Thank you! :-)
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
Thanks for the review Sophie! Great to hear that you love being a student here! Rebecca
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.
Glad to hear that you've enjoyed your studies with us! A lot of work goes into our campus to make it a great place to study, so it's great to hear such positive feedback!
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.
Sorry to hear that you didn't enjoy your studies with us. You may want to provide some feedback to our Students Union regarding the lack of community feel and student engagement. A new SU team has just been appointment, so hopefully they will be looking at new activities to increase a the community feel around the university. We are always looking to improve our campus, and we are currently building a new Arts and Humanties building which should make the campus more modern and improve the student experience. Rebecca
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
Great to hear that you are having a fantastic experience! Hope you continue to do so throughout the rest of your course :-) Rebecca
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!
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review! We are glad you are enjoying your studies with us. Our Union are always happy to hear feedback from our students, so feel free to leave them some feedback on their website. Good on you for taking advantage of our Uniwide Languages scheme, by picking up German alongside your History degree. It's a great skill to put on your CV!
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
Thank you for your review. Our Student Union are always happy to hear feedback from students, so feel free to leave some feedback on their website. A new SU team has just been elected, so hopefully they will be looking at previous feedback and seeing what new activities they can put on for our students. Great to hear that you enjoyed our student magazine Humanity Hallows. The students who run the magazine put a lot of effort and hard work into it, so i'm sure they would really appreciate such positive feedback!
amazing career service and help getting placement. not much to do in union or anywhere to sit comfortably. pretty average all round
You may want to provide some feedback to our Student Union on their website. A new SU team has just been appointed, so hopefully they will be looking a new acitivites the SU can host for students. Thanks for the feedback about our careers service! You will have access to their great services after you graduate as well.
Really accessible uni with great facilities
Very supportive university, in terms of careers and well-being. Competent and professional staff.
Thanks for such a positive review! It's great to hear that you've had a high level of support from careers and wellbeing.
Amazing university with great facilities
Thank you :-)
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
Glad to hear that you are loving your university experience! Hope you continue to do so for the rest of your studies.
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)
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm really sorry that you did not enjoy your experience with us. As a University we try to make sure that we offer support to all of our students throughout the duration of their course, with Student Support Officers in each faculty, the Union's Advice Centre and many other services available to those who need support. I'm sorry that this support was not offered to you whilst you were here with us and can only offer my sincerest apologies. If you would like to get back to us with any further feedback then please do not hesitate to do so by replying to us. I wish you all the best in the future. Rebecca
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
Thank you for leaving a positive review! We hope you continue to enjoy your studies with us :-)
More clubs and societies required
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. If there isn't a club or society in an area you are interested in, have you tried setting up your own? This is something The Union offer and they would be happy to have a chat with you about it. Their contact details can be found at https://www.theunionmmu.org/contact-us/.
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
Thanks for leaving such a great review! It's good to hear you're having such a positive experience with us.
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.
Thanks for such a positive review! It's great to hear that you've had a high level of support from the staff here. We hope you continue to have a great experience with MMU!
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 sorry you feel you've had a bad experience. If we do not have a society in the area you are interested in, have you thought about setting up your own? This is something that the Student Union offer, and you can contact them at theunion@mmu.ac.uk if you are interested. In terms of the content of your Foundation Year, have you tried talking to your Student Support Officer in regards to your teaching and learning experiences? They are there to support you with any problems you experience whilst at university, as well as provide guidance to help you achieve your goals. Please visit our website for information about our Student Support Officers and how to contact them: http://www2.mmu.ac.uk/business-school/study/student-experience/student-support-officers/I hope this helps.
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.
Thanks for such a positive review! Glad to hear you're having such a great time studying here!
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.
Thanks for such a positive review! We hope you continue to enjoy your studies with us.
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".
Thank you for your review! If we do not have a society in the area you are interested in, have you thought about setting up your own? This is something that the Student Union offer, and you can contact them at theunion@mmu.ac.uk if you are interested.
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.
I'm sorry to hear that you've had a bad experience. If you are still studying with us, have you tried speaking to your Student Support Officer? They are there to support you with any problems you experience whilst at university, and can help escalate your complaints to hopefully make your studies with us more enjoyable.
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.
I'm really sorry to hear this. We do regularly review our courses, to make sure that our graduates are employable for both the private and public sectors. If you graduated within the last three years and are looking for work, then you will still have access to our careers and employability service. They can offer you careers advice through their online careers service or over a face to face appointment. They also work with local employers who are look to recruit graduates from MMU, which can be really beneficial if you are looking for work within the Greater Manchester area.
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
I live in Cambridge halls which for £100 pound a week was disgusting we had mice for the best part of 2 mouths and every member of my lecturing staff where as helpful as a chocolate tea pot. The only positive thing I can say about the university is the location in the city.
24 hour libary with 100s of computers. Say no more! Great enthusiastic tutors too!
I really enjoy being a student at Manchester metropolitan university. I have had a really good two years here with the course being organised well and meeting lots of good friends through the uni. The student union is in a good location to the uni and is massively improved from last year. The wifi and Internet faculties on campus are really good and there's lots of places for you to get access to a computer within the campus and especially within the library. This campus is not particularly big which makes it easier to get around and the business school (where I study) is a really good place to study and be taught.
These modern lectures are the perfect setting for a romance to blossom and that's what happened to me. Unforgettable experience
There are very few societies outside of sports societies, the gym's free weights room is abysmal, considering the price for membership. University WiFi is alright in certain areas. The food from the cafeteria leaves a lot to be desired. My course (primary education) is run terribly, I would not recommend it to anyone. The lecturers haven't got a clue
mmu needs to concentrate more on the Crewe campus rather than central Manchester
extremely satisfied!!!
I'm from Manchester anyway but I always wanted to move away to study but with having a young family this wasn't possible. MMU was my first choice and I'm very happy. The university has offered great support when needed due to family issues, the transport networks around the university are excellent and allow me to commute dayly, the library is open 24/7 (I don't use this service as I travel an hour dayly, but I think this is fantastic for students living in halls!) If your interested in sustainable living then this university is great for recycling. The best thing of all though is the loyalty discount (I think its called!) That if you do your undergraduate degree there and carry on to do your masters and ph.D then there is a 70% discount on tuition fees!! Overall I think MMU is a fantastic university with very supportive staff and I wouldn't go anywhere else to continue my education!
Cons?
None!
Pretty cool - law student
Great area, great teachers who listen to your suggestions, great new facilities and new union, plenty of advice and help available and just good in general
Cons?
Can get very busy in certain parts of the uni and library.
