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.

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.
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!
I'm a student nurse and was extremely excited to attend MMU as it seemed like a great university. Unfortunately I've had nothing but problems with the university, from a lack of communication to being told different information by different tutors etc. This has especially been the case during the coronavirus pandemic, I understand it was unexpected but there has been barely any communication to students in regards to placements, accommodation, exams/essays etc. I would've also hoped for some communication between personal tutors checking up on students but I feel like I've been left to struggle on my own. I really wanted to love this university, I understand that with NMC guidance changing and the coronavirus pandemic there have been a lot of changes, but I had hoped for a lot more support and communication. Perhaps my expectations were set too high, sadly, I wish I had attended a different university. One positive is that the campus is lovely and very sustainable.
Manchester Metropolitan is a brilliant, laid back type of university. All the lecturers are so friendly and helpful.
Love everything about the institution . I am happy with my decision
MMU has been fantastic for me over the years. I studied at this Instituition when it was called Manchester Polytechnic. I struggled with my Bachelors Degree course in the 80s I thought that extra academic and care needs support was needed for me. However, I still passed my Bachelors Degree in Chemistry and the Poly as an excellent University for me to study in and the teaching and course quality were very good. When Poly became Manchester Metropolitan University, the standard of education and course quality were excellent and I studied on a 2 year, part time PGCE in Tertiary Education. I passed this in 2005 and was then able to work in colleges and as a supply teacher in schools. From 2014 to 2020, I studied on part time Masters Degree in Education and I have achieved a merit grade, thanks to the tremendous, academic and care needs support of the lecturers and my supervisor was A* for my dissertation. I am really pleased with the MMU and I highly recommend this University to stud
The best place to study. Teaching stuff are excellent, always ready to help Great environment to socially connect and learn State of the art facilities to enhance teaching and learning. I rate MMU the BEST
Has lots of society’s to join, fast WiFi, modern buildings and lots of spaces to work or relax
Thank you for your review. We are proud of the facilities here at Manchester Met. Joining a society enhances your whole University experience. it is good that we had Societies to suit you.
I studied fashion art direction MA at MMU and I very rarely take the time to write reviews however, I felt this one was to be honest, brutally important. The course felt like a wild rollercoaster the whole time and I can honestly say that I never felt settled at MMU, I can’t speak for the undergrad courses because I got mixed reviews from other students however I know the people on my course felt very similar to me. Basically I am writing to tell people contemplating this course to look into it thoroughly and make sure it’s right for you and make sure they have improved their course structure, make sure you get some actual time with your tutors because I never did, I never felt like I really had one... I understand MA’s are supposed to be independent however this one in particular was like teaching and exploring things myself, most of which I did at home without any input from anybody, I never met any industry professionals or people of interest in my year at MMU.
Sorry to hear your course did not meet your expectations. I wonder if you were able to raise these concerns with the Course tutors and or Student Support. this may have helped you with any issues you faced whilst studying. Good luck in your future plans.
Student hub mental health counselling is awful the uni need to sort the welfare of students out and place it as a priority otherwise they will leave which many do after 1 term or 1 year
Thank you for your review. we are sorry to hear that you feel you are not getting the support you need here at MMU. it may be worth contacting your pPersonal Tutor who can guide you to the relevant support. Please dont give up on getting support, contact our Student support team.
Great student life on top of a world class business school enabling students to achieve high scoring degrees along with personal and professional development

Amazing university. Everyone is so helping and considerate. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Facilities are very well laid out to help each individual.

Great university that has a free active campus if you can’t afford to be In societies.
Thank you for your review. we are fortunate to have a great location for our campus. there are so many activities that are in a very close proximity to teaching buildings and halls.
I’ve heard good things from people doing other subjects but do not take international relations. Lectures are sarcastic and think the world of themselves. Course is BORING!
Thank you for your review, sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your subject. You can talk to your Personal Tutor about any concerns that you may have with your course. have you considered changing your course if this is not the one for you? We hope that as you progress you begin to enjoy your experience more.
The teaching is fantastic, tutors are kind and very knowledgeable, and the level of support I have been given for my mental health is outstanding. I study English and Film and the course is fascinating and enjoyable. I love everything about MMU and would highly recommend it to anyone!
We are delighted to hear that you are enjoying your university experience here at Manchester Metropolitan University. It is good that you were able to access the student support we have for students and it has helped you have a positive experience. Hope you continue to do so for the rest of your studies.
Man met is an excellent uni with lots of support and facilities for all, both socially and educationally.
Hi, Thank you for your comments, here at Manchester Met, we pride ourselves on the experience we give our students. The facilities are ever improving with new projects being completed all the time. We have excellent Library facilities with study areas. Student support areas which are easily accessible with the Student Hubs. And a fantastic social calendar through the Student Union.
I currently study Business Management at MMU (2nd year) and I have noticed that the majority of modules that we are studying are more Marketing oriented. Although this is not bad as we can develop our creativity, ot would be better if some accounting or finance modules existed as well.
Hi, have you discussed your modules with your tutor/s. they would be able to discuss with you the rational behind the curriculum for your course. The course lead should be able to inform you about what is coming next in year 3. Good Luck with your future studies.
My experience has been overall very good. I feel sometimes the university isn’t as organised as they should be however I have been overall very successful academically so far and socially it’s been the best few months of my entire life.
Great facilities for independent studies. Lecturers go above and beyond to help students.
An obvious amount of money invested into facilities and updating the university, despite this I feel as tho the teaching by lecturers could be improved significantly, having only experienced a couple of tutors, throughout my 3 year course, which were willing to help me considerably. Unfortunately the rest of my tutors had little of no interest in me and my grades, having taking obvious favourites within the students in my course, investing most of there time in these people. I really do believe that my grade did suffer because of this, and without my own ambitions and motivation I would have not passed the coursework focused course.
Thank you for your comments, we are sorry to hear you have had a dissapointing experience whilst studying here at MMU. We aim to make every students experience whilst at Uni the best it can be. We are pleased you got the pass for your course. We offer support from our Academic and Study Skills Tutors, through Student Support for anyone needing One to One Support. We wish you every success for the future.
Amazing university, go there please.
Thank you for your great review. here at Manchester Metropolitan University, we pride ourselves on our great tutors, fantastic facilities and our super location. we feel it provides a good allround experience for our students.
Easily the best university in Manchester with great psychology facilities. Tutors are knowledgeable, passionate and keen to help. Constantly spending money to improve the uni and themselves. The help they provide new students is great.
Thankyou for your fantastic review, we aim to provide every student with a positive and rewarding experience here at MMU. We wish you every success for the future.
Since I joined late in the year I have found it welcomed me with open arms. Transferring from uom I have found the facilities so much more expensive and tutors more engaging
Manchester Metropolitan University is fantastic with great facilities offering many opportunities to students. Moreover, the courses are very well organised and the personal tutors very helpful as well.
Thank you for your review. We consider ourselves top providers of professionally focused education, where student experience is at the heart of everything we do, our key mission is to develop our students into highly employable, socially and environmentally responsible professionals. We are please that you had a positive experience and was able to connect with your Personal Tutors.
MMU is a very good uni and care a lot about their student and their well-being
Thank you, we do aim to meet the needs of the students to ensure they have a positive time at MMU. Our Student Support team work with the Teaching Staff to make sure this happens.
Proper bad boi business, everybody getting leng and that. if you wanna learn not just about maths n s*** but life and garry's too then this is the gaff, honestly is like that scene on Paul where he touches your head and fills ya up with knowledge. this is what every lecture is like.
A truly amazing University with incredible infrastructure located in one of the best cities of the United Kingdom. The lecturers are very helpful and approachable. However, the Student Union needs to be improved and also the prices of the Union's products should be better for students.
Thank you for your review. We consider ourselves top providers of professionally focused education, where student experience is at the heart of everything we do, our key mission is to develop our students into highly employable, socially and environmentally responsible professionals.

A stunning university campus right in the heart of the city, MMU is a great university for an overall experience and a fantastic education.
Thank you for your great comments. We are very lucky to have our campus so close to the city center; it means that everything you need is right on your doorstep. Our excellent teaching quality has been recognised with a Teaching Excellence Framework Silver award.
So much fun and welcoming atmosphere, it’s actually harder to not make any friends. You fall into so many friendships
Thank you for your lovely review :-)
Felt kinda tricked when I started here - all the videos/promos made the facilities and university look great. But in reality, they only showed the best of the facilities. The library is the most depressing place on earth. Smelly, dark and awful upkeep of toilets etc. It's so uninspiring. The union is disappointing too - not enough to really engage students. It's an ok university, but the facilities, equipments desperately need an update... also the accommodation is SO expensive even for the worst ones, they put the prices up every year - 6k a year minimum. Only come to MMU if you have a high loan. Upside is that they really push placements on most courses and that really helps your job prospects after graduating.
Sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our facilities. Have you left any feedback with the Library? If not, then you can so on their website, and on the Student Unions too. We are always looking to improve our facilities, so feedback is greatly appreciated. Great to hear that you have been offered information on our placements. As you mentioned they are a great way of enhancing the CV for when you graduate.
The university itself has a lot to work on, especially some of the courses in the School of Art.
Exceptional, I recently completed my postgraduate qualification at MMU and I feel more employable than ever before.
MMU is an incredible uni with so many opportunities to grasp during your time there. Only thing for me is there needs to be a drama or musical theatre society that anyone can partake in- even those who love the art but aren’t doing it as a degree can join
Wasn't expecting much from my backup uni but was pleasantly surprised. Great uni with great lecturers.
Hi, thank you for your review and great to hear that you are enjoying your course!
MMU has been a great university experience with supportive staff and diverse facilities. This University reflects the city of Manchester and provides a good library service.
I transferred university from Essex to Manchester metropolitan and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. Everyone helped me get on track right away and I fitted in so well with my course mates!
We have a number of students who have transfered to the UNi from other institutes, We aim to provide the best experience for all our student. It is good to know you settled in well and was made to feel welcome.
I studied English literature here. So the facilities i.e. the Library, the lecture halls and so on were of phenomenal use here. The lecturers were full off support and were always on hand if you needed help academically and personally. The Geoffrey Manton building is incredible with a book swap and sofas down stairs near the lecture halls to provide and incredibly chilled space to go through ones notes from the lectures. The student life is incredible being in the middle of Manchester town centre, it is an incredible chance to soak up the culture off the city, and my peers were more than accommodating, supportive and inclusive, its hard to feel left out at this university. I did not live in the dorms, I can't speak for them facilities but my friends who stayed on the student accomadtion have had nothing but positive things to say about the accommodation.
Lovely university with lots to offer! Everyone is more than willing to help and there’s so much you can immerse yourself into! However, the union needs to improve
as per my personal experience in this university it’s provides the best facilities and the professors are damn good and friendly
Thank you for your comments. We aim to provide the best experience for all students, Academically and socially .
So much fun, gained so much knowledge and experience. Had the best 3 years, modern facilities, so much to do.
Its a good uni very close to manchester city centre with great facilities but students union is abit hidden
MMU Business school is fantastic but i never really felt engaged in the things I learnt about on my course as many of the lectures are purely a lecturer stood talking rather than practical or experience based. Friends at other universities had the opportunity to attend more talks from industry professionals. That said, I achieved highly and had all the support I needed from certain lecturers.
Really good new buildings new library can borrow Mac books every day too
We are pleased you are finding the environment around the University good for your studies. The library is an excellent place to study and has fantastic resources.
I had an amazing four years of my life. I got help every step of the way from lectures, career services, the library (my oh my! My favourite place ❤️), the union and financial advisor (they even contacted student finance on my behalf as they were messing me up) thank you MMU.
Thank you for your lovely comments, they are so nice to hear! We are pleased you received the support you needed from your tutors and our careers service. The Library would love to hear that it is your favourite place, if you would like to let them know you can provide them with some feedback.
It’s a good uni in a lively area but it’s obviously not as fancy as Uni of Manchester for a example. My main issue is that they’re not great at sorting issues and not great at communicating. Still though, I’m glad I chose this university as it’s not just about the uni itself but the place you live have such a big impact on your uni life and I enjoy being where I am.
I loved it there. Had so much fun in learning and lectures were always helpful. If I had any problems the student hub was always welcoming and happy to help.
Thanks, The Student Hub is an integral part of the university and can help students with all their needs.
Manchester Metropolitan university really do go out of their way to help people do better no matter what background. The financial support and student support systems they have in place our fantastic. They provide us with a safe and positive working environment and also offer a wide range of safe and secure student accommodations. I believe it is important to highlight the support they offer to people who don’t come from a fully supported background because without Manchester Metropolitan university I would have lost my confidence in going to university and continuing my education. Many thanks Manchester Metropolitan university :)
Campus is lovely and modern and is easy to settle into. Everyone is friendly! Internet is a big let down as is extremely slow particularly in the Brooks building. Student Union is very helpful
Lecturers (psychology) show very little support towards students and take days to reply to your emails. A lot will resort to telling you ‘look on moodle’ when you want to ask questions. Campus is lovely and modern however and is easy to settle into. Everyone is friendly!
It's a great uni and they are very organised and lectures are very supportive
Thank you for the review we are please you have had a positive experience.
Excellent university with great facilities and staff that are willing to go the extra mile, privileged to study here
best uni, most sustainable, cares about students
A really friendly environment to study in with great opportunities. The lecturers are really helpful and give you the advice you need with all assignments.
Good variety of facilities in art school
Thanks, It is a good place to study and be creative. Manchester School of Art
A great place all round, it has everything and more
Friendly, welcoming experience and with so much to offer
Masters students were lied to before applying for the course in order to increase applicants. The course was poorly run and massively oversubscribed.
It is unfortunate you feel like this, have you contacted student support in the Student HUB or the Student Union they may be able to help.
Hardly saw the tutors. They hardly replied to emails. In second year has hardly any teaching and ws pretty much left to our own devices but expected to create work to fit a brief but didn't explain the work required properly. Really poor teaching from the textiles department
MMU is alright, I don't have the time to get involved with societies sadly!
I have my amazing staff that have been so helpful with the transition from A-levels to university degree I found my course content really interesting and manageable and the building is absolutely superb
Overalk very good but departments vary in quality.
Library is 24/7 and can fine all books and other necessary resources. All the courses are up to date to professional specs.
Very good food and a nice environment at the uni.
Thanks, we have excellent on site catering facilities at MMU. With 12 venues across the campus we aim to offer choices for everyone.
Only 1 out of 4 of my computing teachers actually speak English well at all.
University is great when it comes to facilities and clubs etc but the teaching is poor. I was there for a year and ended dropping out with no support as I didn’t feel my lectures cared and were so half hearted. Fashion department is over rated , it’s awful. Moved to Salford and the difference is unbelievable
Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I'm glad you enjoyed our facilities and clubs, but really sorry to hear that you ended up dropping out because of our teaching and the lack of support. Our Support Team aim to provide support to all of our students, and i'm sorry that you did not receive this. If you would like to proivde any further feedback to manmetuni@mmu.ac.uk, we can pass this on to the Fashion department for you. We hope you enjoy the rest of your studies at Salford.
Two words: wonderful and unforgettable.
Amazing welcoming experience with all modern facilities and great teaching standards
I am enjoying my first year at MMU for sure. Great course (English and Creative Writing) and facilities (24 hour library as well as a poetry library to come in the following year!) The only thing my uni experience falls down on is lacking social side of things which includes societies/inactive societies.
Hi, thank you for your review and great to hear that you are enjoying your course and the library! Have you spoken to the Students Union about the particular society you are interested in? If we don't offer one in that area, or is it currently inactive, i am sure they would be interested in working with you to start the society up.
I’m a first year and the university has been so welcoming and made me feel a proper grown up just living in a different city. The library is 24/7 and although I hope I never have to be there at 3am, it is nice knowing I can stay as late/be as early as I want. The apps that the science students use are also available on the library computers which is really useful if I haven’t finished my work. The library is massive and has loads of different sections (quiet/silent/group) which is useful. The lecturers are all really friendly and very knowledgeable meaning we can throw all kinds of questions at them. The accommodation is amazing and makes me feel at home. Most of the buildings also have a nice modern feel to them so everything is up to date. It’s a great uni :)
Thank you for your fantastic review, we are very keen to make sure you have a positive experience during your time here at MMU. The library is an excellent environment for students to work on their assignments. And a comfortable place to work particularly when in groups. We pride ourselves on the standard of teaching at the University, and that they are contributing to your positive experience. Our eccellent teaching quality has been recognised with a Teaching Excellence Framework Silver award. It is important that you settle in when you are at University and having good accommodation help you do this.
Great uni with lots of support.
Thankyou for the great review.
Great for developing Life skills but terrible Academic teaching
I have received no support whatsoever at MMU, to the point I feel as though I am going to fail my degree.
Hi, i am sorry to hear that you don't feel like you have the support you need. If you are still at the University have you tried contacting Study Skills team? They are a team of dedicated tutors who can offer support on academic writing, presentation sills and can provide feedback on your draft writing. You can also contact our Wellbeing Team for support.
I love my uni - the uni alone is great although the personal life experiences you go through at times are probably anything but...
It is great that your experience here at MMU is good, however it is important to have a balance, have you explored the clubs and societies that are available at the University. These are a great place to meet people.
My time at Man Met has been fantastic. There is always a time of support and opportunities available. My confidence and ambition has continued to grow throughout my time at University. I now run our Law society which is doing extremely well and has in turn provided more and more job prospects.
Lots of support, lots of engagement from the university itself and a welcoming atmosphere all around
Great facilities and great teaching. I always felt safe at MMU and I always had the full support of lecturers and careers hub staff whenever I needed them.
Excellent uni, everyone happy to help whatever it is. great resources and facilities.
Thank you for your commens. We are fortunate to have such good facilities and resources here at MMU. The library offers so much support and information.
Living in accommodation is good for the social life, and a great location as it’s in the central of Manchester. there are societies for everything that also offer a lot. The university it’s self has everything you need, and the tutors personally I find helpful. It’s all round a great university and I’m glad I’ve came.
From being here I've come to the realisation this is a very middle of the road uni. Don't expect anything special. Nuff said
Wasn't my first choice uni when I started, but it's been over a year since I graduated and I wouldn't change a thing. Great standard of teaching, genuinely insightful and passionate lecturers, good range of facilities, mad sports clubs, the list goes on. Three years at Manchester Metropolitan and I feel like I can call Manchester my second home.
Banging uni, loads of support if you need it, and very quick WiFi on campus
Lovely atmosphere everyone really friendly.
Best decision I’ve ever made
Good, under-rated university, tutors do a lot for you and very good social.
I studied LLB Law at MMU and it was by far the best experience of my life. I applied for 3 universities in London because I thought that’s where I wanted to go, but I went to look at MMU first and it set the bar sky high. I knew I was going there as soon as I’d seen it, and that the other places didn’t stand a chance. Everything was beyond amazing! I recommended a friend from home to go to MMU and she’s now currently in her 3rd year studying PR and marketing and she’s having the best time. She contacted me shortly after starting just to thank me for all of the advice, and said she couldn’t imagine herself anywhere else! The city is incredible, the people are so lovely, and everything is all in one place. Couldn’t have chosen a better university to go to, and I’m so so happy I went there. If I could relive it, I would, even the exams and the coursework!!
I’ve studied here for 2 years (2017-2019). Overall good experience and would recommend.
Good first few months really enjoying my time
fantastic that you have had such a positive start.
Amazing university, with a great support system for struggling students. Facilities are outstanding, Brooks building in particular has helpful staff, great communal area and a good cafeteria.
The best university ( I have been to 2 others, one in Uk and one in France)
Such a good uni with new buildings and amazing staff
Really impressed with the uni, buildings are lovely and modern, lecturers are really helpful and knowledgable I’m happy there !
Great university helpful staff came through clearing so glad i came here everyone is so polite and nice
It good that you were able to secure a place through Clearing, and it has worked out well for you.
The facilities are constantly being upgraded so it's a great place for people who do STEM courses. The student union has amazing staff and a union shop which is stocked with food, stationery, hoodies and art supplies. It also has an advice center with staff member that genuinely care and are empathetic to every problem large or small. The careers service is very professional and they will help you in every aspect of job finding from helping you touch up your CV to sending you job vacancies by email every time they are available. Perfect uni in every aspect.
My university surpassed my expectations and I am extremely happy with my choice.
Lovely people, great facilities, some really nice buildings
Inclusive of all students and always gets students together, whether for socials or fairs or meetups. Staff are really helpful and never leave you on your own. Plenty of facilities, plenty of computers, laptops to use if students do not yet have their own. Always food and drink nearby, on compus and in the surroundings.
Attending university to study law and love my lecturers so helpful
We are pleased you are enjoying your course. Thankyou.
Overall had a pretty good experience so far. I’m at the School of Theatre so cant say much about MMU itself
Nice campus, good variety of courses, great social side and useful pastoral care.
Excellent lecturers and facilities.
Very good university for student support, campus is nice and well looked after with good security.
It's got the best well-being support
Overall fantastic experience at MMU. Especially in the politics department.
This uni preaches sustainability but has every student print off their assignments - at a large cost to the student - when they could just be uploaded online! Food is extortionate, from a corporate angle this uni is awful but the student sides - like support and sports, societies etc are amazing, couldn’t fault it!
Thank you for you review, we are adressing sustainability within the University. most of our faculties now require student to submit course work and assignments electronically. However, there is always an expection to the rule and some courses must have deemed it necessary to ask for papers to be printed. In the future we would hope to move to all electronic and have made a substantial effor towards this. On the positive note you seen to be enjoying student life and have enjoyed the extra curricular activities.
I’m so so so glad I chose Social Work at MMU. I literally love my course, my teachers are amazing and the Brooks building is brand new. I look forward to uni which I know a lot of people at other unis don’t. Couldn’t recommend more!
Amazing facilities, modern, easy to navigate buildings. Good food choice in canteen, cafes and student union. Lecturers and tutors very helpful and timetable is consistent.
Honestly best uni, it has everything you could wish for socially as well as the study side being amazing. The career hub there is also available for you to use for 2 years after you graduate!
Mainly focused on research and self working
Absolutely hands down the best of Manchester’s two unis!!
Best 3 years of my life! Would recommended the university and the city.
The student support on my course wasn't particularly good. I wasn't told about a lot of things that would have helped me while I studied. My mum was also really ill in my final year and even suffered from a heart attack but I wasn't given the option of extentions as your unit leader has to sign them off and mine refused.
We are sorry you have not had such a great experience whilst here at MMU. There are Student support systems in place for all students. Students can apply for consideration of Exceptional Factors for short-term unexpected events that have a serious impact. Again we are sorry to hear you had difficulty whilst studying and felt you did not get the support you needed.
Great facilities and very knowledgable staff
Good services and student support. Each area of the university feels unique.
Great uni, great lecturer, great faculties, not much else you can want
Lovely university with many facilities and information points such at the student hubs. The union is big, bright, and a chill place to relax and meet with your friends. Staff are friendly and the modules for my course (English and Creative Writing) are interesting.
My tutors are really helpful and supportive. The WiFi is really good and the facilities they have great as well!
Thankyou for your comments. We pride ourselves on the standard of teaching and the excellent facilities we have here at MMU.
The careers service could definitely be improved by having more careers related lectures or seminars or making careers appointments available to book online. Also there could be more activities to do around the campus that doesn't include being part of a club or society.
University environment feels very professional and I like it.
Thanks, we pride ourselves on maintaining a professional service for all students. This helps create a possitive environment for your studies.
Manchester Metropolitan University is a great, historic and modern University! The campus is large and the facilities which are constantly being upgraded, are outstanding, offering students an excellent environment to study and advance their skills. In addition, there are new student hubs where you can be advised and be given solutions to any problems you may have to deal with. The quality of education is high and the professors and the tutors are very helpful and supportive. Finally, I strongly believe that it is a privilege to study in Manchester Metropolitan University
Thank you for your amazing review, we are happy to hear that you are having such a positive experience. The new Student Hubs are available throughout the campus and the hub staff are happy to help and advise all students.
I barely ever went to uni last year cause I lived in daisy bank and it genuinely made me depressed and so unmotivated so I can’t really say
We are sorry to hear you have had such a bad experience in your accommodation. We have a team of Residential Advisors who can help with any concerns for all aspect of living at UNI. If you are continuing your studies here with us we hope you have found accommodation that suites you better, If you are having any problems at all you can contact Student Support.
Student support staff are excellent, loved communicating with them, lectures and class teachers are so funny and dead on! Even though I quit uni before I finished my degree due to financial reasons, the university staff are always smiling, helpful and makes you feel welcome as if you were at home !❤️❤️
AMAZING university. In such a good location meaning close access to the city. My course was well taught and allowed me to graduate with a first class degree. First year accommodation is very close to the campus meaning only a short walk is required! most amazing city to live in for three years!
Thankyou for this great review. well done on your 1st degree. We agree, being able to offer the 1st year students accommodation on campus makes life a lot easier for the 1st year student, with getting to lectures and seminars and for settling in.
University full of green space. Very modern buildings and upto date. Amazing support from staff.
I had an amazing time at MMU, the psychology faculty are phenomenal and the pole society was so well run and great fun! I recommend MMU to anyone looking to go to university in the North of England!
It is great that you had such a positive experience at MMU. the Pole society sounds like good fun. We have a wide range of societies avalable for every one to join.
They have the best staff ever! I had an issue with my enrolment so i went to talk with the student hub and they solved the issue with the biggest smile ever!!
Thanks for the review. Thats great, The Student Hub is a great place to start with any issues.
Good modern buildings and good WiFi connection in most. Campus is very close to city centre and most accomodation.
Had the best 3 years at this University!
Excellent, thank you for your review.
Help is always close whenever you need it. Theres a society for almost anythung. Easily accessible buildings
Thankyou so much for your review. We build upon our societies year on year, we have a wide range for everyone.
Amazing experience at this uni, lectures really informing and lecturers give loads of support
The staff are so bad they don't give a crap about the students and I faced bullying from a senior members at the Cheshire campus last year so I was scared to even go to uni
So sorry to hear you have had a bad experience. We do not like to hear of students being unhappy during their time here and we do not as a University tolerate bullying. If you wish to provide any further feedback you can email us direc at manmetuni@mmu.ac.uk and we will pass this on to the relevant faculty.
Incredibly supportive! Always go the extra mile to ensure you do well and enjoy it while you do. I've loved every minute and don't want it to end.
Thankyou for your great review.:)
Amazing lectures and small places to revise in. The staff are friendly and the opportunities are endless.
Very unique way of teaching. Focusing on a single subject at one go. Highly recommend it.
Great uni specially school of art
Thanks for your review, we are very proud to be the home of The Manchester School of Art.
A good uni, with support and good internet
Being an Indian we are used to a lot of career support but while coming to UK I was well aware that it wasn't the case here and I'm glad I chose MMU as they were really helpful .
This uni is amazing. Especially the support the lecturers give to you inside and outside the lectures. The facilities are great and you have all resources by hand if needed.
All the services provided are delivered at the highest standard by the most open and friendly personel on Campus. Buildings are close enough to walk between, whilst getting enough social time and fresh air. Every tutor i've met has been friendly, enthusiastic and insightful, and if they can't help you then they will point you in the right direction. Work is shared on the personal web, sorted by module and week to help organise workload and revision. Looking back on my education, it's clear that we all had different goals and ideals, whereas when studying in MMU, I stood in a room with 500 other people all enthusiastic about the same thing. There are plug sockets available in corridors and halls, wifi wherever you go, even outside in some places, so many oppertunities regarding societies and the union, and all the facilities are top-notch or being improved. Eg, all the buildings have been refurbished, except JD, yet all the facilities in JD match or outshine those in other buildings.
Everything is really good, only improvement could be a club in the union in my opinion
MMU is a good uni for business degrees
Just walking round the City Campus and I feel safe. I think the people that are there are what makes this university. The tutors are lovely, couldn’t have asked for a better first year.
Really good uni with a lot of support and facilities are new
Lovely clean and modern uni, with a lot of help
Great university that I would totally recommend!!
It has been great! Amazing student experience. Everything at your disposal if you need it!!
Just finished my degree here and had such a pleasurable experience the uni do everything possible to make sure try get the most of it
Great friendly happy staff, who are happy to talk and help. Great clean campus. Good food in the food courts. Easy to understand layout. Great computers and second to none ICT services.
My first year has been great, so much help from the university and the union throughout the whole year. The resources and facilities that students have access to helps with everything like assignments as well as the student lifestyle
Pretty decent uni. The lecturers were cool.
After studying business here I would reccomend MMU to anyone.
If your looking for a uni that will support you and guide you ready for work, look at another uni I can't fault the facilities or the campus it's clean offerers so much support in that respect but the tutors who actually guide the courses is another thing sadly they don't understand fully what there teacher or are now outdated and don't have the experience necessary to break in to the job world.
Amazing experience in both academic and extra curricular
It is a professional setting and the setting helps to revise and learn since you feel at ease
The campus is pretty good in general. But there’s the issue that the nursing cohorts don’t fit into the Brooks building (for which it was designed), so we use Geoffrey Manton a lot instead. I’ve heard that the clubs and societies are really good, however if you’re a nursing student you rarely have the time to be part of these due to the timings. Student union is really good, cannot fault them. Careers service always contact me, however I’m never used them, they have a good outreach. The internet is quite good in all the buildings.
Had an amazing experience. There was opportunity to get involved in so many different paths and also I had the opportunity to change my course which helped me out. I found what I love to study and also tool the opportunity to change my degree from a BA to a BSC by studying a statistics unit which involves placement- this made me more confident and employable. Staff are friendly and helpful too, they genuinely care about your grades.
Really helpful staff who actually care about students. Lots of opportunities to get involved with extracurricular activities relevant to course. The student jobs range is also great.
Needs to be more activities in society's as I joined one in first year and never heard anything from it now I'm in third year. Other than that, amazing experience
After going to a different uni and moving to man met i can say it’s the best thing i’ve done in my 21 years
When I first went to MMU there was a huge stigma that it wasn’t great because it wasn’t a Russell Group University but I couldn’t be more pleased I went there! I had the best experience at MMU! I ended up graduating with a First class degree with plenty of experience, industry connections, friends made from societies, transferable skills from societies and working at the Union, and so much more! I wouldn’t consider anywhere else to do a Masters course which I would like to do at MMU in a few years! I couldn’t recommend it more! If I could choose any university in the UK to do my degree again at, I would choose MMU all over again!
The teaching and marking is corrupt. The university gives little guidance on careers for students
Absolutely loved this place! Miss it so much! Staff are fantastic, and the atmosphere is amazing!
Having finished my third year this University is incredible. The societies are welcoming and the staff at the Union end up being good people to talk to about pretty much anything. Those who have taught me across my Film and media studies Degree are people who I’m glad to have met and keep in contact with now I’m post my University Degree
Generally a very good uni. Economics department is horrific though.
MMU is inclusive, diverse and students friendly. Accessible for students with disabilities.
Great University with amazing facilities.
Good university with good technology, facilities and always there to help
The clubs and societies are really good and there is lots of them.
Brilliant uni and in a good location
The uni is great, the staff I happenned to meet not so much. I had trouble with people from the staff for being international and I felt really offended
Thank you for your review, and sorry to hear that you have had some trouble with staff. If you are still a student with us, have you been in touch with your Student Support Officer? They are able to provide advice and guidance on any aspect on university life and can advise you further on university regulations if you do want to raise any of your issues further.

Brilliant, diverse university where student welfare and development is the number one priority. The uni is also continuously investing in the development of new cutting edge facilities
Thank you for such a lovely review!
A good university with brilliant resources and staff!
Glad to hear that you are enjoying your university experience! Hope you continue to do so for the rest of your studies.
Amazing tutors and good facilities although the library is very small during the exam period
Thank you for your review! The Library are really interested in student feedback, so you may want to fill in their feedback form on their website.
Art school facilities really good
Thank you for your review. We are really proud of our Art School facilities, so we are glad you have enjoyed them!
Good, helpful staff, interesting lectures and a range of societies to choose from. A relaxed lecture and exam/coursework schedule. Good vacation times and attendance policy.
Thank you for your lovely review :-) We hope you continue to enjoy your studies with us.
Amazing support team and great lecturers. Union is ran by rather undry towels though
Supportive staff, great society choices and availability, accommodation is somewhat over priced but still good quality. Very close to the center of Manchester with tonnes to do!
All round great experience! I loved my time here. The staff really want what is best for you. The Student Union is home to a bar and restaurant, a shop where you can buy groceries and stationary, even a Starbucks! All perks aside, I've learnt a lot here and thoroughly enjoyed it!
Bloody love everything about it
Good science courses with focus on employment
Thank you for your review :-) It's great to hear that you course is focusing on employment. Our careers and employability team with hard with faculties to support students with their careers.
Good facilities. Some buildings are outdated, but are being replaced with new builds. Lectures are great at times, as are seminars. Good access to resources through the library, but again library is getting outdated with desks etc. Teaching hours are limited for some courses, more contact time with tutors would be ideal.
Thank you for the review! We are working heard to improve our facilities, and replacing old buildings with new ones. Hopefully you will enjoy our new Arts & Humanties building when it opens. If you haven't done so already, you might want to fill in our student survey with your feedback. The more feedback we get the better!
great campus and facilities, great union and oppurtunities through it, could be better societies and just generally more clubs etc
Thanks for your review. We're happy to hear that you like our campus and facilities. A list of all societies can be found here: https://www.theunionmmu.org/groups?group_type=society-1590&group_cat=&search= keep checking back for any new societies or clubs.
Good facilities, Brad new buildings which are modern. Good app and online services including library,moodle and WiFi throughout the campus. Feel safe at Uni, lots of staff and student hubs to help answer questions etc.
Thanks for your review. It sounds like you are really enjoying your time studying here. Keep an eye out for our new Arts & Humanities building which is due to open in 2020!
University was good, but the career advisor was wrong about my degree and now MMU won’t let me on to a postgraduate course. Don’t waste your time.
We're glad you enjoyed your time here but sorry that you are having difficulties with progressing on to a postgraduate course. Please can you email us at manmetuni@mmu.ac.uk with some more details about the course that you applied to study here and your previous study so that we we can look into this and see if we can suggest any alternatives if applicable.
Loads of fun and excellent facilities
I'm glad you're having fun at MMU! Great to hear feedback on our facilities. Keep an eye out for our new Arts & Humanities building which is due to open in 2020!
Great university, wasn’t my first choice but I’m very glad I’ve chosen it as my final! Amazing facilities and great staff
It's so nice to hear that you are enjoying your studies with us, and we are happy that you chose us as your final choice! We are very proud of our faclities, and we think we have great staff too!
A very nice and beautiful place to study.
Thank you for your lovely review :-) We hope you continue to enjoy your studies with us.
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
Hi, thank you for submitting your review. We are really sorry to hear that you have been unhappy with your experience so far. Have you been in touch with your Student Support Officer? 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. If you would like to get back to us with any further feedback then please do not hesitate to do so by emailing us at manmetuni@mmu.ac.uk.
Perfect university in a great location
Hi, i'm glad you have enjoyed studying at Manchester Met! We also think our location is great! You can easily walk into the centre and explore Manchester.
The campus is clean are there are facilities available for everyone. It is a friendly environment that is fun and also provides encouragement for a hard work ethic.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying your university experience! Hope you continue to do so for the rest of your studies.
Overall lovely campus and university atmosphere however found that the sports societies were not very inclusive.
Thank you for your review. Sorry to hear that you haven't found our societies inclusive. If you wish to leave some feedback with the Student Union, then you can do so by filling in a form on their website and they will be able to look into this for you.
Really good uni, has mint facilities and super close to the city centre
Thank you for your review! We love how close we are to the city centre. It means that our students can explore all that Manchester has to offer, without having to travel too far!
Good university and nice looking campus
Thank you for your lovely review! Great to hear feedback on our campus. Keep an eye out for our new Arts & Humanities building which is due to open in 2020!
Very decent facilities, rooms are big and close together so you don’t have to walk far lesson to lesson.

Great university, good atmosphere and good teaching and support
Thank you for your lovely review :-) We hope you continue to enjoy the rest of your studies with us!
Love this university and all that it has to offer
I'm glad you are loving Manchester Met! It's great to hear such positive feedback.
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

Absolutely amazing. Every issue is dealt with immediately and taken seriously. The staff are all so nice and helpful. The whole place has a great feel to it and it is a good working environment
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.
Glad to hear you are having an amazing time studying with us so far! We hope you enjoy the rest of your studies with.
I love it here, Ive settled in really well
Thank you for your lovely review! We hope you continue to enjoy your studies with us.
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)

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.
