Thanks for getting in touch.

Hi there,
Thank you for your query and interest in Manchester Metropoltan University.
With regards to career prospects and opportunities, many of our graduates begin their careers in new product development. You could work in a variety of roles across the food and nutrition industry though, in areas such as quality and food safety, food manufacturing, food marketing and technical management. Some of the roles you could pursue include food production manager, food technologist, consumer care manager, technical manager, food buyer, and legal compliance officer.
With regards to the practical and theoretical saspects of the course, there is a balance. You’ll have days with a mix of lectures, seminars and practical sessions (such as product development in our food technology laboratories), so that you develop technical skills as well as academic knowledge of food science and in other seminar sessions/workshops, you’ll learn how to promote food safety through quality management systems, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP). This is so that you understand how to meet the legal responsibilities of food business operations in producing safe products, as well as the quality requirements of your customers. I can confirm that there will however be no practical assessment with 95% being assessed via coursework and 5% being assessed by examination.
You are more than welcome to contact the programme leader, Andrew Hollingsworth at a.hollingsworth@mmu.ac.uk should you have furhter questions related to the programme.

Amazing couldn’t ask for anything better
it’s nice they provided good services
As an international student, my experience on campus has been very positive. The facilities are modern and well-kept, however the study spaces is manageable, same goes for the computer labs, and social areas that make it easy to balance work and relaxation. As for the clubs and societies although they are diverse and welcoming, but hope more attention could be put into international students even though they mentioned offering great opportunities to meet new people and get involved. Moreover, Students’ Union is active and supportive. The careers service has also been valuable, providing guidance, workshops, and CV support that make preparing for future opportunities much easier. Overall, it’s an acceptable environment for international students. Thank you.
Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Our Students' Union is completely independent from the university, and they can provide you with support if you are finding that international students could be more supported with clubd and societies. The Union also has an International Students Group, which you can find more about here: https://www.theunionmmu.org/get-involved/international-student-group. I hope this helps!
great university that offers many opportunities and facilities for students. The student union has been refurbished with loads of study spaces, a cafe and bars.
I’m having a brilliant time at mmu. I am studying my masters and compared to my undergrad at UoM everyone is happier and the facilities are much better
The campus is a modern and easily navigable layout, complemented by a food hub that offers a decent variety of options. While prices could be more student-friendly, the convenience is appreciated. The internet service is generally reliable, although occasional connectivity issues can arise, particularly on higher floors of the library. The availability of functional plug sockets in lecture halls could be improved to better support students throughout long days of classes. The careers service stands out for its comprehensive offerings and consistent communication. While the new library is a popular spot, it can be difficult to find a quiet place to study because it is often loud and busy, which is a pain, especially for commuting students. The Students' Union keeps students informed through email updates.
The university has been very welcoming since i have started. There has been many events to show every aspect and community within in not just the university and city. There has also been a substantial about of information around careers and placements alongside help from my tutor. For example the future me plan. The only issue that has occurred is the dalton building lecture theatres do not accommodate left handed individuals. So far i have enjoyed my time at Manchester and i am looking forward to the years to come!
Clubs and society’s have loads of options but non of them are interesting to all lots very similar. Dalton lecture theatre not suitable for left handed students other than that facility’s are amazing. Wi-Fi is slow to connect but great once connected. Student union is great!
I love studying at MMU,but one thing i hate about it, is the edurome WIFI. I deeply hate it from the bottom of my heart, Other than that MMU has such a diverse community and it’s located in the heart of manchester.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We would always recommend reporting any Wi-Fi service issues to our IT team so that they can investigate any individual cases, as they may not be aware there is an issue. You can contact the team on 0161 247 4646 or through their live chat here https://manmetchat.mmu.ac.uk/. I hope this helps and you see some improvement.
I really like my economics course ; all of the modules are organised really well and the moodle page is very useful with providing information about deadlines on assignments etc.
I had a great experience in MMU and I made lots of good connections with other people

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your time here.
I have had best experience of my life being at this university, I’m sooo grateful that they accepted me. I have made the best friends and learned the most valuable skills & knowledge that I have been able to take into my life and be successful. I’m going to be sad to leave!! Might have to continue lol. Also the tutors, lecturers and all staff are AMAZING.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. We are happy to hear you are enjoying your time here.
Campus facilities are great especially the library. I feel like students could benefit from more information about the available facilities like laptop hires and the different rooms you can book at the library. Societies aren’t the best advertised. I love the library.
Man Met has provided a great environment for learning and social opportunity. I’ve particularly enjoyed my time in MUFSS the I’m associated ski society. Other highlights would be the support of my personal tutors and lecturers.
University seems pretty good from the stats but honestly As a finance Student Career opportunities are so much low and market is saturated.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. The Careers hub is avaliable to all students and may be able to provide you with potential work experience, CV guidance and other employability tips. You can find out more by visiting: https://www.mmu.ac.uk/careers. Furthermore, the Jobs Hub in the Geoffrey Manton building offers additional guidance, and advertises a number of job roles. I hope this helps and you are able to make full use of the service.
The uni very good the library website I feel could be a little easier to navigate and I am not always aware of what is on offer so perhaps sharing what is available more regularly would be helpful. The societies are great I am part of one and I really enjoy it! Perhaps there could be more funding to allow for more sports teams meaning more students can be involved.
Good university with good facilities. I like the facilities within John Dalton the best however the seats need cleaning in the booths (student negligence, not so much the university). Good help and support during semester times. You can tell the university deeply cares about our integration into our post grad careers. I don’t regret declining the University of Salford for here at all! :)
Love the campus. Nice business school. Love the staff and environment
I’d say overall my experience is good enough I would say holding more events around university would be good
Good support. I like the campus and there’s decent facilities however there could be a lot more study spaces.
Having a good time, learning a lot and teachers are teaching very well.
As a 3rd year undergraduate, I’ve found the facilities fantastic and lecturers and seminars are professional and informative, I’ve learnt a lot about myself through attending and overall its been a fantastic experience!
So I do accounting and finance, so far it’s pretty good, I have all the information needed for my course and the lector and teachers are very kinds and useful, they send automatic replies.
I love the university from facilities to environment
Very modernized and well organized classrooms,
Really great friendly people and staff
Really good facilities and great staff and food
I am a second year student at MMU and I have found the staff and facilities to be quite great. I have enjoyed several society events I have attended such as the Debating Society, and there also many social spaces to study and talk with friends. I would recommend this to any prospective student
Overall, good. Wi-Fi is only good in certain areas of the business building.
It’s been amazing I love the campus and everyone is quite friendly just love the overall vibe!
It's a great University. The facilities are modern and it's makes learning a wonderful experience.
Not been here long but enjoying it so far.
When I first started university, I wasn’t entirely sure if it was the right path for me, but the welcoming environment and supportive people around me quickly made me feel part of the community. From my first year onward, the experience has been truly rewarding, it has helped me grow in confidence and build valuable networking connections within the industry I aspire to work in. The lecturers have consistently provided the guidance and support I needed, making my journey not only successful but also memorable.
The uni is amazing and nice Amazing teachers and facilities The environment is very clean and safe
I really think my university is a great place to study and learn with exceptional areas for focused learning and the teachers are great and really helpful. The facilities are really easy to understand and I know where I can go if I have any issues.
Amazing university really happy with everything
Amazing time throughout the campus as well as the lectures
lovely teachers very helpful but parking issues
I enjoy going to this uni as it is very inclusive and a positive place to be
This uni has amazing resources for all students, the staff are amazing and help out with anything.
I’m an international student and I take admission because it’s one of the best business school in the world, my only priority as it was the triple crown and provide best facilities to students.
Really enjoy university, best decision I made to come.
Really welcoming uni, have been very supportive with me during some mental health struggles. Would reccomend.to anyone thinking of coming
Everything is great here I'm glad to part of the university
It is superb, every thing is well organised and planned. In case of any ambiguity the students hub is providing excellent services.
I like my uni experience so far. I have no negative comments.
Here’s a short, simple paragraph just over 100 words: My experience at university has been mostly positive. The campus itself is great, with lots of spaces to study, relax and meet new people, but it was definitely confusing to navigate at first. The clubs and societies are a great part, because they make it easy to socialise and find people with similar interests. The Students’ Union has also been really helpful whenever I’ve needed support or information. The only thing that could really improve is the Wi-Fi, which can be slow and just not work at times. Overall, it’s a good environment with a few things to work on.
Great, has a amazing time so far
One of the best experience i ever had
My MMU was my always first priority when it comes to a great business school in UK. And my university always comes beyond my expectations. I learned alot and my university always supported me in best terms. I would definitely recommend this to my other friends and family.
Amazing really blessed to have this opportunity.
I’ve really enjoyed my time here as there’s great society where i’ve been able to make friends which made me feel comfortable as it was scary moving at first. they have great education system.
I was worried to start uni and wasn’t going to come but ever since i started i have been so happy and it definitely the best decision for me. My course is great and interesting and i feel i have been given lots of opportunities and support already within my first 10 weeks of starting. My teachers are nice and encourage me to speak up in class and the societies are my favourite part. I successfully made it to the dance uni team and it’s so great to make friends and build independence.
I have enjoyed my uni experience so far, the facilities are really good and there is lots of support if i need it
As an international student I am very thankful to the university for such a great architecture and great ambiance. I feel very happy and glad when I come to the university.
So far, university experience is excellent including lectures, facilities and student support.
Internet could be easier to connect to and prices are sometimes a bit crazy but also lots of addordable options and good free events and things
Had an amazing experience and time at the university.
The university provides an excellent learning environment with supportive and knowledgeable teachers who always encourage students to improve. The campus Wi-Fi is fast and reliable, making it easy to complete assignments and access online resources. Student help services are quick, friendly, and genuinely focused on solving problems. Additionally, the wide range of active clubs creates a vibrant atmosphere, giving students opportunities to explore their interests, meet new people, and grow beyond academics.
Wonderful. Affordable food. Very lucky to go here.
Good university. Lovely clean campus. Helpful lecturers
MMU has a really good academic history with good campus management and so many societies to join. I am really enjoying my time here studying law as there are so many accessible resources via the MMU library and also eco friendly resources around the business building.
So far I have met some cool and chill people I have also just met Seth and he seems like a really a brainy person with good hair
I studying health and social care and it’s the best uni ever I love it and thanks to mmu I studying health and social care and it’s the best uni ever I love it and thanks to mmu
As someone who lives in Manchester it’s great to go to university in a place I am familiar with. I love that the campus is in the city compared to where I did my undergrad which felt far away from town
Just joined as master’s and i find it really not very helpful or interactive as barriers for interaction are lagged. But so far facilities and space is awesome
Overall the university is so far so good I think they can really work on their placement programs
Having a good experience at the university
Modern facilities Big uni Good academic history
I love my university I love the friend I’ve made. My course is enjoyable and I have very nice and understandable lecturers.
Overall great experience, i would recommend to any international studemt
Had served al great seminars with Graham
My experience studying at MMU has been very good. As a creative writing student my course is one of the best in the UK, my professors are incredibly helpful and inspiring and always listen to feedback for modules. There’s also lots of placement opportunities which tailors my cv to what I want to go in to later on. There’s also services to facilitate all my needs such as counseling, free gym classes and societies to join.
I have felt very supported throughout my time at MMU via the careers hub, tutors, lecturers, and support staff. Also extracurricular programs are very helpful and good for CVs
It’s been a pleasant experience so far; the university offers a wide range of support for students and places our futures high on their priority list.
The new dalton building is the best place to study as there’s lots of places to sit. It’s a nice atmosphere.
I love the experience of the university and the facilities, there are some amazing lecturers and knowledge that we gain from them. Could be better at providing opportunities and internships
Really good facilities, I really enjoy the course and have made the best friends. Some of the lectures are super helpful too.
Great experience with helpful staff and teachers. I’ve had supporter through uni with personal and academic issues.
the uni has a lot of great facilities and support available. the wifi could do with some improvement as it’s slow to connect sometimes.
The overall experience has been very welcoming and exciting. The course covers diverse sectors in the industry and encourages you to think critically and evaluate
Great experience, especially the teaching and support.
When I first started university, I wasn’t entirely sure if it was the right path for me, but the welcoming environment and supportive people around me quickly made me feel part of the community. From my first year onward, the experience has been truly rewarding, it has helped me grow in confidence and build valuable networking connections within the industry I aspire to work in. The lecturers have consistently provided the guidance and support I needed, making my journey not only successful but also memorable.
Attending MMU is the best experience I’ve had in my life the facilities and courses are amazing the friendly environment makes me feel like I am a part of the MMU union. Everything about the university is great and fantastic.
Uni has been going great as lecturers always are willing to help and they make sure that everyone is doing good. However I feel that some modules need to explain the assignments a bit more as it could be confusing especially that uni is completely a different entity than college which could make the modules a bit harder to understand which makes uni a bit stressful
Internet WiFi is not good. Don't like the authentication requests we have to do every five minutes does not get any easier and makes me lose focus.
My course is interesting and there are quite a few facilities in place to help me with my academic and professional career.
Amazing uni with amazing facilities, good WiFi for lectures apart from in Geoffrey Manton. Amazing seating areas and food options in between uni lectures and really good support system.
Amazing experience around campus so far. My course is great and all the staff have been so friendly and helpful. There are so many extra curricular activities that link to my course to benefit me further.
As a degree apprentice im only here once a week, i wish clubs were more accessible
Lecturers are very helpful and courses are very useful. I feel like student receive a lot of support from this university and gives student lots of the things to do in their free time
My experience with the Student Union has been incredibly positive. The team is friendly, supportive, and always goes the extra mile to make students feel heard and included. From organising engaging events to providing help whenever we need it, they truly create a welcoming environment for everyone. I really appreciate how approachable the staff are — whether it’s academic concerns, wellbeing, or day-to-day student life, they’re always ready to support with a smile. The events and activities they run have helped me connect with new people and feel more at home on campus.
There are great facilities at mmu, i personally have only used the business building but the food court there is extremely varied and caters for all different taste buds. The range of seating for studying is also ideal.
The diversity and campus facilities really stand out and are nice.
I have really been enjoying my course. The lecturers are all very nice and I feel like I could go up to them if I had a question or I needed help with anything or even if I needed someone to talk to! I have also really enjoyed the environment of uni. It is very similar to the college I went to and I instantly felt comfortable here
really enjoying my course with lots of support from lecturers and uni resources
It’s an enjoyable university there are many facilities and lots to do
I had a good experience with the uni so far
Perfect studying environment, good nightlife and university organised activities. Lovely socials to join during your first year to meet new people.
