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!

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 Some buildings are outdated, but are being replaced with new builds.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 Good access to resources through the library, but again library is getting outdated with desks etc.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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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)
