Good reputation but some lectureres dont really care or they do not know how to teach
The university offers a wide range of extracurricular activities and has a lively student union. Everyone here is welcoming and amiable.
There are countless helpful facilities scattered throughout the campus, with a great student union, that have helped especially through the cost of living crisis.
I am proud to be a part of University of Manchester. I am studying MSc Marketing and it has been a wonderful experience so far. The best services provided are by Students Union and Career Service.
The politics department provides nothing outside of readings. No networking opportunities, interesting events with high-level speakers, internship options or exchanges. Not even a dedicated study space for politics undergrads. The degrees can be done online and that's what most people did. There's absolutely nothing that can justify the price, especially when compared to other European universities.
Great teaching staff but admin and IT can be very disorganised and tech and wifi accounts are fiddly to set up. Love the broad range of societies. On campus study space is limited, it can be near impossible to book group spaces near exam periods.
Hard work but rewarding, teaching could be better
Great academic experience however the strikes have ruined it.
I think it’s a space that provides a lot of variety in terms of people
Great place for learning and studying. welcoming union with many opportunities for societies and events to go to with friends that keep you busy and not feeling so alone
Good learnong materials, decent atmosphere
The university has a quite a huge students union which organizes regular events. I’m definitely happy with the social expeirence
The engineering building is only open until 6 pm which is inconvenient for PGT students.
The Uni is good with quality education, resources such as library, study spaces and career services make your life much easier.
Enjoyed my University life. Good facilities and support offered
University of manchester was one of my dream universities and it was an absolute dream come true to study my Master's here.
It's a very reputed university and the infrastructure is quite good. I met some amazing friends in the University. However, a lot of internal processes are mismanaged at times and they could do better considering its a top class university
Really good facilities and so close together to the center of town, easy to find friends
Nice campus, friendly staff, everything around the campus is close together as well and make things very convenient
Definitely one of the best universities in the UK. I was amazed by what the university has to offer. It brings out the best in me
Wouldn't have picked any other university! Great people and staff and excellent opportunities for your career and future studies!
Good uni however, its not very good for the social aspects of university life.
really good uni and lovely staff. i love the city too
During covid the support was minimal from university
Situated in a great city with good bus and cycle routes. Offers lots of different degree courses but be prepared for a research intensive degree!
I’ve not completely explored my campus but from what I have seen, the campus is clean and truly scenic. I’m not a part of any clubs/ societies by choice but I do know there is absolutely something for everyone. The social life is really good on the campus with many spots to eat and drink, but to also simply chill with friends. For Christian students, there are a few churches located close to campus, and there are also a handful of Christian societies to promote fellowship. If you love a concert, there is high chance of a performance going on in the campus academy in the week. Bus links via the university are also great with buses coming as regular as every 5-15 minutes. If you care about all things environmental, this university is great. Not only do they encourage cycling or scootering to work, in the curriculum as part of the university’s STELLIFY award, there is an opportunity to learn about sustainable living independent of the course one is studying. I love my university!!
International tuition is a joke. No way any degree from this school is worth 70 thousand pounds. Other than that decent staff and buildings.
Good facilities and great range of activities. Weekly career events and great student service team.
Campus is pretty big and has many places to study and get food. But in exam season it gets very crowded in libraries and they may need to make more study space. Wish the tennis club had an indoor tennis court as it rains a lot. The student Union are pretty amazing with many societies to join and the associate members do their best to improve our student life. The wifi is most of the time working but sometimes it does down.
Overall great experience learning there but nothing too special.
Lots of facilities and always getting emails about voting for people and filling out questionnaires for how the university can be better and in for a chance of winning prizes ones that we would like for example free parklife tickets, iPads etc
Wifi ok but during the last 2/3 weeks of semester 2 (so exam season) the wifi quality dropped severely in halls. Was completely unusable.
It's an overall fine University. I can't say much because I unfortunately don't get involved too much with my Uni's activities like I should, but it seems fine.
Great university! Lovely professors and good student environment.
The Law building needs improvement, Also The mental health service needs a reform.
Really enjoyed my law degree, includes a variety of very interesting topics and is qualifying.
Great university experience, very diverse and friendly
Good university and resources but staff are extremely entitled and unhelpful. Admissions process was horrendous. Lecturers were lovely however admin staff were the most unhelpful people. They didn’t think i would pass selection, so I had to contact the union to help me. Very elitist despite me having above the correct grades.
cant complain about anything as rarely went onto campus due to materials being accessible online
Good experience overall, nice historical buildings
Good study spaces such as AGLC which is 24hrs. Lots of events. Teaching can always be better.
Really the efforts paid off to get an opportunity to be at UoM. OMG! There are so many things to explore, experience and do; my 1 year of MSc seems too short for that! Love to being at UoM :)
University of Manchester has been a great 1st year experience. In terms of the facilities it’s extensive and I find it ready to navigate my way through campus.
Loved my learning experience here. The location of my lecture halls are wonderful and there is always something to eat or somewhere to study nearby.
The University atmosphere is very nice
Love attending. Lectures are great with good access to blackboard and additional resources
Corrupt higher ups to view their students as cash cows and a student union largely incapable of holding them to account. Massive rent strikes and building occupations this year are the only option we're left with.
I studied economics in University of Manchester, The teachers are really nice. you can really learn something from your academic experiences.But the University is really high pressure in it to keep yourself in an efficient way.
Very delighted to be a part of this university.
The University of Manchester has a great social vibe and societies to suit everyone's hobbies. Lecturers are friendly and really quick at responding to emails. They also have a really good careers service to give you plenty of ideas about jobs, and the writing fallows to help read over any essays you have written and offer advice.
Great university very central and social
I think it is really good, I would definetely recommend people coming here
Very good uni to meet new people and enjoy my course
This is generally a great university.
Manchester University is an exceptional institution that offers a world-class learning experience. The professors are knowledgeable and passionate, and the curriculum is challenging yet rewarding. Additionally, the campus is vibrant and diverse, providing a welcoming environment for students from all backgrounds. The social scene is also fantastic, with numerous clubs and societies to join, ensuring that students have a well-rounded university experience. Manchester's location is ideal, with easy access to the city's cultural and entertainment offerings. Overall, studying at Manchester University is an incredible opportunity that will provide students with a valuable education and unforgettable memories.
Healthcare course. Well supported, provided with excellent learning tools, easy to contact lectures, good society’s, su is dull for such a large university and should have more organised social events.
It’s a good university but more things need to be put in place for POC. We had a study abroad programme for my course and they didn’t put any measures in place for that and almost sent me to a country which could have been potentially dangerous for a woman of colour.
Poor uni with little support for students
That’s so cool and teachers are nice
Good,good,good,good,good,good, good
The best, would study here again if I could!
I am on a postgraduate course, MEd psychology of education. The course is very boring, it covers what the lectures and course directors are interested in, with little room to explore anything else. There has been disruption from tutors leaving and changes of faces with no explanation. The course director is very set in her ways and does not allow for any opinions that differ hers,. In terms of linking theory to practice, she only refers time spent in a small rural school which is clearly not reflective of the current issues and demands in education. It is feels quite dismissive of all the hard work I have done in a primary school in a deprived inner city location. Overall I find her attitude out of touch with current educational practice and more focused in research. The assessments are very prescriptive and focuses on one topic, despite spending weeks learning about various aspects of child development for example, the assessment focuses solely on attachment theory. Wouldnot recommend
I like it here, and I like the module selection in my course
A great institute with excellent resources and professors for my degree
Provides you with many opportunities to seek out for yourself. Some buildings are old but facilities are generally fine.
Its a good experience, fun time with batch mates, but no individual attention at all
No comments on the university at this time
very prestigious university, offers great support
The university is in an ideal location
Its ok, student support can be better.
All thing is good and the people are so nice
I get to learn new things about the subject I wanna pursue my career in
Overall, it is a good University
Parkway Gate has a very good location, and it is within walking distance of universities, as well as city Centre. Most importantly, the receptionists Carol and Tamas were very helpful in helping with my issues. Will recommend this accommodation to every students I have met.
The environment is pretty good. The facilities are excellent and we can do our personal tasks through any computers in campus or remotely control them through our own computers. And there are also many activities and career support.
University is great! I enjoy my time there
Good and working with students, staff are not rly aware of what we are doing but still working on the uni stuffs
The customer service is brilliant, Zobia and Lexi are always friendly and kind. They always speak to me when I come to collect my parcel :)
Good place to study . Love the time spent
Very good uni from an academic perspective. The careers service is very useful and lecturers actually care. The new buildings are stunning, the old ones not so much. University halls here have to be some of the worst i have seen. Social life can vary depending on where you choose to live
Great university with multicultural exposure.
The University of Manchester is a great university with a great environment, a team of professors, a student support center. I am very happy every day in school. I love this university very much and enjoy every day here
Dave, zobia and lexi are amazing person！
Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood
Zobia, Lexi and Dave are so lovely and welcoming! Thank you so much for looking after us :)
Unfortunately whilst you are a student at the University of Manchester you are seen more as a number rather than a person. There is not enough support or care for students whilst at university and out of it.
Good reputation, good campus but can be improved for student services
It offers world class education from extremely knowledgeable professionals. Diverse and multicultural that provides exposure to me as an international student. Safe and secure environment for all students is provided.
It is a fulfilling experience to study at the University of Manchester.
Has everything we need. Good facilities.
The university is very good, however the programs are too research based.
Very good university. Provide a lot of different options in their courses across all their departments.
Good social life and societies.
Good social life and academics.
Great university, good location, and very nice career service, helped a lot!
Just an overall disappointing university outside of the lectures, the university cares so little about student wellbeing
expensive fees for international students, limited services if you dont ask for it.
Amazing university when it comes to teaching and academics! Lovely staff and such dedicated professors.
The University of Manchester is a great mix between city and student life.
good teaching resources and good student service.
