Overall, I will say I have had a challenging experience as a student of MMU. This especially is true when it comes to the number of classes/ lecture that is required to attend on a weekly basis. It leaves little time for one to adjust to a new environment if you are an international student. You are faced with different pressures ( academic, financial, mental health etc) all at the same time.
Hello, thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. I'm sorry to hear it's been challenging for you. Have you visited our website to see upcoming International students' events? International Student Events | Manchester Metropolitan University (mmu.ac.uk). The University also offers services and opportunities to support students' wellbeing: Student Wellbeing | Manchester Metropolitan University (mmu.ac.uk). Hope this helps :)
On the fdt course they have great equipment and serviced and the technicians are very dedicated. The staff are very well trained but can sometimes slack in giving student the help we need. The students union is rubbish I wish it held more events like gigs or social nights only thing I have been to is a roller disco which was good but that’s it. The counciling service is abit rubbish as well they don’t connect with the student and won’t make time for you.
MMU is really a great university with everything including academics, campus facilities, high speed Internet, range of different cultural program & it located at heart of University.
Fantastic experience, good social interaction and first in class student session
So far my experience has been very enjoyable, what I’ve most enjoyed is how the societies are organised and social life to university
Good teaching, good sports set ups and location for accomodation, campus and sporting facilities.
The teacher, environment, teaching materials, and equipments are great and useful for students for studying.
Manchester metropolitan university is a good university with students from diversed background. The lecturers are understanding and caring. The facilities and location of the uni is great too.
As an exchange student I really like the vibe here. It's very chilling but learning at the same time. Facilities here is wonderful and I met a lot of good people here.
So pleased to hear you have enjoyed your time as an exchange student at Man Met. Glad you got to make some new friends whislt here. Hopefully we will see you back in Manchester again soon :)
Because my first year was during covid, I don’t know much about the uni facilities or societies and I feel like I missed out on a lot of knowledge of what the uni had to offer
Wi-Fi is unreliable but the student union is a great place to meet people and do work
Thanks for posting your review. Sorry to hear that you find the Uni Wi-Fi unreliable. Definitely worth contacting our IT Services team to raise your concerns: Contact the IT Helpline | Manchester Metropolitan University (mmu.ac.uk). Hope this helps :)

I don't overly get to use the uni services as I'm a masters student so don't get much time to do clubs and actives out of uni and work
Have really enjoyed my first year at Manchester Met strutting sport and exercise science. The uni has great facilities and has plenty of support in place.
Well done on completing your first year at Man Met. Great to hear you're enjoying our facilities and feel supported in your studies. Good luck for Year 2 :)
The campus is beautiful and lively. Provides good socialising opportunities for students. Even the staff are really helpful and friendly.
Thank you for posting your review. So wonderful to hear that love our campus and that you find our Man Met staff helpful and friendly.
As a student at Manchester Met, I found the university to be dynamic and exciting. The staff were knowledgeable and approachable, and the courses were well-structured and engaging. The facilities were top-notch, with modern lecture halls and well-equipped libraries. The city of Manchester also offered plenty of opportunities for cultural experiences and entertainment, making it a great place to be a student.
Thanks for taking the time to post such a lovely review! We love hearing that you enjoyed your time in Manchesterand at our University :)
In manchester metropolitan university, everybody is somebody. all courses are of standardized prowess and lectures take place in high level technological standard. The student union has the strongest perfect relationship between the school and the students. Every thing works in manchester metropolitan university. In MMU, what God cannot do, does not exist
The University is inclusive with many activities and support available. Friendly lecturer and polite staff and students
Manchester Metropolitan University is a great University to study at. It has a very pretty campus, lovely and helpful staff. The best thing about the University is it gives a lot of opportunities to grow in your personal lives as well as on professional fronts. It provides free sports sessions, mental health services, assignment support and guidance, finance management for students, accommodation help and basically every kind of help possible. Everyone is so helpful and generous. There are lot of events that takes place around the year, every festival is celebrated here of every culture. I got to know different cultures, different cuisines and different people. It is an amazing and uplifting experience.
Manchester Metropolitan University is a wonderful place to study in Manchester. They have lots of different courses and the tutors are really supportive. The university is also really diverse and welcoming to everyone. You can join in lots of fun activities outside of class too. It's a great place to go to university!
As a International student, I feel the university is very good in all the aspects.
It is a great place to spend your time
Manchester Metropolitan, being an international university represents diverse cultures having inclusivity yet providing the space for invidual identity. Here, at MMU Extracurricular activities are curated with learning and career focused for students. It has an opportunity of interdisciplinary learning where environment and sustainability has a specific part in each curriculum. Last but not the least, research focused study makes it stand out in all UK universities.
One of the best and affordable universities in manchester
Modern and functional uni. Good range of places to study and socialise within the uni.
The wifi was shotty but overall as an exchange person, the campus and staff were amazing and helpful
It is an amazing experience, all the staff are very friendly and helpful and I love everything around campus! to the food, the union, study rooms, staff and the buildings! my favourite is the brooks building though :)
Great university with loads of opportunities and a great up and coming city to live it
Don't let the thought go going to a metropolitan discourage you, just finishing the first year and this uni has been absolutely amazing, for so so many things. Genuinely have no complaints.
The environment, students and lecturers are all welcoming and friendly
such a proud to be in a place where its a great opportunity and amazing people round including our tutors, staff and everyone at MMU .
Student Union and the support offered by the school is excellent. There are also frequent events offered by the university to encourage sociability. If you don’t like your course it’s straightforward to change. Pastoral care is really good.
sustainable A university where promote sustainability and tutors and staffs are supportive towards students. Always feel encouraged to step out my comfort zone during my uni life.
Really good, although some societies aren’t too great to be honest. The book club hasn’t done anything and keeps cancelling. Big L
My experience at MMU is quite interesting as the university is quite different from what we have in India. There are a lot of resources available for students and it is very helpful for us, but we could be introduced to all those resources once to be able to know them. Many resources are unknown to students because they are mentioned anywher. The campus is very helpful and friendly. There are many events held for our interest and resourcing in many ways which is very helpful and amazing.
Great place to study , the new John dalton building will be great - will provide more study space , newer facilities- making the university better
My time at Man Met has been amazing, the staff are great, facilities have been above and beyond expectation. Birley accommodation was outstanding. Great uni
It’s a great uni located in an amazing location where it’s close to everything that you need.
Really love the surrounding of the university with diversified culture that it follows with friendly people and healthy learning environment it has the best infrastructure as compared to other universities in Manchester.
I love how many fun study spaces there are, I love where it is in the city and and how helpful all my lecturers and seminar leaders are too. I feel fully supported here
Fantastic uni with amazing facilities and brilliant staff 10/10 would mmu again.
I love MMU, it's a supportive environment. All our lecturers make we feel important and looked after so we can achieve our best in university but also when we leave.
My post graduate experience has been awesome. I am so glad I chose to go to MMU.
Mmu will support students in any way they can whether it be study issues, personal issues or finance.
All around campus there are a lot of computers. The library is separated into collaborative, quiet, and silent study zones which is useful because you can find a good place to study. There are cafes which offer a range of food and drink in most / all buildings and also in a few buildings there are canteens serving hot food. The business school canteen is great, it offers a range of food from around the world and is reasonably priced. There are lots of societies at MMU but some are more active than others. There are always lots of events happening around campus and it really feels like a community when you're at MMU.
The psychology department is honestly the best and most supportive department
I am on track to get a high grade in my degree, and I believe if you engage properly with everything the university provides you with, then you will do well academically. I just wish they put more effort into the other aspects of 'uni-life'. I don't really feel that I've made any lifelong friends. This may have been due to the first two years mostly being online due to Covid, but I do believe there is lots of room for improvement in terms of clubs/societies, social events etc. My uni building (Brooks) is separate to the other uni buildings in a different part of Manchester so it does make you feel a little isolated from student life, especially if you don't live in student accommodation. It is a lovely new building though and I've got a dream job lined up for when I finish my studies so I am happy about that.
It is a very good place to study, with tutors that genuinely care and are helpful.
A really Friendly environment and helpful staff. Extra support sessions and support tutors. Multicultural environment.
All true. Great WiFi across all campus, lots of places to work from. Good facilities compared to other universities.
This university is lovely along with my course
I have nearly finished my second year at this university and I can say I always have the motivation to come here because I enjoy it, the lecturers on my course are all lovely, helpful and knowledgeable. I’d recommend this university to anyone specifically Early Years and Childhood studies. The only thing I’d be mindful about is the affordability to live in Manchester and booking your accommodation sooner rather than later. I did struggle with loneliness whilst living away from home so do shout up if you are struggling.
Thanks so much for your review. Great to hear you're enjoying your Early Years and Childhood Studies course. We really appreciate you including useful tips for others too. Good luck for Year 3 :)
Friendly teachers and nice atmosphere
Great university with great teachers who are always happy to help,
Very good, inclusive and helpful
One of the best experiences of my life. I got to interact with people from all walks of life. One of the most diverse and most amazing university ever
Manchester metropolitan university is a good university to school at. The support given to international students is amazing. There’s also access to various facilities that makes schooling even easier for students.
Well about MMU it does have a stunning infrastructure in the heart of the Manchester city.
Manchester Metropolitan University is a well-regarded institution with a strong academic reputation and a supportive student community. As with any university, there may be some challenges, but many students have reported a positive and enriching experience at MMU.
I’ve had an amazing experience over the past two years. The staff are all extremely supportive and the facilities are all close and accessible.
Very good uni, looks great, very close to the accommodations, good shops around.
Great university and lots of support if needed. But student union is not good.

Fantastic university, especially in the business school the facilities are great, they have a lot of support for students and staff are really well respected members in there field, couldn’t recommend a university more
Good uni overall , facilities and support is good enough
brilliant experience, so good there’s even a chance to win £250 voucher. fr tho love the campus and vibe close to zaytonis which is class and 10/10 experience xx
My uni experience is good. It’s easy to find campuses and good lecturers.

Manchester Metropolitan university is a very good university that has amazing resources and staff that help you exceeds to the best version of your self and provide practical real skills to real life situations in work in the future and options one has with there degree which has me less terrified of the real world outside of university
A girl from India, who haven't had a exposure in her entire life as now got the essence of life and is curious about the future which Manmet as paved the path.
There's always something to do. Always activities to do provided by the university where you meet new people. There's always a place to study. There's a place to pray as well which is nice because it shows they respect different religions.
not too bad of an university. The tutors there are nice and helpful.
It is an excellent university, the staff and the students are a lovely bunch! I felt welcomed since day 1
Theres not many events happening and the leaders of some clubs aren't very involved, so the society becomes dead.
It is vibrant and a modern university with access to new technology. There is always someone around to help with any issues you may have. They have beautiful cafes and amazing places to study.
I made the best decision choosing Manchester Metropolitan University. Its business school is one of the best in the world, the lecturers and tutors are very supportive and you have access to facilities, materials and opportunities to further enhance your learning
Absolutely no support during the strikes or in general. My mental health has declined severely because of the amount of stress I have been under. The fact that they are charging £9,250 a year is an absolute joke considering they go on about wanting better pay, but what about the students paying their salaries? They don’t care about students they just care about lining their pockets. I wish I hadn’t gone to university when I did. Honestly I would not recommend this university due to the abhorrent lack of support and help especially during a cost of living crisis
We appreciate you taking the time to post your feedback and we are so sorry to hear that you feel unsupported as a student. We always aim to support our students and ensure that their experience with us is a positive one, both mentally and academically. We would urge you to access our Student Wellbeing service where we offer one to one mental health support and wellbeing workshops. You can find all the relevant information, including how to contact the Student Wellbeing team here: Student Wellbeing | Manchester Metropolitan University (mmu.ac.uk). We really hope you make use of this resource and we would also recommend having a look at our cost of living hub: Cost of living hub | Manchester Metropolitan University (mmu.ac.uk). Hope this helps.
I absolutely love MMU, it’s more welcoming than I imagined, I have met so many wonderful people, and all my lecturers so far have been brilliant. The amount of support for students is incredible
Lovely modern campus, plenty of facilities to access but there’s a lack of facilities for interactions with other students, or something to do through long study breaks etc. wifi doesn’t work in all parts of the building, student pods are rare to find as they are always so full. Even after being at the uni for 4 years I haven’t heard of a society to my interests, and annul fee doesn’t seem necessary
Man met is an amazing place if we are looking for a masters! I have enrolled my self in masters of biomedical sciences course and honestly I have never felt so accomplished ever in my studies the staff and professors are highly helpful and makes you feel home. You can undoubtedly ask them any question that you didn’t understand and can expect an answer with utmost patience and knowledge.
Incredible support from professors. I had a very supportive supervisor for my dissertation and I also got to publish my work.
Great infrastructure with latest technology makes student able to access the world sitting at one place. Libraries offer great variety of books and journal that ease student for working confidently
I love it here. Manchester metropolitan University has proven to be the most fun and happening place for me in Manchester. The University is always conducting something or the other activities both outdoor and indoor which is great to get involvement of as many people possible and be interactive, creative together. Keeping and helping us keep the work life balance with fun activities to do each week. Academics wise also its brilliant.
It is very fun and interstates social and work life
Overall the university and facilities are amazing. Love the campus life. So many things to do that the experience is beautiful.
MMU is overall a pretty good university. The campus is close to the city, the buildings provide good facilities and the wifi is usually okay. The union always has something going on which is nice and it’s right by the uni accommodation. The clubs and societies provided as well are quite broad, but it would be nice to see some more
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review!
environmentally-friendly buildings, excellent teaching facilities, and superb student support services, and MMU workS closely with partners, businesses, the community, and academic peers – locally, nationally, and internationally.
Its was a fun year filled with lots of event to keep the fun side of university experience alive and help for practically anything was at the ready. Really enjoyed my masters here.
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review!
Very enjoyable and also have lots of opportunities for you to get involved and make friends and so extra curricular activities
The campus and facilities are great and staff are really nice and welcoming generally. The only con in this university is the lack of diversity. International student and staff events occur but more voice and attention should be paid to it and should be broadcasting even more. In a predominantly white university, this is very crucial
Lecturers don’t often reply to their emails, and if they do it’s a long wait for a response
I'm sorry to hear this. If you're struggling to get a response from your lecturer, it may be worth speaking to our Student Hub to see if they can do anything to help. You'll find their contact details here: Home · Student Hub (mmu.ac.uk). Hope this helps :)
Manchester Metropolitan University has a great mental health and wellbeing team that help with a 5 week hellenistic therapy approach to resolving issues. It also provides access to streaming services such as Kanopy and national theatre live for students which means you can basically cancel Netflix and watch whatever you want! Ig is really student friendly and the staff welcome and encouraged your attitude towards learning. Staff aslo go out of their way to support students with 1 to 1 meetings and societys. I would highly recommend
Thank you for taking the time to write us such a detailed review! We are delighted to hear you have had such a positive experience with us and have accessed a range of our resources we have to support students. Carly :)
