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.
It’s a great university. And give me 170 pounds, thank you UoM.
the university of manchester provide the valuable chance to study my undergradate course and to get the higher level in the future. the environment is great and provide the necessary instructions for students
perfect university, Outstanding and state-of-the-art campus and facilities for study and leisure purposes.
Beautiful campus with great facilities and many study and social areas. Friendly people. In a fun city
We would like to thank Ms Chao Chan Sou, an employee of unite student. She did a great job, had a great attitude and was willing to help us.
The library and public study rooms have a good environment and provide convenient self-study space.
To study in this university makes me feel so happy. The lecturers in my class are all professional.
The inclusivity, the diversity is out of the world. The professors are all very articulate and amazing.
Everyone is always stressed, never seen so many people under so much pressure in each subject. Uni support is a joke and honestly the only thing to distract yourself with is going out.
This is a great uni if you are ok with doing a lot of work on your own. In my experience you are just expected to know how to write uni essays or do exams, but there is support if you look for it.
Its pretty good and fun, just very clear the services are over run.
I've only been here three months so far, so I can't say a ton, but so far I have really enjoyed my experience here. The study spaces are great and support is easily accessible, whether it's academic or personal. Only thing is Blackboard (the main software used for lecture prep) is quite difficult to get used to using (but from what I can tell, most unis use the same software so it just takes some getting used to, and I feel pretty comfortable using it now.
Absolute shambles of a university. I studied Japanese here for 2 years just for the uni to cancel my year abroad and give me as little support as possible. Then shrugging their shoulders and saying 'oh well' when I couldn't get into the advanced classes in final year. The atmosphere around the uni is anxiety inducing. The marking is so inconsistent and lectures are pretty much non-existent if you do anything other than Maths and Physics. The Student union too only seems to care about rich international students. £9250 a year for lies and a couple of PowerPoint slides. Whoopee!!
Low amount of contact hours for certain courses, but decent level of support overall
Most buildings are pretty nice and well maintained, but some of the newer buildings are really amazing. The engineering building in particular has great study areas that are a go-to for getting work done, even if I'm not scheduled to be there for a lecture; Big tables with charging ports and lights, and people are considerate so you won't often be bothered by noisy people. Don't engage with the student union much, but it seems like it has a load of stuff to offer. The SU building is also super nice, and host to lots of cool events. The internet in some of the bigger buildings is prone to being unreliable during peak hours, specifically in the engineering building. Otherwise, its very fast and has alright range on campus, usually working on the street right outside. If youre in uni accommodation (i.e. your dorm internet is eduroam for wifi and hornet for ethernet) its a different story though - its totally reliable and its also extremely fast on wired.
Good stuff, would recommend to anyone.
The university of manchester is a beautiful building. It has a lot of places to study and a good connection with the wifi.
Great university with a great social life and all the teaching staff are brilliant
I’ve received a lot of support from my department, however the university can be a little disorganised. Whether that is timetables being incorrect, not being given at all, receiving no email replies from your lecturers, waiting months for your mitigating circumstances request to be responded to. The university definitely could be more organised, but I really enjoy studying here otherwise. There are a lot of events held and some really nice societies too.
The best academics in the UK - they are experts in their fields! Amazing curriculum as well, but facilities and accommodation must improve!
Staff are generally helpful and friendly. Lots of great study spaces (I was in the business building), but Alan Gilbert is also a great place to study, although often full. Has a variety of great resources and useful learning material. Still on my 3rd year, but its been a great year so far!
It's a vibrant place, with lots of opportunities and nice people.
Very little support from the university on anything at all
Great experience in the first two years of uni. Support services and accessibility to those need improving
A respectable uni which I have enjoyed studying at
Some parts are questionable. They like giving out large fines and unjust marking but like you’re going to have a good time. Met some really good friends and it’s a good city so
It's one of the best Universities in Manchester and it shows. It is huge and has beautiful campus stretched around the city, with very aesthetic construction. The professors are mostly great and are all very competent in their field. I enjoyed attending the classes most of the times, and the academic focus is very strong.
Not best but not the worst. Teachers don't listen to feedback and are generally pretty bad
Great uni! Good facilities e.g. lecture theatres, libraries.
Very good! I've had an amazing time. I just feel like advertising if events it's not always good. Feel like i miss a lot.
