Read The University of Manchester Reviews
Internet is a bit unreliable sometimes, but the societies are endless and recent refurbishments to facilities are paying off.
Personally I haven't been that involved in this side of university life. So I can't really comment on the Students Union/Career service. I went to two societies and they were alright, they felt a bit unorganised but not bad considering they are run by students who have their own courses etc.
I'm writing this review as someone on the Autistic Spectrum and someone with longstanding mental health issues (depression, anxiety, suicidal tendencies). The university is absolutely HORRIBLE at dealing with and being compassionate for ANY mental health circumstances. As well as that they provided me with ZERO SUPPORT for my sport Taekwondo (in the olympics) in which I was a Commonwealth gold medalist and comepeting for Great Britain regularly. I do not compete in Taekwondo after being at this university. There really isn't any cause to go to this university if you have any history of mental health or sporting prowess. The majority of the staff undermine you as they don't take your mental health seriously, the support services are appalling (to the point where I attempted suicide and they referred me for a mental health appointment in 2 months), the mitigating circumstances are ridiculously hard to get and even if you get them you have a pay a stupid amount of money. Dont go here.
Study areas are noisy and often overcrowded. Library opening hours during summer are extremely limited at a time when post grad students are trying to do dissertation work. I would a advise seeking opportunities at other institutes which may have better facilities and cheaper course fees.
Deeply disheartened about how little support I got after been diagnosed with a learning disability. Do not attend.
I haven't heard one comment about how it helps you land a job and prepare you to actually be effective in whatsoever course you're taking (this is just a whole lot of business).
Fantastic university, questionable SU
If you get involved in the societies and clubs that are available it will definitely help you make the most of your time at Manchester as this is were many people meet a lot of their friends. The students union host events often such as Pangaea festival twice a year and Athletics union night every Wednesday which are pretty fun. I would say if you don't get involved then there isn't a huge sense of community at Manchester and you may end up feeling a bit isolated, get involved early on and don't leave it too late.
absolutely love it. better than I could've imagined - insane social opportunities, always something to do, beautiful city, great transport connections. amazing.
Manchester is great and huge. It provides outstanding facilities to students. Apart from being a slick uni, the quality of education is amazing. I have just graduated from the business school and the respect I got from employers are fantastic. The lecturers are world leaders in their research, the careers service is one of the best, the students union is the largest- the list goes on. Besides, the city itself is amazing being cheap and convenient in every way for a student population.
The South campus is full of great facilities, including the Students Union, libraries, cafes, computer clusters etc and is in a good location, very easy to get to from any of the accommodation areas. The uni has a very active students union with events such as Pangaea festival in September every year, and creating a student wristband for freshers week with organised events. There is a clubs/societies fair at the beginning of the year to showcase the different options, but societies can also be joined online which is pretty useful - good range include sports, creative societies such as fashion or blogging, international societies, societies for different subjects/schools etc so theres something for everyone
The campus is great with great facilities, however, the residneces were nit situated correctly.
The university of "bums on seats". You are just a number here. Expect lectures of 200+ people and little one to one time with tutors. No campus feeling. No prestige factor compared to LSE, Warwick or Oxbridge.
Best uni + best city for a mix of a high standard of academic work and crazy nightlife
Lovely campus with great facilities. Nice students union and lots of clubs with varieties.
Nice, attractive campus, in a good location not too far from the city centre, modern facilities, very sociable university
The campus is always under construction but if it wasn't it would be nice!
Improve SU more events and need psychology society events
Need better wifi. More computers
Brilliant facilities and lots of societies
not enough computers in the library and really randomly placed toilets. su's alright. nice giant tv they spent 123k on though well in
Amazing city, great facilities and cheap!
The SU is fantastic at Manchester and even holds the largest student festival in Europe 3 times a year - Pangaea! You can find any club or society at the dressers fair in September , but if you miss that you can join online! Manchester have massive ability on the sports side of things, but don't worry about that interfering with your social life because Wednesday will be your night! There are more academic societies too - something to suit everyone!
Students union isn't cheap but the halls bar Squirrels is £1.30 a pint!
It was hard to come to another country for studies, but the university has been very welcoming and supportive. The way the things are done here is just incredible. easily the best desition I made was to come to this university.
Great university with fantastic facilities and teaching.
I like Manchester. Manchester is nice. Manchester is big. Manchester has a lot of buses, a lot of fast food outlets, a lot of alternative bars, a lot of music, a lot of clubs, a lot of cool kids. Manchester is fun fun fun fun fun fun fun
Its a very good student city, the university is very well equipped, only complaint is the wifi is very slow
I love this university, great city and people!
The rooms are small, cosy the view is disaappointing a car park. The reception are kind and friendly. The door locks avoid us from interacting with everyone in the building. There is no wi-fi
Victoria Halls are great place to be close to uni and are also one of the much nicer accommodation on offer. More quiet than other halls however still plenty of people to have flat parties with and have a good time
Great university, cheap SU bar, modern facilities and amazing people.
amazing social life, supportive tutors and lovely people - couldnt be better
Internet can be temperamental but it's everywhere so really useful
Very good university in general and it's in an amazing, lively city.
Great University to learn and to have fun.
Honestly, I can't think of anywhere else I'd go to study Life Sciences. The money available is crazy, all the facilities are top-notch and the support is excellent.
I'm from London and despite how hard it is to say Manchester is better in almost every way.
Such a great uni with a really fun atmosphere - so much going on, it's always buzzing.
I can't really fault the university. The only thing that would make me mark it down in facilities is the fact that us students who are paying £9,000 a year still have to pay for printer credit. Ridiculous.
Amazing uni overall, amazing place to live, perfect for all students
Everything is really well organized. The queue at the SSC is quite long sometimes
Wouldn't want have gone anywhere else, coming from a small city - Manchester as a big city is great and everything around the uni is so easy to find! The public transport system is amazing which is very helpful.
A great university full of helpful staff and friendly people. The facilities are all well-suited to specific uses and are easy to locate. The campus is a busy but fun place to be with great transport links. Overall, a really good university.
Such a great place, feel very lucky to be here.
University is great, eduroam means there's fast wifi across campus, countless social events and societies to join, great sports teams
Really good but a little disappointed in the cost of some societies. I like the fact that everything is largely on one campus
Nice uni, it still has somethings to improve
No complaints, many opportunities, has everything you can think of.
Great university and the city is awesome.
student union v good at organising social events, lots of societies to choose from ranging from feminism to cheese and wine campus is huge
I love manchester its my fave place in the world
The students union is amazing with care for you and clubs and Societies like there is a quiditch one will you believe it, also there is a modern 24 hour building called Alan Gilbert like a library but less silent, they have a sleep pod which is awesome, also library is huge got lost too many times
Manchester is such a vibrant university with loads of events going on. The societies are really good and there is so much to get involved with.
yeh its really good, nice one mates
It is a very good place to study, there is a vibrant student union and the facilities for my course are wonderful
Nice university, great facilities, good teachers.
It is a great uni with great people and a great nightl11/10. In my second year now and loving it. 11/10
Great learning experience overall.
Manchester has the biggest student population and it shows. you will always find the right people for you and the right halls of residence and places to hang out that suit you too. My course was robust and challenging, with a good level of support and a great cohort to get me through it! If you're an extrovert then get on UCAS and apply now. If you're not but you like meeting people, get on UCAS and apply now. If you like your peace and quiet, perhaps not!
Great university filled with world class researchers.
As a international fresher (Norwegian), I find Manchester a place I could truly settle. Going through a Mechanical Engineering degree, time just runs by. Indeed there is a lot of work to do, what else could you expect from an engineering course, but there is also so many extracurricular activities you could take part in. Among a few, the once I am included in is the Swim team, Mechsoc (Mech. Eng. Society), SEM team, and I would love to do a lot more (unfortunately each day is limited to 24 hours per day...). A bit surprisingly is how many measures the university does to follow up their students both academically and socially. With tutorials in each course, PASS and personal tutorial, you are covered in every possible way. PASS is a weekly meeting lead by students from the years above, combining both social and academic work in a smaller group, and personal tutorial is a weekly meeting between a student group of 5-6 students and a professor, where you could ask whatever you want.
Great university in a buzzing city full of students - loving my time here
Really enjoying it and everything is easy to locate.
Banging first few weeks only apply for fallowfield accom.
Absolutely no faults! Such a fun place to be, with so much going on. The teaching is fantastic and they give you so much help and advice with everything. The facilities are great and there are so many opportunities to get involved in a huge range of things and meet so many people
A friendly and welcoming environment that allows one to flourish
Great uni with such a friendly atmosphere - best choice made!
Only in first year, but everything seems excellent!
So far could not have had a better experience. So much diversity, so many people to make friends with. Every club under the sun. The facilities are awesome and there's just a really good vibe to the place. The sheer variety and quantity of food available here provides a really sociable vibe.
The Student Union and societies are great! There's free wifi all across the campus, and PC Clusters in just about every building. Cafes everywhere, you can get your stuff printed, libraries, common rooms. Overall, a great place.
Anything you want to do at uni you can find here, opportunities for everyone and anything!
Great university to be, a vibrant city and lots of people from abroad!
wifi everywhere is amazingly convenient
I love this uni. So much choice, so many options, beautiful modern and historical campus, great graduate prospects. Perfect.
All round excellent place. So glad I came. M
Good condition,except that it seems it is not really conducive for student trying to push himself. Most students are seriously laid back.
Nice big university with a lovely campus A friendly staff with loads of societies for everyone
Love UoM, great environment and cultural scene. Lots going on and organised by the SU and students are generally very happy here.
Very good university with some good and some bad lecturers. It depends on what modules and course you pick, but the majority of my lecturers were good at what they do. I only wished there were more restaurants or cafees on campus, so I didn't have to go to town or somewhere else to eat in my lunch times
why would you want to go anywhere else
UoM is a really good university because of the students. it is really sociable and tackles problems head on such as sexual harrassment, bullying etc. unlike other unis which hide it and do not provide support. Teaching probably needs to improve...but i think that is for my course (geography) and not others - i have met a lot of students that are happy with their teaching, etc.
Doing my LLB at the moment and I can truly say this uni is everything you could've asked for.
When I first went to see the university it was at an open day. I was overwhelmed by both the campus and the staff and the first impression remained ever since.
Such a great uni with fab facilities and very nice staff. Everyone is happy and the overall atmosphere is upbeat. Plus, the halls are pretty rad :)
I think University of Manchester is a great, professional place to stay, a very vibrant international community.
It's a wonderful place to study and live. It strikes a perfect balance between nature and fashion.
The best uni - great rep especially MBS
Amazing uni. Ranked 30 globally, which is not reflected on many domestic rankings.
Amazing, the best nightlife and courses!
The university is okay, but too large to be friendly.
Having a lovely time at this wonderful place
Manchester loves it's students and you can tell. Wifi access is available almost everywhere on campus for free. The careers service has won awards for how good it is and is clearly one of the best in the country. The resources available for a UoM student to broaden their horizons are amazing. In terms of clubs/societies, we have over 400 so there is bound to be something for everyone. If there isn't, you can start your own! Manchester is the university of opportunity which cannot be missed.
I overall the university has great facilities, a great social life, and in general the staff are always willing to help. However, there appears to be a sever lack of organisation within the university, especially when it comes to the admin department.
I initially started at Uni of Leeds, and ending up dropping out as it wasn't for me. I have found the course, Staff, facilities and General uni experience at manchester 100 times better and friendlier! I immediately felt settled, welcomed and feel my education quality has improved hugely due to changing Uni's!
