Overall my university has excellent services which support student needs. Ranging from drop in sessions, group counselling which can help meet new people going through similar experiences and course support from mentors, tutors and external services such as links emailed to student accounts about external research, revision resources and participating in research, events held as the university and outside the university (they had a psychology networking event outside university which we were informed about to attend). A number of different societies to join to meet new people and emerse yourself into student life. The student union is cheap, and decent food. However sometimes you can be waiting like an hour or someone on your table will get theirs and finish before you’ve been given your food (but awkward when you’re trying to eat out with friends). Saying that it produces jobs for the students to gain experience. Additionally they have excellent connections with external employers, meaning they advise jobs for graduates suited to their field as well as during studying to gain skills and knowledge of an area you wish to go in. Regular pop up employer events are held and a range of extra classes to support your studies such as critical writing classes, analysis classes, grammar classes, language classes, how to speak confidentally classes and so on. They also have more chill extra classes such as fun problem solving ones, playing with dough etc. My course is interesting and coursework isn’t too heavy. Only down side would be the hardness of interaction between students. Amazing cafes and food places, met card allows for easy payment. Supplies at the union range from food to art supplies to sports wear and Mmu hoodies.

The lectures and facilities are amazing. I mainly us the John Dalton building where there is loads of support and places to work independently, get food and meet friends. It is really a great environment for students to be.

Everything about mmu is amazing. The staff are always willing to help with assignments and exams. The library is the best place it is full of great books. My course has been challenging but fun.

It's ok, you feel like you slip through the gaps a lot but its alright, they try and to always be improving but i think the amount of students vs. The support isn't balanced.

Campus is good, convenient & up to date. The course is great with great tutors. The careers hub is very helpful with any queries you may have.

I was super anxious about starting uni in September after spending near enough a year in and out of hospital and between doctors oppointments. But plucking up the determination and getting my butt into university was honestly the best thing I’ve ever done. The course is amazing. The tutors and lectures are so kind and compassionate. Plus the facilities and structure of the day is totally manageable, challenging and busy, but manageable. Honestly this university is just what I needed.

Man met, a really great place to go, all the vibrance of Manchester makes this an incredible choice for someone looking to experience a real city. Courses on offer are excellent too. It's a uni on the rise and will continue to become a top uni in the years to come.

Excellent university. Very welcoming when you start. Well facilitated and all the required support you need is there. My course (Web Development) is excellently taught with very passionate lecturers whom are brilliant at their job.

Timetables not greatly organised. Lecturers clear Material is academic but at times seems patronising

Manchester Metropolitan. I had heard such good things about it. It’s a shame that it didn’f live up to it. The organisation of the course leaders is a shambles. I had joined my course through clearing but they had no clue who I was. I wasn’t allowed to go to the first week of induction lectures because they hadn’t finished all of my admin. During that first week, I missed quite a lot and had no clue about what was going on. Secondly, the standard of teaching really is poor. The lack of enthusiasm from some of the lecturers made me feel bored and uninterested in their lectures. After studying my first year at the University of Greenwich, I can definitely say that I had a much more pleasant experience there but wanted to move away for uni to experience the living and social side of it. It’s safe to say that it was a regret.

MMU is a great university, with lots of societies and activities going on, there’s always something going on somewhere, but as a commuter I don’t access these, timetabling on my course leaves a lot to be desired, in full time 9-6 most days but often with 3 hour breaks.

MMU is a good place in my experience if you want to study accounting and finance. You study and learn in the new business building which has all the facilities you need, canteen, student hub, study area, computers etc. Lectures are all online so it's easy to go back to lectures for revision.

Lecturers always have time to meet you for extra help or a meeting, I never feel like I can't ask a question which is great. Campus is great, library has an abundance of books but could do with more computers, although there probably will never be enough, but a few more would definitely help.

The university is really good, so are the teachers and they're always willing to help the student with anything. In regards of international students, there isn't much help particularly regarding post-uni options.

The university is better than I expected and I would recommend people to study here as it’s so close to good places, clubs, supermarkets and shopping places and much more

Great sporting activities available and clubs to get involved in for all interest levels. Tutors invest time in you due to smaller class sizes so they give you feedback on your work to ensure you’re reaching your full potential. Good careers services available to assist in all applications of jobs from part time to graduate and will look at your CV and cover letters and provide feedback to help you get the job. Lots of cosy study spots available across campus and also a 5 storey library with different zones of study, such as a quiet zone, computer zone or group work zone. To help provide the learning environment you learn best in.

The university offers a wide range of student support which they advertise effectively. My experience at this university so far is positive as they have great staff, fascinating courses they offer and lots of support.

The campus is compact and everything is close together. The facilities are good and modern and we have extra things like the MET card which gives you money to spend in the uni. The online library has of books online for free meaning you don't have to buy them. My course could have been organised better as there is lots of overlap between the 2 halves.

Currently staying at the Cheshire Campus, and it’s nice and small, easy location. Close to retail park for shopping and hunger needs. Staff are friendly, supportive and respectful.
