Attending this university (especially accelerated) is one of the best choices I've made and can't believe I'm leaving so soon! The support staff at this university are second to none - everyone knows you by name and are always happy to chat when they see you on campus. There's such a family and friendly feel about the place. Most lecturers are really easy to chat to and the class sizes are really great as it gives me so much more confidence to ask questions. The Old Trafford Location is well connected (2 mins from the tram stop) but also in a calmer and quieter area of town. I am slightly jealous of the Business School though and like to go there to study if I'm in town! Being in for the same 4 hours Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday means classes never take up to much of your day, giving loads of chance to study ,work meet up with friends etc. I've enjoyed the block style of study as I find it so much easier to focus on one topic at a time to give it my maximum effort and really understand it. The only reason I've put 4 for facilities is there's no pitches of our own for sports, however the sports labs and gym are excellent, especially with the gym only being £99 a year, and there were issues with the mac minis last year but they have been fixed now. There currently is no students union but there's still loads of clubs and activities including the women's football team and girl's night in which is great to connect with other people from other courses and there are loads of external events too. There's so many extra curricular opportunities too like becoming a content creator, ambassador or a student rep, and we often have guest speakers or lecturers from partners like KPMG and Microsoft, and there's and industry insight week coming up that I'm also really looking forward to. Overall, it's been a really great experience and I highly recommend for people who may not enjoy the traditional uni experience, it's really a unique institution.

The small class sizes mean a really good chance to discuss things with lecturers and 16 hours of lesson time I feel is plenty enough to learn and engage with the content. There have been hardware and software issues within the campus and classrooms but they have usually been solved really quickly. Most lecturers are really helpful and happy to answer any questions necessary and know you on a first name basis. The course content is written with industry in mind and useful content however some blocks haven't felt quite complex enough for me. In terms of careers, staff are quick to share any opportunities for internships and happy to help with applications for further study or into the workplace. There's also and industry insight week, where students get to visit KPMG and get a real understanding of working day-to-day in industry.

I would argue that attending UA92 one of the best choices I’ve ever made. From an excellent student support team and friendly lecturers/staff, to allowing students to attend amazing industry experiences, UA92 makes you feel right at home from the off. The lecturers have experienced first hand the industry in which students wish to step into, allowing for high quality, engaging seminars from day one. The cosy atmosphere of the university campus is always a go to, with sofa’s and breakout spaces right across both campus’. The only bad side for UA92 in my opinion is how busy my tram is on the way home.

My classes are split into 4 hours a day 4 days a week. I’m an afternoon student so my classes are from 2-6pm. Although at first i imagined this to be difficult to adapt to after going through the usual 9-4pm in high school and college, it gives ample opportunity for students who love a lie in (me) to have one, alongside allowing a permenant timetable you can plan your outside uni life around. Whether that be a part time job or in my case volunteering at my local football club, the structure is certainly a positive. UA92 (like most educational institutions) uses microsoft teams. This makes it significantly easy to contact your lecturers who are always quick to reply with any questions students have. For me the biggest selling point of UA92 is the 1-1 teaching. As someone with dyslexia I can sometimes struggle with bigger classes where the student teacher relationship can be distant. However at UA92, class sizes are small, allowing for a significant boost in 1-1 teaching with industry level professionals that helps benefit your studies massively.
