Astrophysics degrees in North West England

The staff and students around the campus are always so welcoming and friendly. It really makes me enjoy where I’m studying. I think something that could be improved is the university’s response to student based issues.

Exceptional campus with great facilities, and easy to navigate with signs. Lots of opportunities for societies ect and there is something for everyone. Working alongside other like-minded students and lots of opportunities to make new friends helps for a great work/life balance. Friendly and helpful staff bring a welcoming atmosphere. Many opportunities created by the university for undergraduate jobs and other things which help in bolstering student’s cv. A variety of courses available for students to choose from, my course (Chemistry) is enjoyable and academically challenging which helps me to push myself to work to my maximum capacity and the facilities and staff are amazing to help assist me to work as best as I can.

I think the lecturers are great and there’s lots of good support for students with support plans. However, I think I would benefit from weekly (instead of fortnightly) seminars as I feel as if I do not get to properly engage in fortnightly seminars.

The main thing I love about Uni of Manchester is that there is the campus feel that really makes you feel like a university student but also you are really close to the rest of a big city! I also have to mention the main library - shout out to purple obviously... an exceptional place to study. I will miss it so much when I've gone! UoM could be improved by making sure that courses are made more social! Apart from medicine, I don't know of any other course that makes an effort to mix the student populations of the course. In my undergrad, I knew about 5 people and that's it! There weren't really other opportunities for us to mix and to meet new people.
