Austin hall needs a fresh up it is too old and definitely shows its age. Food at Fresh Hope could be better. The chicken sandwich at our place is the worse chicken I have ever had. Wish I was closer to the city center.

What students say about microbiology

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.

What students say about microbiology

There are excellent lecturers and student support services (particularly academic skills). The campus has a good feel and has a lot of outdoor seating which will be nice when the weather is warm. Lecture rooms are good but the seats are very uncomfortable. There is little impact from the students' union, for example there was no 'refreshers fayre' for January intake students, which also impacts the student life score.

St. George's University (SGU) School of Medicine

star rating 4.5

What students say about microbiology

Great teaching and student support, you feel more as a person rather than just a number when studying at St. George's. Facilities are quite good, nice classrooms and great library, tends to get rather packed during busy hours but otherwise it's a very cosy place to study and work on assignments. Lecturer's have always been helpful and provide quick responses to any query I ever had. I also really enjoy that discussions are encouraged during lectures. We also get a good amount of exposure from professionals not only from the institution but also from the hospital and other universities. Great support for student career and life after graduating.

Accommodation first year havimg to pay £50 extra for a bus pass on top of the most expensive accommodation is a lot. Study wise the lecturers are all clearly passionate about what they do and provide interesting material for readings.

What students say about microbiology

best - how active the SU is, though this is still not as good as it could be. General student support services are incredible. The academic staff that I have come into contact with are amazing and clearly care so much about their students - a complete contrast to university management who clearly could not care less about students, their welfare and their educational experience worst - university cutbacks - all of the cuts are financially unnecessary and are hollowing out the university, making students' experience worse and removing so many of the courses, staff and opportunities that make the university world renowned. Accessibility is also vastly varied between departments, and as a disabled politics student I haven't felt very supported by the departments processes etc despite the incredible academics who go above and beyond to ensure I am getting the most out of my education

I really like the friendly vibe of the people in Manchester. Everyone has been generally helpful so that’s really cool :) being part of a tv society I would like if we had updated equipment for filming better projects
