Music Studies degrees in Manchester

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.

Mmu has strong academic reputation, excellent industry links like Siemens and employability . They have cutting edge facilities: state of the art labs are amazing! I love their commitment to sustainability; they are ranked as one of the best. The university could be improved : They need to improve in library services They need to have more rooms for studying They definitely would need more pc rooms! As they are always occupied when I need one, especially during exam times The library needs to get the books back in ; the books gave the library character and a reason for student to come to the library Other than this, Mmu is amazing!

The lecturers are really approachable and want you to succeed. It feels really inclusive and diversity is appreciated. Being so close to Manchester there's lots going on and good transport links. The only real criticism I have is the use of online lectures, how ever much they try, they aren't as condusive to learning as in person lectures are especially if you have difficulties with concentration. I understand that universities are trying to find ways to cut costs but I feel that this detracts from the whole student experience both academically and socially.

I have enjoyed my first year but I’m also looking forward to getting to learn in the building. I think that’ll make a big difference for me. Because this is a music course I think it does really rely on being in person. However, the university and the teachers have adapted extremely well given the current circumstances.

The university takes a long time to respond to claims. Also feedback is given back sparsely and it takes a long time to get back which makes it difficult to improve for future assignments. The labs are very nice and it is good that we are learning multiple different techniques. The student life and feel is also very nice. And even though there is limited study space on campus especially during exam time, if you get to the library early enough you will find a seat somewhere.
