Everything is very personal here down to the lecturers getting to know the individual which helps education a lot

Best aspect is one on one time with the lecturers they take time to look over work. Sometimes they talk a lot

Don’t go with Manchester Academy

This university is inclusive and supportive of disabilities and mental health! They engage the students in as much as possible in order to maintain a social aspect and help those who may feel lonely! They regularly offer free essential food for those in need, take place in collections for charities and try to bring in sporting events where they can! They regularly keep in contact on teams, providing events to support your CV, free qualifications and benefits to students. Classes are small and manageable allowing for engaging learning and support where needed. There are always friendly faces around campus, and students are encouraged to attend events to meet new people and grow their social network. Things that could be improved are facilities around campus- allow these are developing such as an igloo, digital rooms, a gym, and dance lessons! What would be most useful would be somewhere for sports teams to train and compete. Having an on campus library with essential books for subjects would be great. And having a social cafe/bar would help to engage students. Overall I think this uni is committed to creating an engaging and student led atmosphere, while slowly developing their facilities

You either get given a PM or AM timetable. My class is on the PM timetable meaning lessons are always 2pm-6pm for the time spent completing your course. This is beneficial as it helps you to create a routine and plan your free time confidently. The course is split into 4 blocks (a bit like terms) in which you will study 1 subject such as biomechanics for 5 weeks with 1 week of CPD at the end. For the 5 weeks you complete 2 assessments non-exam based. And the 1 week of CPD builds you up to your projects you get given with partners of the university such as most recently creating a Golf top for Aaron Willis. The classes are small and engaging. Lecturers are always on teams to reply if you are not able to make it to university or have any questions. All lessons are recorded allowing for more freedom with note taking and go over sections you may have forgotten in class. Wednesdays are digital Wednesdays and you are not required to be on campus. You are set a task on teams by your tutor for that block. They always try to bring in guest speakers helping develop knowledge and allowing you to make connections with those who you may want to work with later in your life. They also try and provide trips that support your learning too such as going to labs for biomechanics. The support from tutors are always there, making it less stressful when completing assignments. Work is marked in a timely manner. If you fail an assignment (below 40%) you are given the chance to re-sit after your 4 blocks are over. Overall it’s amazing with lots of support- especially if you prefer more 1-1 conversations

It is right next to bus stops and tram lines. It is near old Trafford stadium and Lancaster cricket club. There are local shops nearby if you need any snacks and a cafe across the road! There’s on-site parking or places nearby. There are easy links to restaurants, clubs and social events via trams etc. And only a few stops away from Manchester City centre.
