What students say about data-science

I really love the city, I love how the university looks after its students and how there is an amazing student life. The facilities are incredible. I think the Guild is good, but prices could be lower and with societies they could be more lenient compared to other universities

The best experience is meeting new people from different back grounds. The worst aspect is the communication between the head of the course/module and other members of staff, about deadlines and what they can and can't help with.

What students say about data-science

the location is very convienient and is very close to many shops. However the Hallam Help Desk is not very convinient and only give info that can already be found or a number that says info already on the site(s). However the teachers are helpful at saying where to get help and request specifics. The lessons are also nice as they allow conversations between the class about the subject and leszon along with help from the teachers.

The staff are incredible, unbelievably understanding and supportive. They want you to succeed and you can really tell. However, Lipman building is constantly broken. The top two floors have been out of service for year and now the entire building is out of commission and not expected to be back until the summer. Surely at this point just demolish the place.

What students say about data-science

University has been a mix of incredible highs and frustrating lows. The best part has definitely been the freedom—being able to explore subjects I’m genuinely interested in, meeting people from all walks of life, and finally feeling like I have some control over my own routine. Some of the friendships I’ve made feel like they’ll last a lifetime, and there’s something exciting about the late-night study sessions, spontaneous adventures, and even the occasional deep conversations with people I just met. But on the flip side, the pressure can be overwhelming. Balancing deadlines, social life, and basic self-care sometimes feels impossible, and there are moments when imposter syndrome kicks in hard. There have been times when I’ve felt completely lost, wondering if I’m actually on the right path or just going through the motions. Still, even with the stress, I wouldn’t trade the experience—it’s been chaotic, challenging, and sometimes exhausting, but it’s also been one of the most defining periods of my life.

What students say about data-science

All the facilites are in a really good place making study easy, however i think it would be even better if it was allowed to stay in some builing to work at night. Even if the Catalyst is open 24/7, it can get crowded at night during exam season and it would help if builing such as the Creative Edge can be open to student after 8pm even if they dont usually have class in the builing.

Best experience is the support in this university is remarkable. Worst experience is last minute notices sometimes with events been cancelled or things that are happening on the day so I can plan ahead.

What students say about data-science

The course curriculum is designed well to lay the foundations of various subjects in 1st sem, and we apply those learnings during our assignments and in the 2nd sem. It is more practical learning with hands-on approach on group projects and industry collaborations in the 2nd sem. The staffs are brilliant and incredibly supportive. There are lots of facilities and societies for extra curriculars. The university is situated near the city centre and so it is in a very good location. People in the town are very kind. Overall, I am having a great experience in the university.

What students say about data-science

The staff, peer guides, students etc... Have been very supportive! They help whenever they can and provide the necessary information to succeed. The lectures halls and class rooms and labs are very well maintained, everyone is punctual, they are very good at communication and answering follow up questions. Overall the staff and people at MMU are the highlight of the university overall. However some things that would need to be improved on is the washrooms. They're quite small and often extremely wet or sometimes dirty. This is not the case every where or in every washroom however it seems to be a pretty consistent thing regarding bathrooms. I understand and appreciate the cleaner and staff are doing their best though, and it's a mainly student on student issue. However the general size of the bathrooms is small, especially the ones near the stairwells.

Best aspect: the fact that the library has a zine maker space, the various study areas, my accommodation is on campus, I like the societies, the teachers are very nice Worst aspect: all the vending machines/cafes/convenience stores on campus are wildly overpriced, so much reading.
