Diabetes Nursing postgraduate degrees in Northern England

Location is ideal if you travel by train, as the train station is literally on the door step of the uni! The main campus is large, split over 2 sites across the train tracks, health and clinical courses are taught at the Mary Seacole and allerton buildings. Both very well equiped and large enough to accommodate the large cohort. Amazing facilities including xray and CT machines. The library is always open and loads of small quiet places to stay, socialise and study. This is a big campus and can be over whelming, however this is helped by good planning of rooms and common rooms across both campuses.

Since the university is so centrally located, there are so many things to do within a 10-20 minute walk, whether it is going to the library, bank, parks, market, or the Quayside. The student support is great. There are a lot of resources available to get help from when you are facing difficulties with your academics or personal life. There is a ton of flexibility and alternative arrangements for assessments and exams. The Student Union is insanely active. Lots of activities organized every week, with a ton of promotion on social media, so you always know what's happening on and off campus.

One of the best aspects of my university experience has been the opportunity to engage with a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about technology and innovation. The campus offers a variety of extracurricular activities that have enriched my social and academic life. However, a notable drawback is the fact that the course content for my program is not accredited by the British Computer Society (BCS), which raises concerns about the recognition of my degree in the professional field. Additionally, the courses offered under the applied artificial intelligence umbrella have not met my expectations. The content often lacks depth and fails to cover the latest advancements in AI that are critical for a comprehensive understanding of the subject. For improvement, I would suggest the university seek BCS accreditation, which would not only enhance the credibility of the program but also assure students of meeting a recognized standard of education in computer science. Moreover, a curriculum overhaul for the AI-related courses is necessary to incorporate cutting-edge technologies and methodologies, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared for the demands of the industry. Engaging with industry professionals to update the course materials could be a way forward to bridge the gap between academic theories and real-world applications.

I have really loved my time at Manchester and although it wasn't my first choice, I am glad I came here. Any issues are definitely more at the institutional level, with individual faculties generally being really great. It is a shame to see the way the faculties and academic staff are let down by the poor organisation of the uni as a whole; it is on this basis that I wouldn't definitively recommend. I think a lot of aspects of my enjoyment of the experience have probably been in spite of the university as an overarching institution, rather than because of it. If you are someone who feels they need a lot of individual support, I'd probably discourage you as from what I've seen and heard it is quite poor.

The facilities are modern and there are plenty of places to eat on campus. The SU organises lots of events and clubs to get involved in. Sometimes there is a long wait for mental health support which means you're not always able to get it when you need it.

Library is very nice and modern, good facilties. Careers and Employability were very useful and helped me improve my CV. Staff are very helpful and welcoming. Uni is very clean and gardens always look very nice. I love the private study offices and the kitchen areas. Not many downsides only really it can be very busy somedays. More facilities for food like microwaves and kettles.
