Night life in Manchester is great Good public transport links Knowledgeable and approachable lecturers Modern and up-to-date buildings Impressive sustainability credentials Extensive physical library and online database access Wide range of study spaces
Little one-to-one time, although office hours are available
Uni accom closely located to uni campus. City centre just a short walk / shorter bus journey away! Lots of study and wellbeing support. Excellent library and study skill workshop services!
Good mixture of teaching styles, some lectures, some seminars or workshops, some delivered online. Course unit leaders are friendly and happy to assist you if needs be.
Great accommodation! Big, sociable lay out. All en-suite. Gym, games room and TV room included. 24/7 security and great reception team!
Best aspects are the amount of opportunities available to socialise and meet new people. The events are also a great aspect as they provide fun at an affordable price. The worst aspects would be how expensive the vending machines are in the library and the fifths floor of the library no longer being a social study space.
Best aspects would be the amount of support available from lecturers. The worst aspect would be that some of the lectures are not very engaging.
Like most - how social the accommodation is and how easy it is to make friends with people with the halls regardless of which flat they are in. Like least - the laundry facilities.
I love the amount of opportunities the university carries for students who can get small part time jobs or just general experience. It was expands my social circle and develops my skills such as confidence and communication
Can get hard however there is help when needed
Greattt place to be
Good
Making the 5th floor library a group zone , improving, cheap food places
Nothing
The University buildings are beautiful, the resources and the support is very good
It's good but I feel there's not much support about placements
At first, I was incredibly nervous about studying at university: I came from a small town in the countryside and moving to the city was a big shock to my system. I started out being incredibly shy and reserved, never having lived away from home before. However, after a semester and a half here, I can see a real positive change to my confidence: the university's facilities are impeccable, with constant support from tutors and lecturers, so you don't ever need to worry about anything as there's always someone close by to help. I've made tonnes of friends via the Union (I really recommend the TableTop RolePlayingGame - TTRPG club!) Overall, I would really recommend this university to anyone, as even in the midst of a cost of living crisis, university life is not as intimidating or frightening at Manchester Metropolitan University. The only improvements I could ask for is some more accommodation, as student houses in Manchester right now are either too far away or too expensive, but that really is my only qualm.
I am currently a first-year single-honours Philosophy (BA Hons) student. My passion for this course started at A-Level when I was doing Religious Studies. Overall, this course is very well-rounded, engaging and thought-provoking. The first-semester courses are titled Questioning Humanity, Classical Philosophy, Death God and the Meaning of Life, and Theoretical Ethics. These courses assuredly hurt your brain in the best way possible. The only troubles I have is with the interdisciplinary course Questioning Humanity - although the course combines areas of Philosophy, History, and Politics, and focuses on the real-world current issues of the Earth's climate, I feel as if the course lacks in Philosophy-based content, with some lectures leaving me feeling slightly less engaged. The other three first-semester courses do promise exciting insights into notable philosophers, such as Kant, Descartes and Plato.
Rosamond House is a great choice of university halls, for both returning and first-time students! It is a three-minute walk to the campus, and the on-site maintenance and security team are very reliable. The internet occasionally dips out but it's rather fast the rest of the time. Room allocation can be rather tight, but that is mainly because Manchester does have a problem with student accommodation at the moment, with houses for students being either really far away or very expensive. Rosamond House is great value for money and the rooms are very decent - a few specks of damage here and there, but otherwise really comfortable and cosy.
It’s a top quality university and the staff are friendly and accommodate to everyone’s needs in the best way possible. Lecturers treat everyone with respect and just want to help. The campus is gorgeous although if I’m Brooks building it’s a bit away from everything. It’s close to train stations and easy bus access and have lovely lovely study spaces. The worst thing is that they are very unorganised, last minute timetable changed and room changes that when people are travelling in can’t be dealing with.
Practical sessions are amazing it’s where I learn the most, but lectures and tutorials you have to be sure to do study tasks or it’s much harder to follow along with the lecturers. Sometimes they can go through too fast.
