The teaching is top notch, and the support is fantastic. Everyone is very giving with their time and willing to answer any questions.
The best aspects of University of Greater Manchester(Formelly known as University of Bolton) is the content of the course and how fun its to learn my course. Also another good thing about my university are events for students that are happening on facility. They are always engaging anf fun
The teachers are very supportive in our studies and are always here to help. I feel there needs to be a bigger budget for materials
Best - students and staff are all so friendly and willing to help Worse - as lots of students live at home there's less of a student life
Lots of facilities on site and near by
If you are disabled in any way or form, do not come to the university of greater Manchester as they care more about changing their name than fixing the lifts that have been broken for 6 months. The one remaining lift is dangerous and has dropped with multiple student and teachers in it. So many people have complained but they haven’t done anything
The facilities and courses themselves are lovely. Tutors are great and co-operative. Location isn’t “lovely” but is very walkable and ideal for students in a lot of ways.
Organise the fun things, please!
Underprepared and sometimes feels like we teach ourselves.
Such a diverse place and felt welcome as soon as I started my journey
Paramedic science degree teaching is good
The course is great. Enjoying it. Lecturers approachable
Can feel quite busy and cramped during freshers etc. Course is good- learning lots. Convenient location. Lack of parking- multi story is expensive for students.
The course I am on, the staff are very supportive, very helpful and knowledgeable. The uni itself is a little outdated, not enough places to sit at breaktimes, and not enough facilities such as kettles and microwaves. Library is good and staff are very helpful
The University of Greater Manchester has great support for the international student and they provide mentorship on every step of our education and the teaching staff is very supportive Due to the student union elections I think they are not doing their best but trying to help all the students
Amazing university. Lecturers have been the best and most supportive. It is a great place to study many courses and I have heard so much positive feedback.

First gen student
classrooms need update so that there is facilities for all to be able to plug in laptops. Often cold and unwelcoming. Simulation suites equipped with nessassary items to use. Lifts continuously out of order , dead ends on stairwells. Additional carparking availability. Library is good with plenty of work space.
The best aspect of the university is the support provided by the teachers. They are very keen to help to ensure the students successfully both academically and in general life. The uni has no real worst aspect and is continually improving to e sure student satisfaction.


Great friendly staff, mentors and teachers and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. Could have more options of societies and events.
Many different areas of study and aspects of thought however could be more hands on and have trips.
