The overall ranking is decided by students from this institution rating them in a 2026 Whatuni review. This forms the basis of the Whatuni Student Choice Awards (WUSCAs for short).
The uni is great, and where I live in Fallowfield is amazing. It’s the perfect place to be as a student because there are so many bars and clubs for you to go to that are so nearby, as well as supermarkets and takeaways – perfect. The people I’ve met here particularly on my course are also really friendly and enthusiastic, and because everyone’s in the same boat at the beginning it’s really easy to meet them and make new friends.

Manchester uni has been a really great choice for me, I started studying physics last year but decided to change to mechatronics, and they made the whole process really easy with no hassle. Because of that I’d recommend making sure you’re very enthusiastic about the course you’ve chosen before you apply for it, even though Manchester made it really easy for me to change. Also the place itself is really amazing to be as a student, there’s always socials and events going on, and Fallowfield is almost entirely students so it’s easy to meet people.
Manchester uni is ideal as it has a wide range of courses, good lecturers and facilities which are really useful. The nightlife in Manchester for me is almost unrivalled too.
The course is fantastic with a good range of module choices available in the first semester. The university facilities are a very high standard with a great number of available university computers at any time. City life in Manchester is absolutely brilliant with plenty of bars, clubs and other attractions to try!
