Brilliant teaching and helpful staff, more interaction in tutorials can be very dry

The uni is placed in the centre of manchester very close to the city centre shopping area arndale and piccadily gardens so everything from halls of residence to shopping areas are within walking distance. They have amazing facilities with morw than enough room for everyone to study comfortably aswell as amazing wifi reaching all across oxford road. It couod be improved by having a more involved student bodg presence as the only thing ive heard about them all semester is the new rep elections.

there's good access to top-level tech and the university name carries prestige. However there is little substance beneath this. The management is disorganised, suggestions for course improvements (I'm the course rep) fall on deaf ears, we haven't had a single assessment back on time and are still waiting on exam results from January (it's now nearly April). Really don't understand what I'm getting for £11k

It is central to the city with beautiful buildings. Lecturers are very passionate about the course that they are teach. However, management doesn’t seem to be the most active when it comes to actioning concerns

Lecturers strive to ensure understanding some times at a personal cost. Management is a little lethargic when it comes to issues students are facing and rate of action could be improved.

best: the facilities in the Alliance Manchester Business School are new and good. worst: Wi-Fi, student check-in system and other security systems sometimes show some problems.

There are countless of resources and multiple types study spaces, so you’re sure to ding what you need to excel. However, I think there could be improvements in student support!

The uni is in an amazing location and offers great student life, there is so much to do and enjoy in manchester. The library and learning commons are great and offer amazing facilities and loads of space to study, 24/7. You can also borrow iPads/laptops from the uni for those who cannot afford their own. There is such a broad range of courses on offer at Manchester and my degree can include modules from other Social Science disciplines to read deepen my understanding and learning. The student union is great and offers loads of activities and events, such as poster sales, vinyl sales, fundraisers for world events, and protests to partake in. There are also great student bars and local nightlife.

The best about Manchester is the people, having such a student body really help feeling welcome and willing to study.

In general it is really great. My biggest problem is that none of my face to face teaching is lecture content, they are things such as Q&A so I don’t always feel like I’m getting the uni experience
