1,301 University of Manchester reviews

We have career videos and talks, we also receive emails about different job roles and activities we can apply to, but CV support isnt great

All online since Covid-19 with very little direct contact to lecturers. We have approx 6 hours a week that are recaps of the 2 hour videos we watch each week for each module (I have 4)

The facilities are good for the main campus where the libraries are open. However I am on North Campus where the door has been locked since COVID started so I have no access to any resources that are related to my course

I haven’t had direct contact with any of these services however there are weekly sessions where they address these issues

Employers live graduates from manchester

A lot of lectures, a lot of content, a lot of work! Taught by some of the best minds around

Loads of space and library stuff, engineering areas are good and being developed

Mental health support is good

Yes

Very few opportunities presented or how to go about getting careers in related fields or unrelated fields. Quite poor really!

Everything has been taught online during the pandemic even though we were promised blended learning. Before COVID it was all face to face with lab work and field trips.

This year we haven’t been able to access space on campus at all! Otherwise I would say the facilities are good! They serve a purpose.

Well-being and mental health at manchester needs addressing. They are sometimes quite offensive publishing articles about 6 steps to well-being which include folding socks - this will not solve depression and anxiety. Also DASS (disability support) is often thrown at students struggling with wellbeing which is not right as it takes away from students that need it the most! There needs to be more consideration and awareness.

This has never been mentioned since I’ve joined so I am unaware

Our course is a mix of online and lectures on zoom.

All the stuff which is open and I’ve used has been very good.

I’ve struggled this year and the uni don't offer that much academic support support. Some models are better then others but some are so bad. The uni do offer free therapy and extensions to the students that reach out for it though.

No

Attending the uni is very employable, there is fair support for finding a placement but I have not seen much support for finding graduate jobs.

I have preferred my final year while learning online as I am able to complete material and lectures in my own time which suits me best. All course leaders, with the exception of one, have provided great support and resources through detailed lectures, workshops and office hours. Discussion boards and seminars have been a good way to directly interact with course leaders and other students.

Nice buildings but no parking available, extremely overpriced food facilities. Study spaces generally taken up by people who leave their belongings there, but are then gone for hours.

Once registered with the facilities, there is good support. However I found it somewhat a challenge to approach and get registered with support services.

Amazing careers service since your first year!

With online learning of course the experience is not as great as with in person classes. That said, some lecturers make it more difficult for us because they never answer what we ask and just tell us to “look at Blackboard “ (well I’ve looked at it and didn’t find the answer to my doubt/query so that’s why I’m emailing you). However, most lecturers are working very hard to keep the lectures engaging and are very willing to answer quickly to our queries via email or drop in Q&A sessions.

State of art facilities, cannot complain at all.

Great support team from the immigration officer to counselling services. Also, the academic advisor that we have helps us a lot by directing us to the right services that will help us to solve the problem we are facing.

No

haven't really seen much of the campus so can't really say

No

At the minute I cannot comment fully, however there is a good careers team and a platform called careers link which helps a lot with job/internship posts.

Not many contact hours despite the government saying unis are allowed to return.

Clean and good. Only complaint is the current booking system with corona, there is never any available library bookings.

Awful. Mental health support is not good at all takes months to get any help.

No

I have not received much help from the university. Most employability events are run by the students and societies. The career service can only help amend your CV, but don't proactively help you find a job.

We get lectures uploaded weekly for each module and have a seminar for each one, every week or every subsequent week. We can contact our tutors, but it does take them a few days to reply via email. We have access to their online office hours over zoom.

We only have access to the library and another learning commons, which needs to booked in for the day before at 10am, or else they are all fully booked. If we do not get this slot, we are not allowed in the library due to being over capacity. They should open up more facilities for students to use. Maximum capacity for the library is a shocking 320.

Only recently have we received advice and resources for mental health. Previously it was difficult to access the counseling service, even with very concerning mental health issues.
