Uni location is great with many establishments, shops and restaurants nearby. The new Mecd building is also the perfect place for groups or solo study sessions, with plenty of access to plugs, wifi and cafes. However, PCs in the libraries and the learning commons definitely need an update with how long they take to log in. Booking study rooms is also quite difficult if you want to use the main library.
You get plenty of choices for which units you want to study in biomed. The units offered cover a wide range of topics, ensuring there is something for everyone to enjoy. The biomed programme also offers flexibility in the first yr that allows you to switch between most degree programmes in the school (except specialist subjects such as biochem). Deadlines can sometimes prove a problem, especially with multiple assessments in tutorial units per semester. This, however, can be easily managed by contacting your tutor and unit coordinators to ask for extended deadlines and help.
Excellent study facilities, terrible IT & sports.

(Private halls)
Everyone is so friendly and the staff are so supportive. I’ve had so many struggles throughout my university life but my uni has never once made me feel like I’ll fail because of it or that I can’t achieve good things. It’s such a safe space and the atmosphere is amazing.
It’s a lot but it makes sense why as it’s an intense job: we need to be well trained so I think it’s actually good how much content we have
I love the facilities. The teaching has been overall great (minus the odd lecturer). The labs are big and there is lots of equipment. The sporting clubs are great too! My worst experience would be in my first year where I suffered quite badly in lockdown and was offered very little support.
Most lectures are great. Despite the content being hard they explain it really well. Tutorials are really useful. Sometimes there is too much work to do and it gets a bit overwhelming.
Manchester is a great really fun place to live! There is lots to do in and around the centre. Fallowfield is very social and a fun place to be. The rent isn’t too expensive either. However, sometime it isn’t that safe especially at night.
My halls were lovely. The rooms were large and clean and they were in a great place. However, they were quite expensive.
