Not easy

(5)·By Arusha M·Pharmacology / Pharmacy· Jun 2023
Not as easy as everyone says it is, exams or coursework is due every few weeks and hours of self learning for subjects I have never done before. You have to work hard but it will be all worth it at the end

Very good university, as they prioritise your mental health and give you a lot of support to do not fall behind. Furthermore, university is very modern and the amenities are thought for people with disabilities.

Their teaching is wonderful having multiples drop in for all the subjects you study and so far teachers do not make you feel stupid when you ask questions in fact they are very supportive and say to you "no question is a stupid question".

I absolutely recommend to study at The university of Manchester.

The BEST

(5)·By Urwa Q·Psychology· Jun 2023
The University of Manchester is by far the best institution for me. I am absolutely enamored with its stunning campus, as each building boasts a unique aesthetic that truly captivates me. One of the things that I appreciate most about this university is the ample study spaces available in every building, which have proven to be incredibly useful. The cafes located within the buildings are simply incredible, particularly during the winter months when I find myself reaching for a steaming hot chocolate on a daily basis. Additionally, the priority access to free bus transportation for University of Manchester students has been an incredibly helpful and money-saving perk.

The Student Union is another standout feature of this institution, offering unwavering support to students whenever needed. The availability of electronic resources has been essential for me and others with similar needs. There are also a plethora of fantastic food options both on and off-campus, with numerous exciting destinations to explore within the vicinity of the university. With the town located in close proximity to the university, shopping and museum visits are only a stone's throw away. Furthermore, there are a wealth of job opportunities available both within the university and in town, making travel a breeze. All in all, the university staff and students are a welcoming and friendly bunch, making socializing and settling in a breeze - it just takes a little nudge to get started!

The Point of View of a Materials Science student at the University of Manchester

(5)·By Sarah H·Materials Science & Engineering· Jun 2023
All thanks to the University of Manchester, I have been able to develop further interest in the course that I'm currently pursuing. The excellent lab facilities for research and development provided a great platform to expand my horizon on the world of science and technology. It allows me to dive deeper into my field of study and grow more passion towards Materials Science. Apart from academics, I also developed an excellent social life with my peers and colleagues. Thank you to the university's Students' Union, I'm able to build connections with students outside my department through networking events and talks such as the 'Empowering Female in STEM' program I have recently attended. The leadership opportunities at university also help us to achieve greater curricular milestones such as the Stellify Award. This gives students the chance to boost their resumés or CVs when applying to graduate jobs of their choice. Being a student representative as well as an university ambassador made me realise a brighter future certainly awaits me. I look forward to see what's in store for me in my final year of study at university, from making the best out of my student life to graduating with first class honours in 2024 which I've always dreamt about. All in all, I'll definitely spread the word of studying at the University of Manchester to my friends and families back in Malaysia due to my amazing student experience in the UK!! :)

Life Learning Earth and Planetary Sciences

(5)·By Bethany A·Environmental Science· Jun 2023
As someone with a love for geography, physics and maths, this course is perfect. A mixture of several different academic skills, such as programming, chemistry, geography, optics etc give a well rounded experience and lots of opportunities to find something you enjoy. There are also plenty of trips, including residential ones. We are given the choice to specialise in year 2.

As for my overall university experience, Manchester offers a wide variety of societies and volunteering opportunities. There's also plenty of social areas, in both academic and non-academic settings. I especially enjoy living in the city halls, as I am very close to campus. There are also lots of bus services on Oxford Road (main campus area) for those who live further away, charging up to £2. I would highly recommend living and studying in Manchester.

Psychology / Criminology, Year 3

(5)·By Izzy B·Psychology· Jul 2021
Really good!! Was easy to meet people on haul group chats and the organised events were good - I know many people accidentally ordered “fake” wrist bands to the wrong events which was annoying as as a fresher you don't know what's legit uni club events and what's not A good variety! They have something to cater for all price ranges which I think is really important as a lot of students struggle for money And student finance. The cheaper hauls tend to be the most sociable anyways!! Really good, very modern but also still maintaining the traditional architecture of old buildings which is really cool as it offers both They kept us up to date with everything that's going on from general things to start the year to covid updates. We also have a student support officer who would relay useful information constantly, I liked how they would reach out to us so it didn't feel like I was emailing a stranger... sometimes it's hard to reach out for help so it's nice they take the first move Very busy which I liked coming from a small town!! Was always something going on, new pubs, bars and restaurants offering a range of things for all cultures and hobbies
