The University of Manchester

The diversity in Manchester University is something very special. There’s always something going on and something to do. Everyone is super helpful and so smiley. The campus isn’t beautiful and the weather... well it’s manchester. But if you put that aside, as a medical student at Manchester- I would say it’s an amazing experience.

The campus at University of Manchester is very well kept and very modern. Modifications to the campus are currently under construction as well, improving the facilities even further. The Students' Union is also currently undergoing a refurbishment, and now has many new places to eat. The Students' Union does need more activities, however. I know some Universities have their SU at the centre of nightlife, but this is not the case with our SU. Maybe some more restaurants and cafes as well as bars would be great. The careers service in my school is excellent, however I cannot speak for anything outside of the Faculty of Medicine and Life Sciences. The organisation of my usual course (medicine) is appalling, however, as is Neuroscience, which is my intercalated BSc this year. The medical course is way too large (the biggest medical school in the country) and therefore resources are spread way too thin. The library is very big and has a huge range of books, the staff and services there are all excellent. The only problem is a lack of seating - it can be difficult to get a seat during exam period.

A large student population, meaning lots of societies to choose from. Large class size is kind of annoying, but most professors make time for the students, I feel like. I like that campus is near the city centre. I have not had any luck with the careers service, but we have so many alumni, hopefully job search will be ok.

The campus is great as everything is in close proximity. It has a really nice student vibe around on campus and it's great to see this buzz of students around our Oxford road. The facilities are exceptional, we get to use state of the art technologies in physiology and the use of the cadavers really aids learning for dental and medical students like myself. The students union is a great place to go for lunch and is usually the meet up for many socials too. It's a great service for any external support too. The course is relatively well organised and structured and the early clickable expsoure allows students to gain a lot of patient experience and hone in on their clinical skills. The library and learning commons facilities is brilliant at Manchester as it is a great place to study on your own for but also for group study too especially with the small group study rooms too.

Excellent teaching quality, poorly run. Universities are institutions of education, not money making businesses.

I think that the buildings lecture halls are not at its finest. Support for students are average in terms of learning materials and the quality of teaching is average also.

Manchester loves it's students and you can tell. Wifi access is available almost everywhere on campus for free. The careers service has won awards for how good it is and is clearly one of the best in the country. The resources available for a UoM student to broaden their horizons are amazing. In terms of clubs/societies, we have over 400 so there is bound to be something for everyone. If there isn't, you can start your own! Manchester is the university of opportunity which cannot be missed.

The student union is a bit overpriced. Campus is nice. Some of the accommodations could do with being updated.

The student union is the downfall of manchester, as it is a city campus it competes with all the other clubs, but for that reason it should be much cheaper to drink in there. Instead it costs more than other clubs? ridiculous and very unfair on students.

All the benefits of London without the price tag. Excellent teaching staff and facilities.the campus is quite close together which is useful, and still feels in the city.

Amazing beautiful buildings, everything feels like it’s steeped in history. The best bit, though, is the staff. They were experts in their fields and so passionate about the profession (Education). I was so sad when the course ended !

It's a fine institution- very inclusive and one of the best places for ongoing scientific research and fostering future academics. The facilities are amazing for student's across all fields, with a genuine force towards propelling careers after studies. The Career's service in particular is multidisciplinary, full of relevant resources and caters to students to set up a relevant career path and understand how to achieve milestones. It's also incredibly conscious and welcoming to international students from across the globe, featuring an award winning team of student ambassadors welcoming everyone.

I study Chemistry at the University of Manchester and it’s great! Great facilities & lecturers. Not the best looking building but overall a great Uni to be at!
