Student review [#48233] for Forensic Psychology
at Manchester Metropolitan University

I chose to continue my university career at Manchester Metropolitan University, following my BSC there. I already knew that the University was a great university filled with staff and tutors that would help me get to where I wanted to be, but it was really in my master’s course that I saw how great Manchester is. Manchester Metropolitan University gave me the resources, knowledge, and support needed to excel in my field. Manchester is a city that has a lot of culture and excellent nightlife, which I didn’t really get to explore in my undergraduate career but was one of the things that was the highlight of my master’s degree. The location of the university was ideal, and I felt like I was at the center of everything. I really enjoyed my master’s degree, and I loved the topic, and I was also really good at it. I found the experience of being a postgraduate student at Manchester Metropolitan University to be incredibly rewarding. I really like the way that they structured their course, and I was glad that there were no exams. This did mean the coursework was delayed more than normal. I guess, but at the end of the day, if you did well on the coursework, you got a good grade overall. With no exams, the coursework had to be of the highest quality in order to get a good grade, which was something that I found incredibly beneficial. I really didn’t like the fact that I had to do a presentation as part of my dissertation, but that’s because I really struggle with presenting and public speaking, but overall I still got an okay grade. Even though I was initially apprehensive about the prospect of having to give a presentation, the support from my friends and mentors, coupled with the passion I had for my dissertation topic, helped me overcome my anxieties. I really loved the topic, and then I found myself really coming out of my shell during this time. I also made some really great friends that I will hold onto for the rest of my life. Nevertheless, I was able to make the most of this experience and find it immensely rewarding.
