Manchester Metropolitan University is an institution that allows for the academic and the practical learner to combine. The opportunities made available through the staff, through the facilities, through the network and the courses is something that I found to be the highlight of my masters education. They sold me my post graduate experience with the promises of a fantastic network, as well as an opportunity to develop practical experience within my desired industry and they delivered. The tutors communicated with me well aand were always supportive throughout my year. They were always ready to offer guidance and extra tasks outside of their teaching time to help me consistently improve my skills.
