Manchester Metropolitan University Speciality : English Language & Literature
programme: English and Sociology

Overall my experience was mixed at MMU, I enjoyed aspects of the course however it wasn’t the best environment for learning I didn’t feel and only a small handful of tutors were helpful and when marking my final dissertation the seniors members of staff tried to mark my essay down by 10% which would’ve resulted in a failing grade however I appeal against this and got my original score reinstated. Overall I feel my experience with this University was a disappointing one, I had no additional help when I struggled with certain aspects of my dissertation so had to depend on friends to help guide me through it which I am very grateful for.

When I joined the Alumni again I thought I would be assisted with help to find suitable employment in relation to my degree but the after care has been very disappointing also. Just looking at overall rankings of Universities local ones such as Bolton, Salford etc are overtaking MMU and it’s no surprise. I wish I could say I had a very good experience with my time at MMU over fellow students on my course dropped out and it’s no surprise. I can’t say I did and £9000 tution a year was worth it.
