Manchester Metropolitan University Speciality : Management
programme: Event Management

Manchester Metropolitan has outstanding opportunities in literally every field you could want. As a first-year Events management student, the opportunities so far have been amazing. Visiting football stadiums, networking conferences and so many more extracurricular activities are available as well as paid volunteering schemes in many different fields like festivals, business conferences and so much more.
Would recommend it to anyone wanting to develop their CV and life experiences!

Great University, students and staff, cool and relaxed atmosphere! Fully recommended.
Open space to learn!
Clean canteen, office / learning space.
Laid back atmosphere, accessible via public transport.

The teachers and classes were always interesting and meaningful to the overall degree. There was lots of hands-on experience of managing events such as the annual firework display on bonfire night and the city Christmas carol concert which the class helped organise and then worked at as volunteers.

MMU was a very friendly university and student life was always fun. There were lots of clubs to join and social events that included anyone who wanted to join.

There are lots of career paths available in events management but I do feel the university needs to work harder in promoting this to prospective employers, as maybe industries see Events Management as a “party degree” when in fact there are lots of laws and legislation needed to plan events on a large scale.

Overall I would recommend MMU.

I studied events management.
My professors were nice. I found my lectures interesting and when they weren’t, they were at least interactive to stop you from losing focus. There was a lot of preparation for life after university which was really helpful.
The facilities weren’t bad. The gyms were very busy but they had everything you need. There were lots of sports halls that you could rent and there were plenty of footy pitches that you could book.
The accommodation was great. The staff that worked there were very friendly and would come to repair quickly when there was a problem with my room. There was a hole in the wall of our kitchen one day. After the problem was reported, the maintenance staff repaired it the next day, and the problem was quickly resolved. Super efficiency and enthusiastic service, especially at this bargain price, it is hard not to give a five-star.
Ultimately I had a great time and met a mint bunch of lads.
