The University of Manchester
speciality: Civil & Structural Engineering

Every university is different, every course is different, what Manchester does is to choose a course you are likely to enjoy. Making improvements with student feedback every year, and the huge investment is making in the engineering department, continues to improve the standards. Manchester doesn’t settle to be one of the top universities, it aspires to be the best.

Professors can be better. New engineering campus is under construction, which is awesome!

Manchester as a city played a big role in my decision to attend the university. Student life is great.

Just like most if not all UK universities, there is minimal autonomy when it comes to module/class timings selection. The studying experience overall can definitely be enhanced.

The program overall focuses on the practical aspects which shall be applicable in the industry. Someone might think that it must be limited to designing structures, buildings and bridges. Although, I discovered that they covered a lot of aspects that can be essential in modelling, research or data analysis, using various devices. The course provided accreditation from various well-known bodies as well. Overall, for someone interested in such a field and willing to explore it further, It is a great course.

The campus has a new building that provides great amenities and will be fully functional from the 2022 intake, providing amazing experimental potential for research or experiments.
Although I feel that the fee structure especially for international students is a bit high and might force people to think twice before actually opting for the course.

The program is well-structured, with a thoughtfully designed curriculum that balances theoretical understanding and practical application. The university provides excellent learning resources and guidance, allowing us to gain a strong foundation in core project management principles such as planning, risk assessment, scheduling, and stakeholder communication. What I appreciated most was the hands-on approach, we got to work on real-life projects both individually and in groups, which helped us apply classroom concepts to real-world situations and develop valuable teamwork and leadership skills. The assessments encouraged collaboration and critical thinking, preparing us for the challenges of managing projects in professional environments. Overall, it has been a truly rewarding journey in every way.

A good uni although I feel as a student not enough resources / time is provided to each student, which is understandable from such a big uni but also could still be improved on, tint changes can make a large difference.
