As a first year student, I was anxious to move countries and just fit in into a completely different culture. The University of Manchester made it all so easy, with their constant events as well as initiatives for first years. The anxiety vanished as I lived here, found my friends, had more understanding of my course. Three years later now I feel like I am pretty confident with where I am in life, still enjoying every day of university.

The University of Manchester, a research intensive University, offers a vast array of choice to students. While of course within every subject there are mandatory modules, the University of Manchester offer students a high degree of choice within their chosen academic field, allowing students to specialise within their specific interests and receive optimum enjoyment from their studies.
As a literature student, I have a particular interest in post-colonial and modernist texts, and I was thus able to choose modules to pursue this. The University of Manchester stands out as it places the choice back in students hands.
On top of this, the University of Manchester offers interdisciplinary units through the interdisciplinary college of learning, this allows students to broaden their interests and pursuit academic interests beyond their chosen field.
This level of choice supports students to fulfil all their academic desires.
