The University of Manchester (reviews)

I really enjoyed the content of the course and found the professors and tutors to be very warm and understanding. However, everyone found the quick switch to blended learning very difficult to adapt to which meant sometimes lectures weren’t as well prepared or engaging.

Really great lecturers – Giles Johnson, Rob Sansom, and Neil Mitchell stand out – the combined first year with Earth Sciences does cover slightly tedious subject matter if you are solely interested in Environmental Science. The professional skills unit is helpful but takes up too much time.

This degree was really interesting and broad, it’s not what I thought it would be. I’ve learned so many things about the industry and I’m looking forward to putting them into practice. The teachers are supportive and the university has great facilities for students to use and have access to. Furthermore, the career prospects from UoM are fantastic!

Campus life in Manchester was a great experience, I made a lot of new friends. The course I studied was also very informative and the tutors and lecturers were very helpful when needed. Lastly, the facilities were also of a solid standard.

The program overall is decent, but some lecturers are missed due to some issues, as well as some seminars. They have to improve the performance of the teachers and collaboration in general. Little support on the essays and projects, while the students are friendly and helpful to overcome the difficulties. Hope the next year will be full F2F, looking forward to it.

I learned a lot already, I can’t believe there are 3 and a bit more years of this. Electrical and Electronics Engineering at The University of Manchester is probably one of the best courses I could’ve chosen.

The classes are perfect, I loved the staff and the professors. I strongly suggest everyone applies! Since I came here I was accepted by the community, the place was perfect and the accommodation was better than expected.
Especially during lectures, we have plenty of space to study, so the facilities are amazing!

I am currently studying BSocSc Sociology at the University of Manchester and am a second-year undergraduate student. The modules cover a wide range of topics with only having between 2-3 mandatory modules each academic year, making the rest your own choice! I love this because you can really cater your studies to your own personal interests. I’m glad I chose Sociology at the University of Manchester as I compared the same course at a range of competing universities but found the modules at Manchester to have a much wider variety but they take a particular, progressive focus on social inequalities and how as sociologists we analyse these but further, strive for change. The Professors, Lecturers and tutors are top class and many have worldwide recognition and accreditation in their field, something I find makes this degree worthwhile as you’re being taught directly by renowned experts. The course and some modules in particular exceeded my expectations! If you’re someone that is interested in social justice, inequalities, and social change then this is the course for you! Not only is the course great but the social aspect at the University of Manchester matches this. There is always the chance to socialise and make new friends whether that is through your course, societies or student accommodation! Manchester is a great city with so much to do and see- you’ll never get bored at Manchester!

I think our business school is very nice with a new building which is very functional with lots of open spaces and facilities. The staff here is very friendly and can help you with problems such as forgetting your student id, etc.

The program is really interesting and the fact that most of the modules are optional allows you to tailor the modules you choose to what suits you best. The course is being taught in a blended way, this allows you to do the lectures in your own time and also allows for in person.
