Student review [#14384] for Criminology
at The University of Manchester

The subject I am studying is in itself very engaging, yet most of the assessments we receive enhance it. From court reports, that you are meant to build on a trial you observed in court, to designing your research proposal on a subject of interest or coming up with your own policy briefing, you are asked and encouraged to critically engage with what you have learned and put it into practice. Moreover, you get to be taught by experts in the field and academics, which are otherwise very willing to help you and give valuable feedback. The are plenty of volunteering opportunities, societies, and other valuable experiences that you can engage in to make the most of your time at the University, such as peer mentoring. There are also great services put in place in order to help you with any type of problems or simply to assist you with advice such as the Teaching and Learning Student Experience Office, the Career Service, the Counselling Service and so on. The halls provided by the university are an amazing place to get to meet people from all over the world, although their taste in terms of design is mostly modest. With the right people around you, this place will make you feel like home, yet regardless of anything, it will indeed help you develop new skills and improve existing ones in order to grow.
