Manchester University (reviews)

Manchester university is brilliant, not only does it flourish academically, it is cheap to live in, and great for gigs/ nightlife and shopping. You can get to green space easily too. The libraries are good and other facilities are nearby like the commonwealth swimming pool.

The university has a very conducive learning environment with state-of-the-art lecture rooms. The university has received an award on the best acedemic excellence performance for more than 3 academic years

Overall, I would rate my programme at the University of Manchester positively from a medical training perspective. The learning environment is academically strong and structured in a way that supports clinical reasoning and evidence based practice.

What stood out most was the quality of teaching and the exposure to a wide range of clinical cases through both academic sessions and placements. The faculty are generally experienced and supportive, and there is a strong emphasis on developing both theoretical knowledge and practical clinical skills.

The university also provides access to good learning resources, simulation facilities, and opportunities for research, which are valuable for medical professional development. Being in a large teaching hospital environment helps with exposure to real world clinical practice.

On the downside, the workload can be quite intense and the pace of learning demanding, which may require strong time management and resilience. At times, administrative communication could also be improved.

Overall, I would recommend the University of Manchester for medical students seeking a rigorous and clinically relevant training programme in a diverse and well resourced academic setting.

This university is great, the lectures go out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and when you first join, there are so many activities and events to take part in for opportunities to make more friends, and it’s just a great way to grow as a person!
