What students say about The University of Manchester

- It also included an element of a field trip to Cape Town that made things very easy to understand in their application.
- I had to go through an interview process, as well as complete an assignment for this internship.
- If your grades are good, then youll get the placement, as all companies are open to students from diverse backgrounds.
- The campus is beautiful, filled with enough activities and student organizations for everyone to participate in.
- Yes, I lived in Fallowfield during my first year, and the experience has been great.
- The student-to-teacher ratio is quite good, and the faculty is easily approachable, both on and off campus.
- My program, when I entered, was in the top 5 in the world and was the best choice for me when I considered tuition fees, employment statistics (post-graduation), the program structure, and support available for the students.

I accepted the offer because the university is one of the top universities in the world in terms of ranking. Manchester as a city is also a whole different world. One can learn many things in the city and would never get bored as well.

I chose UoM because of its standing and ranking globally. Apart from that, I also considered the course structure and options given to make the course fit my personal goals better.
Likes:
- Except for the academic standard that sometimes becomes a challenging aspect of the academic journey for international students like me, I like everything else about my university. null
The first and foremost thing is the university's reputation and research opportunities. Then comes the experience and expertise of the faculties, the international standard of facilities and the friendly and welcoming gestures of the university staff.
Likes:
- Diverse, always something happening, very politically aware students, strong adherence to timelines. Very helpful lecturers. Challenging academics but not too tough and well managed courses .
Dislikes:
- Classmates aren't super sociable and mostly keep to themselves. Profs, while approachable, can sometimes not reply to emails for weeks/months. Strong emphasis on self-study and not as much guided study. null
I chose this university as it is amongst top 30 in QS World Rankings. I received a partial scholarship from this University that helped pay off some of the costs. I chose MSc EPSE because it was a natural continuation of my previous job. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. I would genuinely recommend those who want to pursue this course as it's very technical and well-taught. A diverse group of students allows, in certain group activities, a very comprehensive set of ideas to work with.
Likes:
- The university is very inclusive and accommodating. There is no extra pressure to do everything, everyone can learn at their own pace and get the support they need to complete each module. null
- The infrastructure and campus vibe is really good if you stay on campus—lots of activities to participate in without any commitment. null
Dislikes:
- My curriculum in particular could have been better. null
- Less networking events and placement talks. null
I chose this university because of following factors: - The campus was in a city which was a major factor when compared to Warwick which is a college town. Cities are easier to live in and more comfortable. - As compared to Imperial which has a good reputation, this was a cheaper and more comfortable place than the hustle and bustle of London. - You get to experience and interact with other courses which is kind of an advantage as you need that change sometimes. - The college holds a good ranking and the fee is less compared to other universities. The best part is all International students are guaranteed student accommodation by the university which is a relief.
Likes:
- The university is very, very welcoming to international students. They have all the relevant facilities available to make an international student feel at home. null
- Manchester as a city is very friendly to Indians (or people of South Asian origin), so you don't feel out of place there. null
- There are several extracurricular activities and groups you can join - some even get you college credits. null
- The university gives the option to audit courses from different streams and fields - no judgments or prior requirements there. null
Dislikes:
- For courses in social sciences in particular, there is low placement opportunity. Students must find career opportunities themselves, although many companies keep coming in general to the university on open days. null
I chose this particular program for the excellent faculty and their research. I chose the university because it gave a unified university feeling, and not independent colleges/buildings (like we mostly see in London). Overall experience - 10/10. Good faculty, good staff, a very nice city, very nice university building.
Likes:
- Beautiful Infrastructure .
- Highly specialized staff and industry-class equipments .
- Bloomberg Terminals and extensive library dating back to the 1800s .
- Great nightlife and incredible support for international students .
Dislikes:
- Can be expensive to live (depending on location) .
- Can be daunting for those who have never lived alone .
- More focused on self-study as compared to the Indian schooling system; great lecturers nevertheless. null
- No companies come to campus so if you need hand-holding to find a job, going abroad might not be for you if your sole reason for going is finding a job .
It is one of the top Russell Group universities so choosing Manchester over other cities was a no-brainer. My overall experience has been incredibly fulfilling and would recommend the university.
