MMU Manchester Metropolitan University in general

I started here in September 2006 and I have just graduated with a 2.1 in BA (Hons) Childhood Studies (2009). I was based at the cheshire campus, which consists of crewe and alsager. If you have been to the didsbury campus in manchester then I would say it is on this size scale, it is only small. I only live 15minutes away from the crewe campus so I stayed living at home. My friends who stayed at Halls, said it was OK, there is a new building and an old building with different prices for each as they consist of different things, such as different bathroom facilites etc. Nightlife in crewe and alsager is limited to say the least, with 1 night being planned to Hanley, ...  Read the complete review

BA Hons Philosophy at MMU City Centre Campus, Geoffrey Manton building I finished my year one of this course in June, and I wont be going back. Here's why. STARTING Upon starting the year, the very first thing I noticed about the University was the lack of administrative organisation. Granted, the first day of any term is likely to be confusing, but this was ridiculous. The staff seemed uninterested in dealing with students on any level, and information about what to do about enrolling, getting student cards etc. was extremely hard to come by. I hoped that once freshers week had settled down things would become easier, however ...  Read the complete review

I am almost at the end of my first year at Manchester Metropolitan University. I am reading History of Film and Media and I must say not only is the course very interesting but Manchester is the second coolest city in England after London. The teaching staff are helpful, friendly and actually very laidback dudes (The head of the department David Huxley wears a leather biker jacket-cool or what?). I like the Met because everything is just so chilled. Manchester Met has the largest student quota in Europe, something like 30,000 people study here. I found university life both daunting and terrifying in equal measure but after eight months the Manchester ...  Read the complete review

I have decided to re-write this op as a service to the nation, or to prospective students at least. As a bit of a disclaimer, I was only there for a year (I could stand no more) and I studied at a silly rural campus with no facilities, so this review will be unashamedly biased, and I apologise in advance to loving alumni. But tough. MMU – THE FACTS Location: Manchester (5 campuses) and Cheshire (2 campuses) Students: 30,000 Courses: Over 400 covering most subject areas Times league table position: 71 of 97 MMU – MY EXPERIENCE Campus: Alsager Hall: Woodiwiss South Course: Contemporary Arts (Visual Arts ...  Read the complete review

I studied both BA (Hons) Public Policy & Administration and BA (Hons) Humanities & Social Studies at this university. A lot of the university campus' are new, and looking pretty groovy with it! I was at Geoffrey Manton building which is new and has a good cafe in it, which is quite reasonable. MMU has recently done up their All Saints library and the front looks really good - I've heard glowing reports about the inside too! The reputation of MMU is getting better, although it is still snubbed a bit by Manchester Uni students. Still, they're getting the grades and most graduates go on into good jobs at the end of it all. As for the courses, ...  Read the complete review
