Manchester Metropolitan University

I am now nearing the end of second year of study at Manchester Metropolitan University, affectionately known as ManMet or MMU. My course is Consumer Marketing and I’m reading for a Degree. Initially I never wanted to go to university. All the way through high school I wanted to be a chef and chose to do NVQs relevant to this field instead of sitting A-Levels. So the time came when I left college with my NVQs and had to get a job. This I did. I worked hard for about a year and half until I was a walking zombie. My job had driven me down into the ground. I had a fantastic career set in ... more

I am currently studying at the Manchester Metropolitan University at the Hollings campus in Fallowfield studying Events Management. On the course elsewhere. I have enjoyed my first year at the Met, the let downs of the hollings campus is the lack of lifts in a seven floor building, the temperature always seems to be intensly hot or extremely cold, this is probably due to it being based in the toastrack building which is old and registered meaning not much can be done to it. The campus houses Hospitality, and Tourism Management Courses, Food Technology, and Fashion mainly, oddly there is also ... more

When the topic of which university we should attend came up at college, it crept up and took me completely by surprise. I knew I wanted to study a degree somewhere, but it was only when my then boyfriend starting applying left, right and centre for places that I realised I might need to put in a bit of groundwork. Being something of a genius, he applied to Cambridge and Oxford (where he was offered places), but as well as putting his brain to good use, he also wanted a bit of fun. Eventually he settled on Manchester University and, whilst I didn't want to do the English degree there, I found ... more

Last year I was on my Foundation Year at MMU I passed that and I'm now on a BSc Information Technology course. I live at home in Warrington and travel each day because it's only a 15 minute train journey. The University are always putting money in for improvements. A new law building that is also used for other courses has just been built and they've recently improved the computer facilities at the University to Pentium 4's with LCD monitors. The John Dalton Tower block is having £40 Million spent on it to modernise and extend it. At MMU just under 1000 courses are available for you to choose ... more

A lot of students will have finished their A-Levels and will have decided which university to go to if that is what they want. Manchester Met is a university that my sister attends and having visited their many time I can thoroughly recommend it. The entry grades are not as quite tough as Umist (University of Manchester) but the teaching standard is high. There are a lot of different courses you can chose from, and there is an excellent union with all the facilities, located near a bus station it is easily accessible. It is not for from the other university and has a lot of things for students ... more
