Manchester Metropolitan University

...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 ...
...reason that I lived in Manchester anyway and couldn’t really afford to leave and have to set up home somewhere else. The two other universities in Manchester, Victoria and UMIST, both require a high standard of secondary education i.e. high graded A-Levels which I did not have. MMU however looked at my work history and achievements and made me an unconditional offer on the Consumer Marketing course. ManMet has a number of campuses, not all ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

...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 ...
...societies and clubs based in Manchester such as "Extreme Frisbee" and "Horse Riding" there is also the infamous "Rock Society" going to sold out gigs and rock venues all over the country, often frequenting Nottingham Rock City. Being based in Fallowfield is really good as you have access to Manchester's "Student Ghetto" housing places like Glass, Revolution and The Orange grove boasting all food under £2.50 students only! You may well be finding ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

...fun. Eventually he settled on Manchester University and, whilst I didn't want to do the English degree there, I found that I did want to do the course offered at Manchester Metropolitan University, which was very nearby. I also thought the people there would be a bit more fun. There's a time for work, but there's also a time for play and I was afraid I'd be surrounded by horrifically intelligent people and seem a bit dense in comparison! I'll admit ...
...I liked the idea of Manchester because it was close enough to where my parents lived if I ever wanted to go home and far enough away so I could gain some well needed independence and experience. I learned a great deal whilst I was studying (both in terms of education and life!) and met some fabulous people including my fiance, so it was obviously a good choice for me! Nearly all of my university friends have stayed in the city and have bought houses ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

...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 ...
...you can take advantage of Manchester itself. It has a good range of shops, bars and clubs. With it being located near the Arndale you can search for a part time job and be successful in getting one. There are loads of restaurants and different cultures for you to find out more about. It has great building and Followfield is a student village, where you can get to know loads of people. It’s so easy to make new friends and your years at the University ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

...evening. I went to Manchester University and although the Union was ok, it was a bit grotty, especially in the Cellar. I started going to the Met Union as I had a friend there, and it is great. There are two main bars, and on 'club' nights it has the advantgae that you can use both. Top Bar becomes a sort of night club where you can but chips and cheap drinks, while the other remains a normal bar and can be used as a 'chill out' zone. The music ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

Um - so ive been to the union and it is truly ace - as are the eateries that surround it:) I do go to the met- it really is a top place to study. My course is an arts one and they really have a good library and academic staff. The campus is also quite well arranged in the town centre.... and not too far from the train station. The main building has just had a bit of a revamp.. and ;looks pretty funky. But the institution is pretty well setup to ...
...first year the staff were comitted to making sure every student was ok and offering help wherever. This continues throughout the course. There is a good union jobshop, the met also has its own agency which if you register there without the jobshop you get paid more and there are loads of ways to earn through the year showing visitors around. The union shop has a good supply of art materials and other things. ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

The Crewe institute of education is in my opinion excellent, but I feel that one has to be extremely ruthless when choosing your course at it can often save you a huge amount of money. for example: A four year course in primary education ICT would cost you 4 years of maintenace loan plus four years of tuition fees. Alternativley you could profit from your university experience by taking a two year course in secondary Business and ICT education, ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

Being a fresher, at a Manchester Met can be a very dauting experience, but my experience was totally different. I found myself going to all the wrong lectures, the staff are sooo committed here, its unbelivable! Manchester Met has a lot to offer students, the adcademic side of the university is excellent and also the social side is excellent to. The students union is the place to be, with drinks at a reasonable price, the entertainment is also of ...
...has many campuses situated around Manchester which are easy to reach. Manchester Met is the biggest university in manchester and is the BIGGEST business school in the country! so you can see why MANCHESTER METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY IS THE BEST! I would recommend this university to anyone, th epeople are soo friendly and so are the staff! ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

...go to part of the manchester metropolitan university in Alsager. Its such a nice place to live, great scenery. Its in the middle of no where, but the student union organises nights out into the closest town for clubbing. Which if you go with the right people you can have the best night ever. As I have said, the food in the canteen isn't exactly the best, but there is better variety than most places. The halls of residence are very practical and quite ...
...and more or less all sports have teams depending on interest. There is a gym and swimming pool on site and a huge car park for students with cars. The campus is nicely set out so it doesnt take to long to find your way around. Its quite nice weather here for England, and because the place is so small you get to know everyone on campus. This uni is part of crewe university and so for students that have lessons in crewe there is an inter site bus that ...

Review of Manchester Metropolitan University

...unfortunate reality of studying in Manchester that everyone you meet whether they be employers, new friends etc, when you tell them of your studies they assume you were at Manchester Uni not anywhere else. The usual response I have come across is "oh", then a glance which suggests maybe you are simply not clever enough for the "better" uni. This is especially the case with people from Manchester Uni itself, my flatmates (all from there) are such ...
...tranfer to Manchester (this is what I did, I went straight into the 2nd from another Uni.) the deal is that MMU will let you transfer, if your grades are good enough. However, Manchester Uni do not, they accept you but you have to start again from 1st yr. ...

Manchester Metropolitan is the biggest university in Manchester. It has campus' in the town centre such as Aytown and John Dalton, a campus in Didsbury(5 miles out of the centre) and it also has a campus in Crewe(40 miles out of Manchester). If you go to this university make sure you go to the Campus' that are in the town centre as they have all the facilities that you need but the others should be avoided if possible. This university is not as good ...
