Our collection of real, honest student reviews of unis and courses is the largest in the UK, and help you make well-informed decisions about your future. Student reviews also form the basis of our annual Whatuni Student Choice Awards(WUSCAs), which highlight great work carried out by institutions for their students.

Generally it’s rather good, however there’s always room for improvement. For me, the timetables for students aren’t always the most efficient, the food available to buy on campus isn’t the most affordable.
Again, there’s always room for improvement. Most importantly though the modules sometimes over lap with each other so we are being taught the same thing in multiple classes and they don’t even realise. This could easily be resolved if they communicated what they intend to include in their modules with each other.
I am studying on Fine art. I am really grateful to have a studio for work at my Uni, as well as the facilities of necessary equipment.
The best thing as I feel its research based and the worst thing I really dont find out.
The best has to be the student support offered by the school. Worst, not yet experienced
The lecturers are very helpful to students. Course hours are good.
I love the library!!!! It has became my safe zone
I enjoy my course and the support from everyone has been immensely positive.
It is well connected and great to be in (and around) Manchester. MediaCity is a beautiful campus and I always feel safe and looked after
The lecturers are friendly and always available for chats and help, there are opportunities for extra curricular across the whole course it is wonderful.
The facilities are good but it feels like many things (showers fridges, kettles, ovens ) are cheap and ill maintained for near enough 150 a week
The support that's in place for students is second to none, and the events that are hosted by the universities student union are vast and entertaining. I have rated the facilities as a 3 out of 5 because the parking is not adequate for the amount of students that commute onto campus, it isn't possible for myself to get public transport in, so parking is my only option. A reason I haven't scored the Students' Union as a 5 is because of the sole destroying que which the students form in front of the bar and which the bar staff encourage, there has been multiple times where myself and friends have tried to break this tradition and form a relaxed arch around the bar by standing around it like you would anywhere else and the bar staff have said "there's a que", hence we have stopped using the Students' Union at busy times.
The course content seems poor, we have repeated the same module again and again with a different title. The placement opportunities have been really great though.
Great place to study for international students as its away from most of the shenanigans. You can get a free bus to media city as well where you can see lots of great buildings there and the water body.
Great facilities to support you during your stay. Teachers are friendly and always ready to help students.
University provides great access to the facilities, giving students a chance to grow.
Lecturers deliver lessons with great passion, it's a blessing to see them in class. Online delivered materials are often uploaded in the wrong way, which makes them faulty working
The university is welcoming for students and they will try to understand the student situations when they are trouble for paying fees. The university can improve conducting some meetings between senior and junior students for helping their assignments, Because I haven't seen my seniors yet.
The course hours and timing are quiet good. But it is hard to meet lectures.
Overall amazing uni, honestly when I was accepted I was so nervous cause Ibe always wanted to go to Manchester uni but omg as soon as the course started the building everything AMAZING!!! The lecturers actually put a lot of effort into the lesson plan. All the equipment for the labs are up to date and really cool... The support system is awesome, they are so helpful and understanding, I don't think I'll be able to get better support anywhere else. Honestly speaking there's nothing bad to say about this place.. One thing that I would liek to say is that for Muslim girls and stuff they should have more events and gatherings but other than everything's great. My experience at Salford has been wonderful and am really excited to study further here.. Do not regret my decision one bit. It literally is outstanding!!!
The course itself is really easy and very interesting, couldn't be more happier.. The lecturers are very helpful and reply fairly quick
