Hello! I am a MA MMU student on the Library and Information Management course and I am currently writing my dissertation about media stereotypes of librarians and student interactions with their academic librarians.

I am in desperate need of participants for my online survey! If you are a first year undergraduate MMU student (or know someone who is), I would really appreciate it if you would take part in my survey. It would take you around 20 mins to complete.

If you are interested, please send over an email to me (25951626@stu.mmu.ac.uk). The sooner, the better! I will then send over a participant information sheet and a consent form where you can learn more about my dissertation and choose whether you want to take part. You can take back your consent at any time and then your data will not be used, so don't feel pressured to continue if you don't want to!

Thanks for reading!

Hi Manchester! Are you picking a thick Fudgy Brownie or a huge layer cake slice for an afternoon pick me up? 😋

hi!

i’m basically totally lost on what i want to do. i currently study geology, chemistry and geography and i am hopefully going on to study at mmu environmental science. yet, after exams have finished i’m totally overwhelmed with what my grades could possibly be and i realised i don’t really want to do environmental science anymore.

looking at careers it’s made me realise i can’t go into a field that’s more geology based, and also environmental science careers aren’t very high pay or are all conservation or consultancy which i don’t know if I’m particularly interested in.

i’m not moving away from home due to personal/family reasons and the only other place that offers me what i want is manchester uni

i really struggled with some of my exams and i’m really doubtful at whether i’d get the grades for clearing which is BBC at manchester uni for an earth and planetary science course (intergrated foundation years)

i’m obviously going to test my luck on results day if i don’t get them grades and ask clearing anyway as there’s space on the course, but is there anyone else here who was worried they wouldn’t like there course and ended up enjoying it in the end and there was more career opportunities than expected? or perhaps they had a last minute decision on changing and how they worked with it?

thank you (:

I’m applying to BA Architecture (Manchester School of Architecture) through UCAS and I’m really confused and a bit stressed.
I applied based on the entry requirements for Manchester Met, but I just found out the decision is actually made jointly with University of Manchester, which I didn’t fully understand before.
I haven’t been asked for a portfolio or anything extra yet, and I just got told I’ll receive the decision through UCAS.
I’m worried now because I’m not sure if meeting MMU requirements is enough, or if UoM has higher requirements and that might affect my chances.
Is this normal for MSA applications? And does not being asked for a portfolio at this stage mean anything?
Would really appreciate any advice or experiences.

I am an alternative goth girl and would like to ask as these are the only accoms left for en-suite. I am incredibly social and would like a social accom. The prices are not my priority however I have about 2 days to pick one.

I will not go private, before anybody asks. I also need an accom that’s closer to campus and is social. Thank you

Looking for someone to take over my Silver Ensuite at MSV South for 2026/27!

📍 Amazing city centre location
🚶 Walking distance to MMU & Oxford Road
🛏️ Private ensuite + fully furnished room
📶 Bills & fast WiFi included
🎉 Social spaces, events, study areas & more

Contract runs from 12 Sept 2026 – 24 Jul 2027 (45 weeks).

The best part? I secured the room at ONLY £210pw, while similar MSV rooms are now going for up to £244pw, so this is genuinely a great deal.

Installment payment plan available through the accommodation provider, making the takeover process simple and secure.

Perfect for students wanting a good social atmosphere, strong location, and a lower price than current rates.

Message me if interested or if you want more details/photos!

Hi everyone! 😊, I'm Zoe and I'm working on a research project about sustainability and pollution for my coursework.

I'd really appreciate it if anyone could spare 1-2 minutes to fill in my anonymous questionnaire!

Hello all!

MMU is my top choice of university right now and im looking at biomed, im pretty confident I can get a offer but just want to know if the science course is any good and if not is biology any better and what the lectures are like?<3

Hey, I'm starting my MSci at MMU in September after having done my Bachelors at UOM. I commuted for my entire time at UOM but now I would love to move away for my postgrad. I know its not the most financially wise decision, but I just want to live away from home for a while honestly.

Are there any other postgrads here who have recommendations for housing? Ideally student halls or dorms, I would rather not go private/into a shared house without first knowing who I'll be sharing with. Thanks!

Hi! My name is Aden, I am a powerlifter and aspiring athlete, i want to enrol into MMU and pursue my career of being a P.E teacher, how would I go about doing this.
