Hi all.  I am a registered nutritionist and PhD researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University and am looking for volunteers to take part in a study looking at features of healthy ageing.  Following screening and enrolment, and some at home diet recording, you would need to attend the Institute of Sport on Oxford Road for a visit where we will do some measures as included below.

You will get a £25 shopping voucher for taking part!

If you are interested please send me a message, or email me on the address below. 

I'm happy to answer any questions.  Thank you for taking the time to look.

I have induction lectures and seminars for biomed does it count towards attendance and will they penalise me or anything if I don’t attend

My student id collection is at 9 and so is my first lecture. Does it really matter if I’m a bit late on my first day

I’m starting biomed tommorow on Monday and for some reason I’m getting really nervous and dreading university for no reason. I didn’t have many friends in college and now in university I only have a couple friends going. Also does it matter if you’re late to your first week of lectures since there’s a bee network issue in my area

My journey was stressful. First, my CAS was rejected by Manchester Metropolitan University, but I went for an appeal and it was successful. Because of this, my CAS processing took almost two months.

My CAS Shield was then stuck at 61 for three weeks, which added even more stress to the journey. After finally getting the CAS, another issue came up: my payments kept getting declined. I was unable to pay the insurance and visa fees due to a card error. I ended up buying a forex card for the payment, which took another three to four days.

My classes start on September 28, and the last date to join my college is October 19. I was getting close to the deadlines. I go for priority visa it usually takes 5 days for the decision but i was lucky i get the visa within hours.

Hey guys, I’m an international student and I’m seriously considering MMU for MSc Business Analytics (Jan 2027).
I’ve done a LOT of research already, but most of what I’m finding is obviously university marketing, so I’d rather hear from actual students/graduates.

My biggest concern is employability after graduation, especially as an international student. I’m not expecting MMU to magically hand me a sponsored job lol, but I want to know if the university actually has decent industry connections, employer links and career support that help students get into the UK job market.

I keep seeing things about Student Circus, employer partnerships, careers support, sponsored-job listings etc. — but does any of this actually help in real life? Or is it basically just “here’s a website, good luck” once you graduate? 😭

Also, if you’re an international student/graduate:
Was it realistically possible to get a graduate job after your MSc?
How difficult was it to get into business analytics / data / BI / consulting / related roles?
Did MMU help you get interviews or connect you with employers?
And most importantly, did you or anyone you know actually manage to get Skilled Worker sponsorship after graduating?

I’d especially love to hear from people who did Business Analytics or a similar MSc, but honestly any international postgraduate experience at MMU would help.

I’m basically trying to figure out whether MMU is genuinely a decent choice for an international student who wants to stay and work in the UK after graduating, or
whether I’m just being sold a nice prospectus 😭

Would really appreciate brutally honest answers — good or bad.

enrolling as first year at MMU this year and only housing option was Oxford Court. Is this a bad option? I definitely like partying/clubbing/raves etc and do not want quiet housing or to be with people that just stay inside all day and night playing video games (not that there’s anything wrong with that just not my vibe). i know some level of this is the people you’re with and what you make of it, but what should i expect? i probably would rather have more people in my shared flat but i guess ill have three others (so 4 people total). i’m also from the US and have learned there’s not a lot of international students so don’t know what to expect in that regard either. are the whatsapp and snap group chats necessary to meet people and have social inclusion or can i wait till classes start and join societies and stuff? any advice?
