Manchester Metropolitan University

The sad thing about this is that all the three reviews which have responded to the kammy12345) Manchester Metropolitan University is the worst place for an educations.
Are all one after another, even the time of the reviews are closes together, and days, seems either there are some MMU fans (not really) or MMU Social Media PR Team are observing the internet forums to ensure there are no bad comments about them. As kammy12345 says. LMAO how ironic. Haha, so desperate to maintain a «good reputation». When they are clearly not. Burger Flipping University.
Manchester McDegree University. Standards are so low that people from Mcdonald can get a degree from here. Lmfao
It must have taken a student quite something to write out of frustration about the poor, failing, desperate organisation, which is so obsessed to become and maintain the status of a university and as we all know that Manchester Metropolitan University has a bad reputation on poor academic standards and teaching. There is nothing to hide or cover up. MMU is not in the same league as University of Manchester and other well established university.
The reasons that MMU has a lot of courses and high student population is because of the vibrant city which Manchester is. For example, Salford University which is in the Greater Manchester area has a problem with attracting students just because of the location and the social economic deprivation of Salford.
The area is so depressing and miserable anyone who goes there will tell you this. I have been to open days, seriously it a depressing. Council Estate tower blocks nearby. Compare this to Manchester Oxford Road, hive of activity, busies bus route in Europe. Massive student population and constant development in the area for example roads, transport even anew Holland style bus route. Full of students and materialist lifestyle, has everything, shops, bars, restaurant and lots of social stuff including my favourite football team (not telling you which one). Also, its more easier to get a PART-​TIME JOB. AN ESSENTAIL TO STUDENT LIFE.
MMU only became a university in 1992, after begging the Privy Council for university status. During this process salaries and fees were rising and students lost out. The whole model changed, from a typical college style (table and chairs) higher education provider, to a failing formal university style, Lecturing, Lecture theatres, no contact or interaction, engagement, to many rules e.g. academic board etc, one way traffic, lecture boring students to death, backward model of education.
A place where these egoistic humans who are obsessed with having LECTURER STATUS under their name. Unashamed, arrogant towards students. I have experience it at MMU. Lecturers, talking down at you. As if they are doing a social favour to the students by giving them an education, so they can get out of poverty!!! Middle Class Snobs. I have seen experience it.
All three response on the threads demonstrate with the quality of writing that it’s not from a student, more likely to be from MMU Social Media PR team. WE ARE STUDENT NOT STUPID! Unlike MMU, better look next time when you try to act like students and respond to forums where student are speaking their mind. You can’t supress students and repudiate everything. Learn to accept criticism. OR BE A SO LOSER AND SPIT YOUR DUMMY OUT (BY CONTACTING THE PROVIDER OF SOCIAL MEDIA TO MOVE IT) AND DENY EVERYTHING. Try providing a quality service. It’s simple or improve the teaching and the service to students.
Here are some links on MMU in the press

Mixed news on university dropouts

mmu = mickey mouse university
the happiest place on earth!
This area includes All Saints, The New Business School, Hollings Faculty, Mabel Tylecote, School of Art and Geoffrey Manton to name a few. On the other side of Oxford road are delicious cheap takeouts and easy-​going cheap pubs. Lovely place to go for a pint when you have had enough of seminars and lectures.

Manchester Metropolitan University is the worst place for an educations, staff here are really poor, they can’t speak English, communicate, teach properly and basically found the education system a sanctuary for incompetence. Staffs here are work shy they want to come into work and do the minimum amount of work as possible, they have design the teaching so they can do the least amount of work.
Staff will give a list of instructions such Nicola Greeves on piece of paper and sod you of the won’t explain it to you do this, they don’t teach you anything, the whole work design so that she do the least amount of teaching everything was on a paper and she did the minimum of teaching, she would ignore students, and put a negative exterior around them so people won’t approach her she fail anticipate where she left of and take them on the journey. she would ignore student and talk in her own world and fail to give a professional level of service.
They will stand there, spit words out of their mouth and expect you to know it. Teaching staff are rude, shout, talk down at you, they think that its like school where students can be treated like rubbish. Some even start moaning if you play on your phone, the whole dynamic of teaching her autocratic. Less than 50% of students attend classes and when they do they are falling asleep no one attend seminars because you don’t do anything. ‘work shy staff’ Obtaining a degree from this university will reduce you career prospect, you won’t get anywhere the quality of outputs of student is really poor.
The teaching staff half of them are not approachable and have can’t do attitude to work and students, they just ignorer you in class and avoid engagement and bonding with you. The staffs here are conservative, brown noes teaching staff who education an industry where there is no customer focus. They want to go to work and the minimum of work as possible and get away with it.
You end up as graduate unemployment figures and end up in the dole queue. Staffs here are rude they talk down at you they play mine games, they shout out you, arrogant, they are reserved and have can’t do attitude. They are not friendly or welcoming to students they suppress students so they can sit there and talk and students sit there in silence.
They mousey people who have poor communication skills and are poor calibre of people. Staffs are awful they don’t care about you or teach you properly, you don’t learn anything, its a games the have created. lot of people drop out after a year there would be more negative review but people can’t be bothered to right. and MMU PR staff are always contacting the provider to move them.
the whole culture is a anti-​student and they have a dysfunctional workforce. The Beecroft report will be much welcome at this organisation. drop out rate are high!

As you might have guessed from my Salford review, I’m something of a Salford University fan. And while Manchester Metropolitan is still a great university, there’s one word that comes to mind when I think about it. ‘Fragmented’.
I could be completely wrong, after all, it was a post-​grad course I did here and they tend to be sectioned off somewhat from the rest of the crowd… hang on, I tell a lie. One of my best friends is currently doing her Masters at Salford and she feels part of the machine, so it goes to show, there can be differences. The fact that Manchester Met has so many campuses has a great deal to do with it, I think.
The main campus is set across Oxford Road, which as we all know is one of Manchester’s main party streets. Bars, clubs, pubs aplenty are dotted along the street, so your student accommodation would only be a stone’s throw from someone being sick via too much sambuca. Depending on what kind of student you are, this can be a good thing or a bad thing. But there’s more. While Oxford Road has a sense of community, some students are chucked far, far away on a campus entitled Crewe and Alsager. Have you ever passed Crewe on a train from Manchester to God-​knows-​where? I have. Many times. It takes a very long time. And I visited the Crewe campus. There is NOTHING there.
Similarly campuses are scattered around Didsbury as well as other parts of Manchester… perhaps I feel like I’ve been spoiled with Salford and the fact that everything’s within walking distance — in fact I know I have. I do admire Man Met’s student union building, as it even has a rock club in it, and the Humanities department has a great mix of teachers. I adored my supervisors during my Masters, they were fabulous. However one of my best friends did make the mistake about talking about Man Met’s ‘not so great reputation’ (the rumour that they’ll let anyone in regardless of grades) on The Weakest Link, to which Anne Robinson raised an eyebrow and the Man Met head honchos chastised him greatly.
So my conclusion would be, don’t get drawn in by its central location and party atmosphere. Go there because you like the tutors and find a course that suits you. If you do, you have the potential to make good use of Manchester’s student Mecca. Enjoy! (Just don’t get stuck in Crewe, for the love of God. Unless you’re into suburbs and trumpets.)
