I don't see an MMA society!!!! :frown: If i dnt have somewhere to train i'm gonna go mad!


If MMU have one, it's possible to join that (though few seem to know about the reciprocal arrangements, so you might have to push a bit). Failing that, have a look for some local clubs - I'm sure there's somewhere.

I'm an international student (though I have studied here for 6 years now) planning to study architecture at Manchester University in 2014 and I'm looking at accommodations.

Personally, I would like the place to be crowed but not too many people. I'm happy with Shared Bathroom (maybe with wash basin)

Any suggestions on:
Self catering vs catered
City centre vs Fallowfield

So far people have suggested:
Grosvenor Place (I heard that Due for demolition and it will not available for 2014/15 onwards)
Woolton
Allen Hall
Oakhaouse

Would you also suggest joining clubs/societies (Musics or LGBT) given the amount of work for an architectural student? And are these society within the uni?

Any architecture students who can give any suggestions?

Have you read this thread at all? http://www.thestudentroom.co.uk/showthread.php?t=2091577

Architecture students do have a fair amount of work to do, though a lot of it is more creative than academic. From observing friends of mine who do architecture, what I will say is that your life will be much easier if you keep on top of the workload. When people don't do that, they end up staying awake for three days straight (not pretty, at all)

However, you should have enough time to get involved with societies :yep:

Hi, i have a few questions.

I will be an international student of UoM this year (hopefully...)

I'm doing a twinning programme with my local university in Malaysia and transferring to UoM for year 2 LLB Law.

My questions are:

1. How do I know what sort of bursaries am i entitled to?

2. Will i need to submit a proof of my parents' pay slip to prove that I'm within the bracket of 'up to 25,000 p.a' or the bracket of 'between 25,000 to 46,250 p.a' or is the bursaries only available for E.U students?

3. What does it mean by 'cash bursaries'. As in do i get the money in terms of cash in my bank account?

4. If it is so, would it be given to me in full in one go or will it be in the form of installments?

Thank you.

Thank you for your reply :smile:
Not sure if this is the right place to out this?

But I'm studying drama and screen studies, any screen studies students here?

Do I need a decent laptop like a mac for film editing/decent quality etc?

Thankyou :smile:
Hopefull this is the right place to post this...

I am studying Adult Nursing at UoM - any idea when we will get our timetables?

I am currently working full time and hoping to stay on doing some bank hours, would just like an idea of my availability (if any ha) for the first year so I can work out potential finances..

Uni's a bit scary to me as I'm a mature student (24) with my own house and bills etc so this is very daunting for me - but exciting all at the same time! :smile:

I don't know exact hours, but a lot of my close friends are nurses and they were in lectures pretty much 9-5 five days a week, then in second term it was 4 days + 1 day (8 hour shift) of placement.
Probably on the wrong section but I am roughly planning my budget and meat seem to be far more expensive than in my country (greece).
Is there any other source of meat other than supermarkets (butcher shops, a central market or something) to find cheaper meat? (I am following a high protein diet as I'm weight-training)

I'm not really the best person to ask as I don't eat meat. However, there are a number of halal butchers on the curry mile that sell cheaper meat (though some of it is so cheap that I'd seriously question what is wrong with it - it'll start with factory farming and then get worse).

It should be noted that most UK bodybuilders drink protein shakes which are whey based, which works out a lot cheaper than trying to eat piles of meat.

Many thanks for the quick response. Actually, I am going to use both whey shakes and meat.
Hi! I was wondering if the uni offers the option of Airport pick-up to those travelling by plane and arriving directly at Manchester. Thanks!

Yes they do. It's called the Airport Collection Service and you need to pre book on the website :smile:
