University of Manchester applicants and offer holders thread 2015

Ahh imagine haha! What course are you doing? Is Manchester your firm?

Hey all, I'm new on TSR and this is my first post. I'm an international student that received a conditional offer for Beng mechatronic engineering at the uni of Manchester and have accepted it as my firm choice. I've already finished writing my end of year exam in the end of 2014 and submitted my results (6 jan 2015) already. It's been about a few days and no confirmation that they've received my results or if I'm accepted or not. Is this normal?

Soz if I came off as impatient, I was a bit curious about the time it usually takes for the uni to make decisions etc. Thanx for the advice guys

They very fast in their replies so do inquire to be on the safer side

I'll enquire asap. Wouldn't like my email to be "lost in the mail"

On the Key Dates page of the Uni of Manchester's website, it says:
Semester 1 starts 21 September 2015
Winter graduation 14–18 December 2015
Christmas break starts 18 December 2015
Christmas break ends 18 January 2016
Semester 1 ends 31 January 2016
For 1st and 2nd year students, does the Christmas break start on the 14th Dec (since they don't have winter graduation do they?) or does it start on the 18th for all students?

Physics with a year in europe yeah it is!

That's my top choice too! I've only just sent my application and got the interview invite this week though What was your interview like, if you don't mind me asking?

Well just to let you know I did initially apply for maths & physics but then switched to physics with a year in europe post offer however in mine I was asked why I want to study Physics, why Manchester appeals to me, a bit about my epq work, and then I started babbling on about my favourite mathematicians that I'd read up on and then we got to talking about the normal distribution and she asked me if I knew the equation and to show how the graph is translated from it good luck I'm sure you will be fine, the interview is more about having a little bit of insurance if you fail your offer!

Thank you so much, it's really nice to hear about a specific interview! I've heard they're a bit more relaxed at Manchester than some places, and yeah a few people have said about it being insurance. Good luck with your grades, might see you in September!

Yeah I enjoyed mine tbh! Yeah you too what country are you thinking of visiting?
