Uni of Manchester Freshers 2014-15

Anybody had a Chemistry interview yet? What was the structure of the interview like? Informal chat, or hard questions?

Wheyy, I'm also for Chemistry (with a year in industry). Don't know whether to firm it or not though, because I really like Sheffield too... but Manchester's offer is higher! Stuck

I looked at Manchester and Shefield for Chemistry, but chose Manchester in the end for a few reasons:
1. Sheffield's labs looked a bit dark and small compared to Manchester's
2. Manchester generally does better then Sheffield in league tables for chemistry, and overall
3. the man who gave the departmental talk for Chemistry at Sheffield was the most boring man in the world, whereas Manchester had by far and away the best departmental talk guy of any of the universities I'd looked at.

Shefield does have the advantage of having much nicer accommodation than Manchester though.
At the end of the day it's you're personal preferance, choose the one you think you'll enjoy the most
Oh yeah, and I'm going for a year in industry too

Hey guys I'm new to this thread and have an offer from Manchester (AAB for Pharmacy)

I came to ask a particular question, that is, does anybody know anything about whether we are allowed to torrent using the uni wifi?

I've heard that they don't allow P2P (e.g. no 40D etc). I'm just wondering if anyone knows much about this, or if there are any current Manchester students who download tv shows etc. and how they do it..
I will literally die if I don't get my weekly 8 Out of 10 Cats fix..

Reply if you know anything about wifi/torrenting/downloading PLEASE! cheerrs

If it's legal it's allowed, if it's illegal it's not allowed.

Though I can't say I know anyone who got done for illegal downloads either tbh.

regardless, what about torrenting? can they see specifically what torrent you are downloading?

Does anyone know when is the manchester offer holders day ?

anyone else for chemical engineering or opted for oak house??

I've made Manchester my firm choice for Chemical engineering(with industry).

I was also thinking of Oak House too, but I haven't applied for accommodation yet.
Are you thinking of going to the open house day on March 16th?

Have a read of this if you haven't already Accommodation FAQ

Guys, the weirdest thing ever just happened to me. I study international foundation programme at King's College London and the highest grade that can be achieved here is 70. However, they have sent me an offer asking for an 80 at least for all subjects. What am I supposed to do? I could really use some help.


P.S. I applied to law

Email them and explain that your foundation programme is marked out of 70, so your conditions are impossible to achieve.

It's not the first time that a mistake has been made and it won't be the last

But the problem is that the programme is marked out of 100 in theory but practically it is something like illegal for a teacher to mark over 70. Therefore even King's College itself asks for a 70 which is the highest grade. Do you think if I e-mail them they will reconsider their conditions? Or should I get my personal tutor to explain them the situation?(I don't even know if it is legal for my tutor to do that) I am terrified.
