What our students say
Hanako, BSc Education
“I’ve always questioned why adults from different countries can’t get along with each other when children can.
I chose to study BSc Education at The University of Manchester because this course allows me to study education through the scopes of Sociology, Psychology, and find solutions to problems in society caused by education systems.”
Xiaoyu, BSc Educational Psychology
“‘You’re meant to be here.’ That’s what one of the LED signs on campus says. I remember walking past it one evening and feeling an instant spark of recognition: this was where I was meant to be... UoM gave me the platform to explore, learn, and grow.
I’m so glad I chose to study here.”
Ahmed, PGCE Secondary
“If you’re thinking about teaching in the UK or doing a PGCE, don’t let doubts hold you back. The University of Manchester gave me the right tools and support to make this journey possible, and Manchester gave me the environment to grow and feel at home.
So, if you’re passionate, open to learning, and willing to take the leap go for it.”
