r/UoM

Hello everyone I am starting out in University of Manchester this september as an Indian student. It's my first time dealing with an international uni and everything so I need some help from yall.

• I wanna know what the odd job market is like (I think i'll be allowed 20hrs per week as per my visa). If you've had some experience, what I should do to get something good and manageable for my studies (my accommodation isnt final but my campus is on Oxford St so somewhere nearby).
• Where i can apply- if there's one specific website or different websites for different skills )if so, please lmk which ones)
• If you know any jobs that will be available (i know its big reach but it doesnt hurt to ask)

So, anything and everything I should know as an International student (26 F) about the jobs there that I can do with a full time degree.

My offer is currently AAA, however I used the ucas tool to see what the lowest offer holder is and it says for those who got ABB 58% got let in. I assumed it was those who got the A in chemistry which I know im capable of however im not sure if the ucas tool is very accurate. A friend told me that those people got let in because they have a contextual offer but im really not sure. Does anyone doing Chemistry know people on their course who weren't contextual and didn't meet their grade requirements but still got onto the course?

Can I do a foundation year in MMU for accounting and transfer to UoM?

Does Uni of Manchester accept this?

Please tell me as I flopped my a levels and got DEE, but I want to attend a Russel group.

I know accommodation can be a big topic so I’m here to help. Got questions about halls, choosing where to live, what to expect, or anything else? I’ll be answering questions all afternoon, so ask me anything!

Help please. Budget is a significant factor for me. Based on that, what is the best accomodation I can go for?

Hello folks! I just got an offer for the MSc Advanced Manufacturing Technology & Systems Management course at the University of Manchester for the September 2026 intake. What is the recent state of employability after graduation from this course? Can past alumni comment on where they are working at the moment? Any comments will be appreciated, thanks!
