Manchester Matters is the University's commitment to open, honest and two-way conversation between you and the University, delivered in partnership with the Students' Union. Whether you want to fix something on your course, challenge a decision at the top, or get paid to share your perspective - there's a way in for you.
If something isn't working - or something is - we want to know.
Course Unit Surveys give you a direct line to the people who design your teaching. Your responses shape what changes next year, and the year after.
Student Reps sit in the room where decisions get made. They take the issues students raise directly into School and Faculty meetings. Becoming one is one of the most tangible ways to create change - and if yours isn't doing enough, you can raise that too.
The National Student Survey (NSS) - if you're a final-year undergraduate, this is the one that goes beyond Manchester. NSS results are published nationally and used to hold universities to account. They're taken seriously at the very top.
If you've got views on how the University is run, what it stands for, or what it should be doing differently - these are the routes in.
Ask Me Anything sessions put you in the same room as Duncan Ivison, our President & Vice-Chancellor. Bring whatever's on your mind - he takes unscripted questions from students, and nothing is off limits.
Our next AMA is on 21 April, 1–2pm at The Hive - in person or live streamed. Book your place.
Oxford Road Chats are a social media series where students and senior leaders talk on camera, on Oxford Road - about the issues that actually matter on campus, including the ones that don't have easy answers.
LeadMCR is the Students' Union's annual election for its paid Exec Officer team. Whoever wins spends a year working full-time on the issues students actually care about. Vote, stand, or both.
The Student Perspectives Group is one of the more direct ways to influence what the University actually does - and most students have never heard of it.
Give your honest views on University projects, campaigns and decisions before they're finalised, and you'll get a £15 voucher for each hour you attend.
