We publish posts written by and interviews with our students and graduates to help you see what it’s like to study on the Faculty of Science and Engineering (FSE) at the University of Manchester, whether you’re a current student or applying for undergraduate study or are considering joining one of our postgraduate programmes.

We edit all posts for spelling, grammar and formatting. The opinions expressed by blog post authors and interviewees do not reflect those of the FSE or The University of Manchester, and are the authors and interviewees’ own.

Please note that any factual information about specific programmes of study was correct at the time that the blog post was written, and may have changed since then. We cannot offer any advice on courses or careers. Please check the Faculty website for up-to-date information on our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes:
