"As a mature student, being able to study for my MSc part-time at The University of Manchester was perfect for me, enabling me to successfully juggle family responsibilities alongside the work required.
The course encourages independent problem solving and the lecturers and tutors provide excellent guidance (always being helpful and encouraging). Studying for my MSc gave me the confidence to make a successful application to study for a PhD, also at The University of Manchester.
Not once during my time at Manchester did I feel that I didn’t fit in, even though I was older than all the students plus some of the tutors!
I am extremely grateful for The University of Manchester for providing me with the opportunity to study for a MSc and am excited to be continuing my studies here."
