Back at uni
Student experience 16th April 2018
Now that Semester Two has started and I’m back into my Uni routine, I’m feeling so pumped! It’s good to be back. There is so much of Uni life I missed while I was home for the holidays, including the rain! Warm weather and sunny skies get old very quickly. I’m really enjoying my modules […]

Exam Results and Internships
Making it count 17th March 2016
Long time no blog. So a lot has been happening and it has been difficult to find time for myself. Blogging has been shunned aside for a while but now I am back and will update you on what has been going on. As you may know, second year (or penultimate year) is the time […]
Eat.Sleep.Study.Repeat
Welcome to Maths 7th March 2016
Exam season, without a doubt, is one of the most stressful periods of University life! It is physically and mentally exhausting, even if you’re the most organised person in the world! But, having said that, it’s not a challenge one can’t overcome! Especially if you’re at the University of Manchester, where everyone is so lovely […]
Let second year begin
Making it count 27th September 2015
So I’ve moved back to Manchester last week and let me just say that it’s good to be back! I think it’s fair to say that I missed the buzz of the city and the people. But I think I’m gonna have to get used to cooking and cleaning for myself, I think I took […]
Easter break
Student experience 7th April 2015
It is now Easter break and time to relax… kind of! It is good to be home and having a little break from uni. This three weeks off was needed! Before breaking up for Easter, I had two of my mid-term tests. Both of which went quite well. I still have two mid-terms left and […]
Time flies when you’re having fun…
Student experience 4th March 2015
So we’re halfway through the second semester and I just can’t believe how fast it’s going, it feels like I just started my first year at uni and now it’s almost over! There’s so much that I haven’t done yet, but I suppose the good news is that I have next year and the year […]
Open Evening, DigiLab and Free Stuff
Welcome to Maths 20th October 2014
Time is truly flying past and we are now heading into week five. Next week is Reading Week, and you know what that means… EXAMS! Yes, my mid-terms are fast approaching and, as I suspected, my heap of work is slowly evolving into a mountain. The past few weeks have gone so unbelievably quickly it […]
Moving in…

Hi my name’s Jess, I’m 18 years old and I’m from a town in North Wales called Connah’s Quay. I’m studying the 4 year maths course. It’s a scary prospect and this will be my first year as a student in Manchester… but having the opportunity to chat about the beginning of my journey while […]
Welcome Week!
Welcome to Maths 29th September 2014
On my first day inside the University of Manchester, it was easier than I thought to stumble across people on the same course as me. After asking around, we were soon in a little group signing up for societies together and getting to know one another. The Alan Turing building is modern and spacious and […]
