Manchester Metropolitan University

Life at Manchester Met is exciting, with lots of new experiences and opportunities to explore.  But it’s also a time when you may need a little extra help now and then. That’s why we offer a range of support services to help you get the right help at the right time. 

• Our Study Skills team provides support throughout your academic journey. They are accessible online or on campus, providing short courses, group workshops, and one-to-one appointments. mmu.ac.uk/support 
• Most courses offer our peer-assisted learning programme, PAL. It’s a friendly online community where you can connect with students from a higher-year group on the same course called PAL Leaders. In PAL sessions, you get a safe space to ask questions, get clarity on past lectures, boost your confidence ahead of exams, and make new friends. Outside of PAL sessions, you can live chat with Manchester Met’s Peer Guides. These are current students who are available online to answer real-time questions and share their experiences. mmu.ac.uk/pal

We provide confidential, professional help and advice for any personal issues through one-to-one appointments, group workshops, self-help articles, podcasts and more. mmu.ac.uk/wellbeing
