The major longstanding issues which our student in Manchester campuses face is restriction of access to learning resources i.e. extended library hours, 24 hrs access to drop in centres. MMU student population not only constitutes of undergraduates but part time, postgraduate and students with various other commitments who are not able to use the library resources extensively due to limited opening hours, which are not suitable to them. Also some courses require students to self-study large numbers of hours; similarly during exam time’s students tend to study long hours and want to put all their efforts in to get good grades.
In order to tackle this serious issue your Students Union campaigned long and hard on this, we raised this matter on various platforms/meetings from Board of Governors to informal meetings and at last the university agreed to extend the All Saints library hours from Monday 7th April. The timings are Mon to Thursday until 11:30pm and until 9:30pm on Sunday.
However we have not stopped here, we do understand that 24hr drop-in-centre is an invaluable resourse for students and should be provided if MMU wishes to claim that it is the University for World Class Professionals therefore we will continue to push this forward.
