Feedback

The University of Manchester is committed to providing timely and appropriate feedback to students on their academic progress and achievement, thereby enabling students to reflect on their progress and plan their academic and skills development effectively. Feedback, and acting on feedback, is therefore part of the active learning process throughout your course of study.

Methods of feedback vary according to the assessment type and the individual needs of the student. The feedback for each unit is outlined in the specific course unit information in the programme section of this handbook. You should expect to receive feedback on your work within 15 working days of the submission.

Feedback is a broad term, which can be interpreted in different ways. Many different forms of feedback are provided within your degree programme. For example, you will receive feedback for both summative and formative assessments. Your feedback can also be delivered in a variety of ways; this could include a meeting with your Programme Director/Course Unit Coordinator or comments on a written piece of work.
