Manchester Voices: A student podcast from The University of Manchester The University of Manchester

We welcome all students to our diverse and beautiful student community, including those that identify under the LGBTQ+ spectrum. 
Our students, Madi, Esa, Chris and Ray talk about all their experiences of being students who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.
They discuss how they feel about the city of Manchester as a supporting diverse community; the support on offer to them from the University, including that of from the Students' Union; what spaces and societies they feel most at home in at the University; the perceptions of LGBTQ+ people in the city and the UK more widely; and of course - Gay Village and its many nightclubs, bars and cafes. 

For this special episode of Manchester Voices, we brought in three recent graduates of the University to talk about their experiences of finding work after university, top tips on how to make the most of your time at the University, how to make yourself more employable during your studies, and the future for them. 
Giorgia Ravera is a Sustainability Coordinator and graduate in Politics and International Relations. Michael Sullivan is a Software Scientist at Rutherford Appleton Lab and studied both a Master's in Theoretical Physics and a PhD in Particle Physics of Philosophy at the University. Norbert Magos is a Senior Policy Advisor and a graduate of Politics and International Relations. 

It's very natural to feel lonely at university! In a sea of thousands of people, this is still a very normal experience. There is plenty support and advice for you if you experience this. Our students Maansi, Dorsa and Tom have come together to talk about their experiences and offer you some support. 

To celebrate International Women's Day, Dorsa, Ella and Ruby got together to talk about their experiences of university life as women and what women inspire them. The group discuss what International Women's Day means to them; what women inspire them; their experiences of being women at university; and their greatest achievements! Not to mention, a special shout out to Taylor Swift,  Beyonce and all mums.
