Warning to Prospective Postgraduate Students

Based on my personal experience, I would caution prospective postgraduate students to carefully consider registering at MANCOSA. I found the marking standards to be inconsistent, with outcomes appearing to depend heavily on the individual marker rather than a clear, uniform rubric. Similar work can be graded very differently, which creates uncer*****y and raises concerns about fairness in assessment. Mancosa is a big ****

Reviewer Update
Mancosa’s marking is completely inconsistent and unfair. Students are graded by different markers, and results clearly depend on the marker’s opinion rather than the quality of the work. I’ve seen work of the same standard receive very different outcomes—some students pass while others fail with no clear justification. Feedback is vague, and concerns about fairness are dismissed using policy instead of being properly addressed. For a postgraduate institution, this lack of standardisation and transparency is unacceptable. Think carefully before enrolling. There is no help that you will receive if you register with Mancosa it's a waste of your money. The called me and basically told me my paper has been graded i have to re-register mind you pay for resubmission after 53k for the whole postgrad

Stay away from Mancosa if you get any chance, it's all-false adverti*****t. They don't even consider their student all they care about is their money making schemes
