Indonesia
Introduction
The University of Manchester is home to more than 200 students from Indonesia, making it one of the largest Indonesian student communities in the UK. This includes PPI GM – a large student society from students from Indonesia who organise various events and cultural celebrations throughout the year.
We are proud to be a popular choice for sponsored students, including LPDP, and also offer generous scholarships for self-funded students.
Manchester is a vibrant multicultural city. There are prayer rooms available across campus, a University Chaplaincy, and there are a number of mosques and churches located near the University and student areas.
Many of our restaurants serve a selection of halal-certified meals and sandwiches, and many front line staff have completed training on how to deliver halal food.
