Exceptional learning environments

Highly interactive online learning tools complement our high-quality, face-to-face teaching to offer you a richer learning experience.

We are committed to creating contemporary, technology-rich teaching and learning spaces, which put students at the heart of the learning experience through our ongoing programme of investment into our campus and facilities. Already we have the largest collection of books and digital resources of any UK university, and extensive Wi-Fi coverage on campus.

Library

The University Library is one of the largest and best-resourced in the UK. With over four million books, it also provides a collection of electronic resources unrivalled by any other UK University.

Specialist library staff provide every new student with a full introduction to services, resources and how to make the most of them, and are also on hand throughout your time at the University to provide advice, training and help whenever you need it. Of course, if you have any special needs, facilities and help are provided here too.

IT facilities

Manchester's IT provision is constantly growing and being updated to satisfy the rigorous demands of the most computer-literate of students. But even if you've never graduated beyond a games
console, there's no cause for concern. The University provides guidance, training and support to help you keep abreast of the latest computer programmes and electronic information resources.

When you become a student at Manchester, you will be registered for email, file storage and internet access. Computer clusters pepper the campus, many within individual Schools and halls
of residence. The biggest computer clusters are located in the main Library and George Kenyon Building. Several of these clusters are open 24 hours a day. More powerful workstations are available to support specialist research applications.
