Manchester-Melbourne-Toronto Alliance | The University of Manchester

About the alliance

To strengthen existing trilateral collaborations across science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and non-STEM areas such as cancer, cities, the creative economy and migration studies, the universities have formed a three-way alliance to promote shared initiatives that address global challenges in a post-pandemic era.

With a combined 187,000 students and 45,000 staff, the opportunities across the three continents include:

global classroom programmes for students that provide interaction with world-leading teachers and researchers;
student exchange programmes providing global experiences to boost career prospects;
dual PhD programmes;
giving researchers access to specialist facilities;
opportunities to work on joint research programmes;
making joint funding applications;
knowledge exchange on topics including operational best practises, policies and geopolitics;
cross-continental links to industry and researchers.
