Campus visits for school and college groups 2019/20
We offer school and college groups from the UK (including the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey) the opportunity to visit campus over the course of the academic year to get a taste of university life.
Coronavirus notice
We're carefully reviewing all of our recruitment events in light of the developing coronavirus outbreak. View the latest updates on measures we're taking.
As a result, our campus visits for the remainder of the academic year have been cancelled. We’ll continue to monitor the situation as it develops, and will provide details of our 2020/21 campus visits in due course.
These visits give your students the opportunity to experience first-hand the atmosphere of our campus. We offer visits for groups ranging from Years 7–12.
Year 12
We have scheduled dates taking place across the year, which feature the following:
- a welcome presentation – featuring aspects to consider when choosing what and where to study, student life and information about The University of Manchester;
- a student ambassador Q and A panel – where your group has the opportunity to quiz current students about student life and the process of applying to university;
- a campus tour;
- an optional Art of Application session – this focuses on the UCAS application process, in particular what to include in a personal statement.
Our visits start at 10.30am, with the campus tour finishing at approximately 12.30pm. If you would like your group to take part in the optional Art of Application session, this will finish at 1.30pm.
Please email Christopher Farrington for further information.
Year 11
If you would like to bring a group of Year 11 students onto campus, please email christopher.farrington@manchester.ac.uk to discuss the possibility of your students visiting the University.
The University of Manchester is closely monitoring national and international developments in relation to COVID-19 and taking actions as appropriate. As a result, a decision has been made to cancel or postpone all University-led events on the University campus until further notice. Unfortunately this means we can't look at availability at present to host a campus visit to the University.
Year 8, 9 and 10 students
We have dates scheduled in November and February for Year 9 and 10 students, and in May for Year 8 students. These visits provide an introduction to university life, with a focus on how university differs from school, the opportunities to get involved with different clubs and societies, budgeting, entry requirements for courses and student life in general.
