Introduction

With academic roots stretching back to 1824 and claims for 25 Nobel prizes, The University of Manchester is one of the world’s leading institutions. This is confirmed in numerous rankings, including the QS World University Ranking 2024 which places the University 32nd in the world.

Our world-class campus has benefited from a £1 billion investment in teaching and research facilities. These include the new £400 million engineering campus, the £150 million Paterson Cancer Research Centre, the £105 million Henry Royce Institute, which is the UK’s National Institute for Advanced Materials Research and Innovation, as well as an £85 million refurbishment of the ‘triple-crowned’ (AACSB, AMBA, EQUIS) Alliance Manchester Business School.

These facilities, together with our acclaimed teaching and student outcomes, give our students opportunities to enjoy an engaging and enriching student experience across our portfolio of programmes.

Our provision spans the disciplines of engineering, humanities, medicine, sciences and social sciences.

Manchester

Our single-site campus is at the heart of the city of Manchester.

Manchester is one of the UK’s and the world’s most popular student cities as a vibrant, cosmopolitan and friendly place to live and learn.

The city has one of the most diverse populations in the UK with more than 200 languages spoken, restaurants and shops to cater to a wide range of taste and dietary requirements, as well as faith facilities to support those who follow the world’s major religions.

It's a budget-friendly location for international students as rent prices are more reasonable. Many amenities are within walking distance of the campus with most of the shops, theatres, cafes and restaurants just a short stroll away. 

Employability

We're once again the most targeted universities in the UK by the nation's top graduate employers (High Fliers Research, 2023) and among the leading institutions for global graduate employability (QS and Times Higher Education’s respective rankings).

World-leading research

We are recognised as a global powerhouse of research, with 96% of the University’s research activity assessed as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’ in the Research Excellence Framework 2021.
