Contextual admissions
At Manchester, we want to ensure that our student body is representative of the diversity of talent in our communities.
Contextual admissions and access schemes are some of the ways we do this. Our University offers a number of programmes to help you get a taste of the university experience and take the first steps towards higher education.
Widening Access information session
As part of our undergraduate virtual open day, Rachel Bailey, Student Recruitment and Widening Participation Manager, hosted an information session covering the support in place for widening participation students making an application to Manchester.
