University campus visits for groups of school and college students

Tutors of groups of students can book their students on to a campus visit to The University of Manchester, to get a taste of university life and experience first-hand the atmosphere of the University campus.

Visits will last approximately two hours and will consist of the following:

• a welcome presentation – which features content relevant to adult learners returning to education, such as what to include a personal statement and managing academic study;
• a student ambassador Q&A session – with a panel made up of current students and a chance to ask them questions on how they have managed their student experience;
• a campus tour of the University.

If you’d like to book a campus visit for your students, please email christopher.farrington@manchester.ac.uk to discuss dates and availability. If there is a specific subject area your group are interested in, please include this in your email and we will look at the possibility of arranging a session with this department as part of your visit.

Please note that the following conditions apply:

• each date must have a minimum of 25 students booked on from any school or college;
• your booking may be merged with another college group;
• bookings must be made at least one month in advance of your scheduled visit date;
• subject-specific sessions will increase the duration of your visit.
