Manchester

Whether you’re heading to the University of Manchester soon, or just want to know more, we’ve got you covered.

Here are some key facts to fill you in:

  • Founded in 2004
  • Consists of two campuses: The Oxford Road Campus and The Whitworth Park Campus
  • Has over 40 student halls to choose from

The University of Manchester may be relatively young, having only been formed in 2004, but it has come a long way. Now it is one of the leading universities in the world.

This uni excels in the sciences, social sciences, humanities, and engineering, among others.

Manchester is packed with student life, social activities, and culture. There’s always something happening, whether it’s a club night, a cultural festival, or a sporting event. It is also home to two of the biggest football teams on the planet.

For great nightlife, check out The Deansgate Locks, The Factory, and The Printworks. If you prefer some culture, head to the Manchester Art Gallery, the John Rylands Library, and the Imperial War Museum North.

Former UK Prime Minister Harold Wilson, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Andre Geim, and mathematician John Horton Conway, have all studied here.
