The University of Manchester

The University of Manchester is large, yet compact enough to give the best of both worlds: city life and a campus community. It is a prestigious red brick university and is also a member of the Russell Group: a select network of leading research-intensive universities in the UK. The University is investing £1 billion over 10 years into its campus and facilities, helping to sustain its incredible history of innovation, with 25 Nobel Prize winners among its current and former students and staff. 

The campus occupies a large area close to the city centre, allowing students, staff, businesses and the wider public to come together, share ideas and collaborate. It is dominated by grand Victorian buildings but also has quiet corners, landscaped gardens, cafes and common rooms where you can relax and spend time with friends. Across campus several specialist libraries offer subject-specific and tailored services. Alongside traditional library services, the university offer self-service facilities, state-of-the-art group study areas, an in-house binding service and Wi-Fi throughout. The University’s teaching and research activities are supported by extensive IT services.
