Why Manchester?

Whether it's to experience the fantastic affordable welcoming city; the opportunity to find a community that you belong to; or for the chance to live in one of our many vibrant halls of residence. Second year student Aidan took to the streets of our University campus to ask current students at The University of Manchester why they chose to study here.

What makes us different

We're one of the world's leading universities for social and environmental impact (Times Higher Education Impact Rankings). Here, you’ll be able to tackle the planet’s biggest challenges.


We’ve invested in the latest teaching tools to offer flexible, multidisciplinary courses that you can tailor to suit you. Our blended learning approach allows you to adapt the time, place and pace of your studies and benefit from in-person teaching.


We guarantee a room in accommodation at one of our residential campuses to new, full-time undergraduate students. Whether it’s our Fallowfield campus, well-known for its social scene; our Victoria Park campus, home to green surroundings; or our city campus in Manchester’s heart, you’ll find a place to belong.


Voted the top UK city to live in (Global Liveability Index, 2022), Manchester has it all. Here, you’ll find live music and club nights; museums, theatres and galleries scattered throughout; top-level sport played weekly; and food for all tastes.

I chose Manchester because it is a university with amazing student opportunities and societies, within a well-connected and vibrant city atmosphere.
