About the university

Why students choose Manchester Metropolitan University

One of the largest universities in the UK, in central Manchester. Known for its art and design school, business school and a wide range of professional programmes.

Both direct entry and foundation or pathway routes are available here. If your grades or English score fall short of direct admission, the pathway route is a genuine alternative to waiting a year.

Tuition, entry requirements and intake dates differ by programme and change each year. Ask us for the current figures for the course you are considering rather than relying on published averages.
