Our city
Manchester needs no introduction. The city is firmly on the map whether you know it for its rich industrial history, music, football, creativity or just its lively, welcoming vibe. At Manchester Met, you’ll be at the heart of this global, vibrant and ambitious city - brimming with cultural hotspots, including galleries and museums and a thriving food and drink scene.
The city is big on business, with one of the UK’s largest creative and digital sectors. It’s also the country’s leading centre for business, financial and professional services outside London, home to many global banking, science and technology corporations. Manchester Met is a key player in this Manchester powerhouse, developing strong links with SMEs and large businesses, the NHS, football clubs and local and national government to give our talented students and skilled graduates enviable opportunities and deliver outstanding research with real-world impacts.
And like any great powerhouse, it’s well connected by road, rail, tram (Metrolink), bus and air. We’re home to the busiest airport outside London. And if you need a break from stimulating city life, the breathtaking landscapes of the world famous UNESCO World Heritage Lake District National Park, the Pennines and the Peak District are just around an hour away
