Transforming lives together through education and research
We’re Manchester Met proud – ambitious, innovative, and collaborative, using our world-class facilities and diverse expertise to be a force for good.
Our research community is growing stronger every year, with increased support and investment enabling our teams to tackle ambitious projects and make real-world impact.
Research funding has grown by 50% in just three years. And we’ve achieved a new ‘best’ with research awards of almost £30m last year, so we can keep making a difference. Recent highlights include:
- £3.8m from AHRC for the Robotics Living Lab
- £1m from the MRC for Parkinson’s research
- £1m from EPSRC for facial prosthetics
Through partnerships with communities, businesses, industry and other institutions, we’re tackling the grand challenges of our time.
