Ranked
third in the world for our societal impact by the Times Higher Education
University Impact Rankings, we want our knowledge and expertise to
contribute to sustainable development and social justice for everyone.
Our
research engages with the world’s biggest questions – that’s why we bring
together the best people in these fields to help us to find the answers. We’ve
a history of attracting world-leading minds to work with us, from Niels Bohr
and Arthur Lewis to our latest Nobel laureates Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov,
whose pioneering work with the one-atom thick wonder material graphene has
established Manchester not just as the centre of research into its application.
More
international students study with us than at any other UK university, with 160
nationalities coming together on campus, making us one of the world’s most
international universities. We work closely with overseas agents and foundation course providers,
and tour the world to meet prospective students face to face. Offering
outstanding English language support and orientation programmes, as well as
courses and careers advice designed with employability in mind, we’re a
springboard for tomorrow’s leaders. And our teaching goes beyond our campus –
our range of postgraduate distance-learning courses and MOOCs enable a global
audience to benefit from a Manchester education.
