Our community of over 5,100 colleagues work in close partnership every day to bring about positive change regionally, nationally, and globally through:

Excellent education

As one of the top ten most applied to UK universities by number of undergraduate applications, our students know they’ll receive a world-class education from the moment they join us. We stimulate curiosity through our dynamic and innovative approach to teaching, learning and a holistic student experience as demonstrated by 30th place ranking in the UK in the National Student Survey 2023, and our Gold status in the Teaching Excellence Framework.

Excellent research with impact

Our research agenda truly tackles the grand challenges of our time, it’s why we saw our best-ever performance in the Research Excellence Framework, with 90% of our research rated as world leading or internationally excellent with four subjects in the top ten for research power. By harnessing our creativity and confidence, our research proudly makes a difference to real lives and real communities in Manchester and beyond.

We have bold ambitions

We’re determined to continue proudly driving progress, and be ambitious for our students, colleagues and the future. This ambition translates into investment and action.

Over ten years, we’ve been investing more than £400 million into award-winning buildings and facilities to deliver excellence in education and research. This includes the Dalton Building, our new home for the Faculty of Science and Engineering - a state-of-the-art environment with outstanding facilities and social spaces.

This investment is mirrored by the investment in our people. Our wide-ranging and bespoke development opportunities for colleagues, from leadership programmes to apprenticeships, place people at the heart of everything we do. We’re creating smarter workspaces with the best digital technologies, delivering a competitive reward and benefits offer and creating a culture that embraces diversity, fresh thinking, collaboration, recognition, and meaningful connections.
