Manchester Met is home to one of the UK’s largest and most diverse student communities, with more than 44,000 students representing over 120 countries. Located in the heart of Manchester, we deliver excellent education and a tailored university experience for our students. That's why we've been named Modern University of the Year 2026 (Good University Guide 2026) and recognised in the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF), where we proudly hold Gold status. Ranked seventh in England for Student Experience in the National Student Survey 2025, and second in the UK* for work experience - based on student feedback - in the Higherin Careers rankings, students are more positive than ever about their time at Manchester Met.

Manchester Met has also been named Best University for Apprenticeships at the first-ever Apprenticeship Guide Awards.

As a Manchester Met student, you’ll study in a top five UK student city, on a campus with world-class learning spaces, a lively students’ union and fantastic social hubs. It’s a destination of opportunity, where you can explore a range of modules, activities and new experiences to make the most of your time there, with support every step of the way. It all makes for a university experience as individual as you are.

Primary and Secondary Schools

The Widening Participation Team works with those who are currently underrepresented in higher education, as defined by the Office for Students. We have developed a comprehensive programme of activities for those in Years 5-11 which can be delivered on campus and in schools.

Our campus visits include a campus tour, Intro to Higher Education or Student Life, and a student Q&A. Depending on the length of the visit, we can offer further sessions such as Growth Mindset.

As our work is targeted, we ask that schools try to ensure that two thirds of the group who attend are selected from the following target groups:  

• Those who are first in their family to attend higher education. 
• Those eligible for free school meals. 
• Those with additional needs.
• Those in the care of the local authority (looked after children). 
• Those who are service children.
