Manchester Metropolitan University

A modern university with a history of higher education since 1824.

In today’s competitive climate it is increasingly important to stand out; a postgraduate qualification is a smart way of achieving this.

For many of our postgraduate students, an advanced qualification represents the next step on their professional ladder, or an opportunity to advance or change their career; for others it is the passion for a subject that follows a path of lifelong learning.

With more than 10,000 postgraduate students across a wide variety of disciplines, we pride ourselves on our flexible approach to study, providing a range of part-time and full-time study options, allowing you to continue your professional development around existing commitments.

We’re well placed to take advantage of our location, in the thriving north west of England. Home to well over a quarter of a million businesses, it’s the second largest media hub in the country, and the largest financial and professional services centre outside of London.

Our experts
We place employability at the heart of your learning and teaching. Our staff are committed to sharing their passion for their subject, giving you the best possible learning experience.

Programmes are underpinned by a combination of industry experience and research which has real world impact. We offer over 250 taught programmes in partnership with more than 70 professional bodies across a wide range of subject areas.

You will be taught and supervised by research led academic staff in the field of sciences, art, humanities, education, business, health and social sciences, many of whom are at the forefront of their specialist field and who will give you support and guidance throughout your studies and beyond.

Our facilities
We’ve created outstanding academic facilities with stylish lecture theatres, seminar rooms and study zones, equipped with the latest technology and specialist equipment.

Following a multi-million-pound refurbishment, you’ll find five storeys of professional resources in the library which you can access 24 hours a day during term time.
