About ManchesterWith an industrial past and a vibrant present, Manchester is one of the most dynamic and lively cities in Europe. Home to world-class sport, top shopping and hundreds of restaurants, Manchester has cultural events and attractions to suit every lifestyle. The city itself has a diverse and multicultural population and is home to one of the largest student populations in the UK.

HISTORY AND ARCHITECTUREManchester’s position as the world’s first

industrial city is evident in its famous

Victorian buildings and monuments,

such as the Town Hall in Albert Square.

In recent years the city centre has

been reshaped. New public spaces have

been created, and imaginative buildings

and developments have appeared,

transforming the city’s skyline.

EATING AND DRINKINGWith over 300 restaurants there is an

eclectic range of high-quality, modern

British and international cuisine available.

Manchester’s Chinatown is the second

largest in Britain and has a number of Asian

restaurants and supermarkets. There are also

many restaurants and shops in Rusholme’s

‘Curry Mile’ offering South Asian and Middle

Eastern dining options and produce.

CULTURAL MANCHESTERManchester offers a rich choice of cultural

activities. There are more than 50 museums

and galleries in Greater Manchester, most

of which provide free admission. Two of the

best - the Whitworth Art Gallery recently

named museum of the year 2015, and the

Manchester Museum – close to the campus.

Manchester has something to offer

everyone. Whether it’s international

cinemas, theatres, opera, ballet, comedy

or music, it’s all here.

SPORTManchester is home to two of the biggest

names in sport: Manchester United and

Manchester City football clubs. Manchester

United’s ground, Old Trafford, is the largest

club ground in Britain, while 2014 Premier

League winners Manchester City are based

on the other side of the city at their Etihad

Stadium, originally built for the 2002

Commonwealth Games.

The Games left a legacy of world-class

sporting facilities, including the Manchester

Aquatics Centre and the Manchester

Velodrome. National and international cricket

can be enjoyed at Lancashire’s Old Trafford

Ground, and rugby union and rugby league

teams play at nearby Sale, Salford, Wigan

and Warrington.

SHOPPINGManchester is the shopping capital of the

North and has a range of top department

stores, popular high street chains and

designer boutiques. The Northern Quarter

offers a unique experience with its mix

of fashionable bars, cafés and vintage

boutiques, where you will be able to

find products from all over the world.

The Trafford Centre, a large out-of-town

shopping centre with more than 250 stores,

confirms Manchester’s reputation as a

shopper’s paradise.

GETTING AROUND THE CITYAlthough Manchester is one of the largest

cities in the UK, it is easy to navigate. It has

a compact city centre that can be accessed

either on foot or by using the city’s excellent

public transport system. This includes

relatively cheap buses, a modern Metrolink

tram system and an extensive train network

with connections throughout the UK.

…AND BEYOND THE CITYManchester is a great base from which to

explore the rest of the UK. There are four

national parks within an hour’s drive or a

short train journey, including the naturally

stunning Peak District, Lake District, and

Snowdonia in North Wales. London is just

two hours by train and the historic cities of

York and Chester, and the unique Blackpool

seaside resort are also within easy reach.

For those who wish to explore further

afield, Manchester International Airport has

daily flights serving 200 destinations and

a frequent service to London Heathrow, as

well as to most major European cities.

Cheshire campus, with lots of student

events, and a lively café and shop.

For more information on the Students’ Union:

www.theunionmmu.org

SPORT AND ACTIVITIES There are university sports facilities on both

the Manchester and Cheshire campuses, with

access to an athletics track and swimming

pool. These are available for you to use at a

discounted student price and with flexible

membership options. You will have access to

badminton, squash, netball and basketball

courts, as well as indoor football pitches.

The Cheshire campus also boasts 3G outdoor

pitches, an eight-court sports hall, fitness

suite and sports injury clinic.

With over 60 sports clubs, the Students’

Union has one of the widest ranges of sports

and activities in the region, both recreational

and competitive. You’ll find everything from

archery to water polo, and from Chinese

boxing to Wing Tsun – and if your sport isn’t

provided, the Students’ Union can help you

set up a new club.

INTERNATIONAL SOCIETYInternational students from all the

universities and colleges in Manchester come

together in our International Society. The

society hosts regular social events, arranges

community-based projects, and organises

trips to other places of interest such as

Shakespeare’s home of Stratford-upon-Avon

and the Lake District, north of Manchester.

A VIBRANT AND DIVERSE COMMUNITY Manchester is one of the most diverse and

multicultural cities in the UK. It is home to

restaurants and supermarkets from all over

the world, and societies such as the Islamic

Society and African-Caribbean Society

regularly organise cultural events and

social activities. We are sure you will

My life at INTO

INTERNATIONAL NETWORK My friends are from all over the world like China, Vietnam, Spain, Russia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Turkey and we’re all doing different subjects which makes our conversations really interesting. I have so many new contacts in my phone, there is always someone to talk to or go out with.

“I can’t imagine going straight to university without this programme. It has given me such a good background.”


CREATIVE INSPIRATION I love my lessons in the art studio. Whatever the theme of the project given to us by the teacher, you can choose a passion you like to help create it. You become so dedicated to creativity. I stayed until 9pm to finish the first assignment, but it felt like I had really achieved something.

PASSION FOR FASHION People can wear what they want in Manchester and nobody will say a word. I feel my style is more free and more colourful here. The Arndale Centre is the best place for shopping as there are so many cool shops with all sorts of types of clothing. I like going there with my friends at the weekend.

BEYOND MANCHESTER I’ve visited Scotland with some of my classmates and we went to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Loch Ness. I’ve also been to the seaside in Brighton which was fun. The memory card on my camera is full of lots of pictures of the places I’ve been to.
