With shared traditions of industry, innovation, creativity and inclusivity, Manchester Met is very much a reflection of the city in which we are located.

An environment for you to thrive

We’ve created an amazing place for you to learn and achieve your personal best. Recently opened facilities include a seven-storey purpose-built space for some of our Arts and Humanities disciplines, providing a new home for inspirational teaching, with fully equipped theatre spaces, and TV and radio studios, plus the new Manchester Poetry Library.

In 2021, we welcomed our first students into our new School of Digital Arts (SODA), a £35m investment in the future of digital storytelling, and in early 2022 we opened the new Institute of Sport, a centre of excellence for sport-related research, education and knowledge exchange. In 2023 we expect to open our new Science and Engineering building, complete with contemporary teaching spaces, modern laboratories (including a 200-seat super lab), and social and self-directed learning areas.
