Accommodation
The accommodation available in Manchester is one of the many advantages of studying here. At The University of Manchester we offer a greater number of places in university owned accommodation than any other university in the country. There are more than 9,200 places available, almost all of which are within two or three miles of the university campus.
The accommodation available ranges from modern, self-catering flats, right through to traditional collegiate-style Halls of Residence. Your Hall is the place where you'll meet new friends and spend a lot of your free time. They are self contained communities with their own bars, common rooms and a hectic programme of social activities.
See the University Accommodation website for more information.
English Courses
The University of Manchester offers English Language Support to improve the English of those who wish to study here.
