Located in the heart of Manchester, the INTO Center is where you’ll begin your study abroad journey.
We offer tailored pathway programs for international students, helping you build the academic knowledge, English language skills and confidence needed to continue to your degree at The University of Manchester.
Welcome to our state-of-the-art environment, in Manchester's city center and close to The University of Manchester's vibrant campus. Study alongside other students from around the world, with expert teaching and tailored support to help you succeed.
From academic guidance to wellbeing and help navigating life in the UK, we offer a range of support services to help you settle in and succeed.
Make the most of your time in the UK by meeting new people, exploring Manchester and enjoying experiences beyond your studies.
Throughout the year, you can take part in a range of social activities and events. They're a great way to make friends, discover new interests and experience student life in Manchester and beyond.

Whether you want to join a free social event or explore somewhere new at the weekend, you'll find a range of activities to suit different interests and budgets. While many activities can be enjoyed for free, some trips and activities have an extra cost, depending on what you're doing and what's included.

"The Welfare Team gave me a wonderful experience. I didn’t need to make an appointment to see them – I could pop by their office and they would assist, provide solutions or simply chat with me about everyday life.”
