Known as the world's first industrial city, Manchester has emerged as a global hub for music, culture, sports, arts and – of course – world-class education.
World-famous football clubs, iconic live music venues, authentic international food and a vibrant arts scene are just a few of the things that make studying abroad in Manchester an unforgettable experience.
Whoever you are and whatever you enjoy, you’ll find a million things to love about Manchester.
The city center is easy to explore by foot. You can also use the affordable and efficient Metrolink (Manchester's very own tram network) or extensive bus network to visit the various parts of the city and its surrounding suburbs.
If you plan to travel further afield, it’s easy to get to Manchester Airport – offering direct flights to 199+ destinations across the world.
