A Guide to Studying Abroad in Manchester

What you need to know to study in Manchester

Manchester is the North’s hidden gem and there is plenty to keep you occupied both academically and socially. 

Popular subjects to study. Students of any discipline will find ample opportunities to study in Manchester. Popular subjects to study in Manchester includes business, music, physics, and computer science. The business schools in Manchester offer a range of courses that are internationally respected and suit every need. You can also find well-respected music schools. And did you know many of the local universities are home to several physicists to conducting Nobel Prize winning research?

Short term and summer programs vs. long term programs. A semester in Manchester will give you chance to dip your toe into the “Mancunian” way of life. During that time you can explore the museums, eat and drink your way round the Northern Quarter, and catch some of the many sporting events on offer.

Studying abroad long term in Manchester, like a full academic year, will give you all sorts of benefits. You’ll have ample time to enjoy nearby hot spots like the Peak District, Liverpool, and North Wales. Don’t forget to take advantage of the sport opportunities on offer in Manchester (watching and partaking). Football, cycling, rock climbing, and running races are all up for grabs. Remember though, by the end of the year in Manchester, you’ll have to decide whether you are a United or City fan—and will need the football shirt to prove it. 

Attending universities vs. other program types. Within Manchester, there are several well-respected universities that will allow you to experience the British education system and British university environment. You can study at one of these institutions through a study program at your university, through directly enrolling at the university, or through a third party company, like the ones listed here.
