Applying to Study in Manchester

Manchester is on the hunt for some of the world’s best talent across a wide number of industries, from digital to drama, life sciences to literature. 

The application process is similar across all of our universities, and can be completed through the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS). Through this system, you can search for courses to apply for, or you can search directly in each universities website. 

Once you have decided on the course(s), you will also need to apply through the UCAS system. Your application will consist of at least personal details, education, employment, course choices, personal statement and references

There is an application fee of £13 if you’re applying to just one course, or £24 for multiple courses and for late applications sent after 30 June, and applications generally need to be completed and submitted by mid-January for the majority of courses beginning in Autumn of that year. 

You will likely be invited to an interview for your selected course, and then will receive a conditional offer (subject to achieving the required grades), unconditional offer, or rejection.
