In addition to 25 Nobel prizes (ten for physics, nine for chemistry, three for physiology/medicine and three for economics), the university’s pioneering work is extensive, and Manchester offers substantial opportunities for intellectually curious students amidst a friendly, networked and ambitious community.
With more clubs and societies than any other university (480+) and ranked as the most targeted university by graduate recruiting companies more frequently than any other university (High Fliers 2006 – 2019), the University of Manchester’s vibrant and dynamic environment can lead to outstanding experiences both during and after studies.
