Manchester Metropolitan University often abbreviated MMU is a public university located in Manchester, England. The university traces its origins to the Manchester Mechanics Institute and the Manchester School of Design, which formed Manchester Polytechnicin 1970. Manchester Polytechnic then gained university status under the government's Further and Higher Education Act, becoming the Manchester Metropolitan University in 1992. Today, it is headquartered in the city of Manchester, with additional facilities in Cheshire.
Manchester Metropolitan University is an accredited member of the Association of MBAs, and member of the University Alliance, the Association of Commonwealth Universities, the North West Universities Association, Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business and the European University Association.
Today, it is also home to the Manchester School of Art, the Manchester School of Theatre, as well as the Manchester School of Architecture (MSA) administered in collaboration with the University of Manchester.
Courses
Admission
The minimum standard entry requirements for postgraduate courses are set out below, but each course entry also gives details of the typical entry requirements, so it’s important to read that as well to determine whether you meet the entry requirements for the course.
This is particularly important when courses lead to an award from a professional body as they may have specific entry requirements for the course.
In some cases work experience or success in other fields can be accepted as equivalent to formal qualifications.
Satisfying the entry requirements is not a guarantee of a place. In more popular areas of study, you may be required to achieve grades higher than the minimum requirements and in many cases, you will have to go through an audition, interview or present your portfolio as part of the selection process.
