Exchange landing page

We offer a range of student exchange programmes, from two weeks to 12 months. 

If you are currently studying at university in your home country and would like to experience studying and living in the UK, we can offer you a range of opportunities.

If there is an existing student exchange arrangement with your home university, you may be able to study with us as an exchange student. If we do not have an agreement with your home university, you will still be able to study with us independently through our Study Abroad programme and International Summer Schools.

Our programmes give you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience life and study somewhere new, and can bring many benefits. 

We look forward to welcoming you to Manchester.

Why exchange to Manchester Met?

Our outstanding city-centre campus is close to world-class arts, eating, shopping and sports venues. Our teaching is led by experienced professionals who use their industry links to ensure our courses are relevant for global employment.

Important information about accommodation

If you are planning to study at Manchester Met for a semester, finding short-term accommodation can be challenging. We work with Manchester Student Homes and will provide guidance about short-term housing once you receive your offer. 

If you are joining us for the full year, subject to availability, you are eligible to apply for on-campus housing.
