Welcome to the Institute of Sport
Harnessing expertise across the world of sport to push boundaries, improve lives and shape society
Sport is a discipline of vast variety and huge power. It’s a world of entertainment and economics, of competition and community.
Here, in the centre of Manchester, a city of sport, we have built a world-class institute to champion everything that sport can do – from strengthening communities and building a healthier society, to inspiring the next generation and pushing the limits of human performance.
This is a home for sport without boundaries, a place built to make a real impact on the world around us. Welcome to the Manchester Metropolitan University Institute of Sport.
