Admissions policies and procedures
Manchester Metropolitan University Contextual Admissions
At Manchester Metropolitan University, our mission is to recruit ambitious students from all backgrounds and to inspire and support them to achieve their potential. Outstanding educational provision and a transformative student experience lie at the heart of our ambition to become the best modern University in the UK. Equality of opportunity is central to everything we do and we have extensive interventions and engagements in place to support under-represented groups into and through the University.
We treat all applicants equally and are committed to fair access. Where we are unable to offer a place on the chosen course, we will seek to make an alternative offer if possible.
We recognise that some students will experience particular challenges in their lives which may have an adverse impact on their predicted grades and/or exam performance. We will consider any issues we are made aware of, as well as the contextual data we have on applicants, at the confirmation phase of the admissions process and may make allowances at this point. If you are an applicant or offer holder and you want to make us aware of any issue you would like us to take into consideration, please contact the relevant admissions team.
Check your key course information
Our printed prospectus is intended to provide an overview of our courses and the University. It is created well in advance of the start of the academic year and therefore the information reflects the courses as they were at that time.
The online prospectus provides key up-to-date material to help you make an informed decision about which course to apply for.
Check your course information on our online prospectus before accepting your offer of a place.
