Get ready

As exciting as starting university is, we understand it can feel a bit overwhelming at times too.

That’s ok, nobody expects you to know everything all at once, and we’re here with you every step of the way. That said, there are a few practical things we need you to complete in your first few weeks to get things started.

Things you can do right away:

  • Apply for accommodation
  • Plan your finances and research the financial support available
  • Apply for your visa
  • Plan how you're going to get to Manchester

Things you can do once you have your activation email (arriving late August):

  • Activate your IT account
  • Confirm your attendance
  • Register as a student
