Student Support Hub
Our Student Support Hub team is on-hand to offer guidance and support.
We advise on all aspects of student life, from programme queries, mitigating circumstances and support and wellbeing to disability and academic skills support.
Get in touch with us via:
- Email: seed.hub@manchester.ac.uk
- Phone: +44 (0) 161 275 2817 (available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm)
If you would like to visit us in person, you can find your Student Support Hub at the Humanities Bridgeford Street building, on the ground floor.
We are open Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm.
There are also a wide range of support services across the university, so please take a moment to familiarise yourself with some of what is available to you:
As you join the University you are required to complete pre-enrolment.
This is where we scan originals of your passport, immigration permission (visa), and the qualifications that helped you get an offer for your course (these would normally be the certificates/transcripts listed on your CAS).
The scanned documents are kept securely on your student record as part of our license requirements with UKVI.
If you are an overseas, study abroad, or exchange student, you must attend pre-enrolment before you can complete online enrolment with the University and begin your studies.
You can find out more on the Manchester Met website: Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU)

- Tailored support for specific communities, e.g. care experienced students, estranged students, commuter students and disabled students.
- 93% Club is a student-led society focusing on social mobility and improving university experiences for state-school students.
