manchester university crestWith over 63,000 undergraduate applications each year, The University of Manchester is the most popular university in the United Kingdom according to UCAS. Unsurprisingly Manchester University is also home to the country's largest Student Union (UMSU). The University boasts over 500 degree programmes and harbours a growing total of 4 million books across the University libraries. Every first year undergraduate is guaranteed a place in one of the University's numerous accommodation halls, reaching 9,000 rooms.

The University of Manchester was created as a combination of The Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST, resulting in a large and powerful educational institution. As £300m of investment continues to be ploughed into the university, it is able to compete with the world's best universities. There is a fantastic array of choice for students at Manchester due to the scale, and a large and growing pool of resources and facilities. 

The University of Manchester aims to be within the top 25 universities in the world by the year 2015, and is rapidly expanding academic and research facilities around the campus in a £350m programme.
