Run by students for students, we get what it’s like to make a fresh start. That’s why we’ll be here alongside you every step of the way. Creating memories, championing your voices, and celebrating what makes you you!
We’ll be launching our events programme on the 1st of August.
Whether you love to go out-out or prefer something more relaxed, we’ve got events suited for everyone. Think Fairs full of freebies, speedfriending with your Faculty, drag brunches, boozy bingo and much more...
Join our SU Events Instagram Broadcast Channel to find out what’s on on campus and the local area.
WELCOME! We’ve been dying to meet you all summer, and we’re so happy you’ve chosen Manchester.
We’re your Students Union - in short, a community-powered organisation with your interests at heart. We’re here to represent you and help you make the best memories at Manchester! A friend to lean on - we represent your voices, always have your back, work to improve your Uni experience, and fuel all the cool stuff in-between. That includes your Freshers experience, nights-outs, events and access to 300+ clubs and societies!
We know that moving to Uni is a big change, and big changes can be daunting. Like all scary things, most of the time it’s best just to throw yourself in. Kick off your Uni experience with everything Welcome Week and Freshers has on offer.
We guarantee you’ll meet some new mates and have an amazing time!
A big hello from Manchester and your SU community!
We know that moving to a new city or country can be overwhelming, and it’s normal to feel a bit homesick. You’ve made a great choice though, as Manchester was recently voted the 2nd Friendliest City in the world! Manchester’s Northern charm should help you feel at home in no time.
Whether you’ve come from overseas or elsewhere in the U.K, our top tip is to throw yourself in! Get involved with all the events and activities on offer - this is the number 1 way to make new friends.
If you’re after a bit of extra support, our Help & Support team are always just a message away.
Welcome - all postgrads! Whether you’re straight into a master’s following your undergrad or returning to Uni after a few years out - we’re here to support you like everyone else!
We know that postgrad study can be intense. That’s why we’ve pulled together all the essential info about life as a Manchester postgraduate student.
Hello to all our part-timers, commuters and remote studiers!
Even if you don’t spend as much time on campus this year, know that we will still be by your side every step of the way!
If you start to feel a bit isolated (as we all do sometimes), then joining a club, society or online event can help you connect with other students! Get on socials and sign-up to one of Manchester’s online communities, like our SU insta page.
Welcome!
We’re so happy you’ve decided to join us! Whether you’re a new-comer or returning to Uni for a career change, it’s never too late to reignite that passion, make new friends and fulfil your potential.
We know it can feel a bit weird as a mature student when campus is buzzing with younger faces! Age is just a number at the end of the day though, so don’t be afraid to join a society if there’s something you’re interested in - we promise everyone is welcome!
We’re handy for that insider take on the latest places to be,
but we’ve also got your back when you need it.
JobShop can connect you with part-time employers and answer all those job-related questions you don’t know who to ask.
Our Student Angels are here whilst you take on Manchester’s nightlife. They can help you find lost friends, or re-charge your dead phone battery.
