Our widening participation team can deliver a wide range of services to targeted, pre-16 pupils, including:

visits to the Manchester Met campus
subject-specific exercises designed using expertise from our faculties

Access and participation

We are committed to fair access and to supporting students from disadvantaged backgrounds, helping them get to - and succeed at - university.

Our access and participation plans are regularly reviewed and submitted to the Office for Students.

The plans outline our commitments on outreach, student success and progression, including the fees we charge and financial support we offer to students who study at Manchester Met.
