Student life
The UK, and particularly Manchester, is a diverse and multicultural place which is home to several thousand international students each year.
Because of this, we have a range of facilities suitable for students of all cultures.
International Society
The International Society was founded in 1966 to look after the welfare of international students during their time in Manchester and Salford. Run by students, it provides an atmosphere where people from all over the world can make friends and learn about different cultures. There is a drop in centre, a hospitality scheme, a women's group and the Society organises trips to places of interest.
