Our story is one of world firstsand brilliant discoveries. Intotal, 25 Nobel Prize winnershave worked or studied here.

Manchester is the birthplace of nuclear physics,where Ernest Rutherford first split the atom. The world’s first stored-program computer wasdeveloped here, and Alan Turing pioneered artificialintelligence during his time at the University.

Our observatory at Jodrell Bank is home to the iconicLovell Telescope: the biggest telescope of its type inthe world when it was built, and set to be the centralcontrol hub for the world’s largest radio telescope –the Square Kilometre Array.

Economist Arthur Lewis became the first blackprofessor at a British university when he joined us,and published his most influential works while atManchester.

Christabel Pankhurst, a Manchester law graduateunable to enter the profession on account of hersex, became one of the suffragette movement’smost committed campaigners.

And we’re still producing notable postgraduatealumni today. These include: Tesco ChairmanRichard Broadbent; Oxfam’s Humanitarian DirectorJane Cocking; TV/film comedy writers JesseArmstrong and Sam Bain; Ann Coffey, Labour MP forStockport; Professor Brian Cox, physicist and TVpresenter; and HE George Maxwell Richards, thefourth President of Trinidad and Tobago.

With a degree from The University of Manchesteryou’ll become part of this distinguished club, whosecollective achievements as academics, businessleaders, social reformers, entrepreneurs, politicians,creative artists, policy makers and more have helpedshape the history of the modern world.

Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell is President andVice-Chancellor of the University, and adistinguished life scientist with a specialism inneuroscience.

Born and educated in Lancashire, Dame Nancyjoined The University of Manchester in 1987. Shestudied and worked in London for a while, beforereturning to the north west of England. She holdsvarious senior positions, including President of theSociety of Biology, Co-Chair of the Council forScience and Technology and a non-executivedirectorship at AstraZeneca.

“From my experience, some other major cities arenot particularly friendly – at least, not likeManchester. There’s a ‘go and do’ attitude at theUniversity, but there’s also a strong sense that valuesmatter, integrity matters here. Manchester hasmade me less selfish.

“The University is very strong in life sciences; bynational measures, it’s certainly in the top three inthe UK. It’s all integrated, with fabulous new buildingsand fantastic equipment. From a researcher’sperspective, it’s ideal, as you can easily work acrossdisciplines with experts in so many different areas.

“People think of science as being quite lonely, but it’scertainly not at Manchester. In fact, it’s very sociable,because you’re always working in teams. Ourpostgraduates can both carve out their own nicheand benefit from a supportive network ofcolleagues.”

Our research impact

Whether we're finding the energy solutions oftomorrow, influencing the national nuclear agenda,exploring the diverse potentials of a new wonder-material, or spearheading the fight against cancer,Manchester researchers make a difference toeconomies, societies and cultures across the globe.Here are just a few examples of the impact ouracademics are having on the world today.

FIRST GRAPHENE PRODUCTS HIT THE MARKET

Manchester researchers Sir Andre Geim and Sir Konstantin Novoselov won the Nobel Prize in2010 for groundbreaking achievements regardinggraphene. This material’s remarkable properties(strong, light, near-transparent, and an excellentconductor of heat and electricity) make it ideal forapplications in electronics, medicine, renewableenergy and chemistry. Products to date includegraphene-based touch screens and a graphene-based conductive ink for printed electronics; around8,000 graphene-related patents indicate many moreproducts to come.

MULTILINGUAL MANCHESTER

We’re examining Manchester's language diversity -the challenges it poses to community cohesion and the opportunities it offers to increase culturalawareness and economic growth. Involving studentsdirectly in our research, we’ve created the world’slargest online archive of reports on urbanmultilingualism. Many local institutions such ashospitals, schools, and community organisationshave consulted this resource for information on how to improve the delivery of public services tominority communities.

AIDING DRUG DISCOVERY WITH NEW MOLECULAR TECHNOLOGY

Traditional methods of determining a drug’s three-dimensional molecular structure can take years toachieve results. But Manchester researchers havedeveloped an improved method using nuclearmagnetic resonance data, which determines theconfirmation of drugs within weeks. Spin-outcompany C4X Discovery secured several million

pounds in private investment, and now provides paidservices to several of the world’s pharmaceutical andbiotechnological companies.

BRINGING THE SKIES DOWN TO EARTH

Our Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre attracts 150,000visitors, including 15,000 schoolchildren, each year.Its public engagement programme – which includesastronomy exhibitions, schools programmes, publiclectures, mainstream media involvement and anationally acclaimed summer festival of music andscience – is estimated to have brought £8 million tothe local economy over the last three years, andcreated 26 new jobs.

PRESERVING WILDLIFE, PROTECTING CULTURE

The reconstruction and expansion of the Timburi-Cocha Research Station in Ecuador, funded byresearchers from Manchester, has providedemployment for local people and facilitated

biodiversity research in an area of high endemism.Vital discoveries of new species and the recording oflocal wildlife have armed the local government withthe evidence needed to discourage oil and goldcompanies from investigating the region.

INCREASING ACCESS TOPSYCHOLOGICAL TREATMENT

Manchester researchers’ work on cognitivebehavioural therapy has shaped government policyon mental health. More than one million people havebenefited from the Improved Access toPsychological Therapies initiative, set up in line withour recommendations. Ground-breaking projectsinclude the first guided self-help clinics inManchester, and telephone-delivered therapies thathave helped to target hard-to-reach groups. Morethan 2,000 mental health practitioners andtherapists have been trained, and we have helpedcompanies and charities such as BT and Anxiety UKto develop their telephone and Skype services.

INVESTING CHOCOLATE WITH SOCIO-ECONOMIC VALUE

Cadbury commissioned Manchester researchers toinvestigate the social and economic sustainability ofcocoa production. Our findings led to majororganisational changes: Cadbury have since certifiedtheir main products as Fairtrade, the Cadbury Cocoapartnership invested £45 million to support cocoagrowers over the next decade, and Cadburycommitted £3 million in social premiums to aFairtrade-certified cooperative. Nestlé and Marssoon followed suit; together these three companieshave increased Fairtrade chocolate sales threefoldsince 2008.

INHALED THERAPIES FOR AIRWAY DISEASES

Manchester research has led to safer, more effectiveand better-targeted treatments for patientssuffering from asthma and chronic obstructivepulmonary disease. One study on house dust-miteavoidance is estimated to have prevented patientsand health services worldwide from wasting billions

of pounds on asthma treatments that were shownnot to work. Professor Ashley Woodcock’s work withthe International Panel for Climate Change, phasingout CFCs from inhalers, secured him a share in the2007 Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of the globalenvironmental impact of his research.

ARTIFICIAL LIGHT WITH BIOLOGICALRHYTHM

It has long been known that light activates specificreceptors in the eye called rods and cones. However,neuroscience researchers at Manchester have nowshown that a third type of light receptor isresponsible for important sub-conscious responsesto light, including synchronising the body’s naturalrhythms to the light-dark cycle. Unnatural light canhave a profound influence on health, productivityand well-being. Our researchers are working withlighting manufacturers to develop artificial lights thatwill activate these receptors and make them moresuitable for our biological needs.



IMPROVING EMERGENCY AID WORLDWIDE

Manchester researchers provided a new perspectiveon emergency aid by looking at the historical roots ofhumanitarian responses. Findings have influencedhow humanitarian efforts and technologies areorganised and carried out today; they also led to thecreation of our Humanitarian and Conflict ResponseInstitute, and developed the International EmergencyTrauma register for UK health professionals willing toassist in overseas emergencies.

TRANSITIVE TECHNOLOGY FOR BINARYTRANSLATIONOnce described by Steve Jobs as “The most amazingsoftware you'll never see,” Rosetta – a binary translationsoftware developed by Manchester spin-out companyTransitive – was used in approximately 25 million Maccomputers between 2006 and 2009, during whichperiod sales of Apple computers doubled. TheTransitive software supported the transition by Appleto Intel processors by allowing existing Mac software torun on their new Intel-based computers.

CUTTING DRUGS COSTS FOR NHS PATIENTS

Manchester researchers have helped to cut the costof prescription drugs for thousands of NHS patients.We are at the forefront of UK research into accessto medicines and the impact of prescription charges.This has led to a key policy change on how peoplepay for medicines, including the introduction of anew monthly direct-debit scheme and the launch ofa three-month certificate to deal with shorter-termproblems.

Moyin came to Manchester from Hong Kong tostudy for a master’s in Art Management. She wenton to complete an internship in the Directorate forthe Student Experience, a placement she wonthrough the Manchester Graduate InternshipProgramme, before securing a permanent role inthe Faculty of Life Sciences.

“A big focus of my master’s was on networking andgetting to know organisations in the local culturalscene. I’m particularly lucky because I got aplacement at the Whitworth Art Gallery workingdirectly under the Head of Development, who gaveme many chances to meet people from differentorganisations. Local practitioners from the ArtsCouncil were also on the course, which was a sign ofconfidence in the course in terms of employabilityand practicality.

“I chose Manchester because it’s a vibrant,affordable city. I had offers from institutions inLondon, but some of my friends from Hong Kongwho had done similar programmes there felt it’s toobusy a city and it took some time to get used to lifethere. I love Manchester’s Chinatown – I can getCantonese food there that’s sometimes better thanI would get in Hong Kong!

“Manchester should be really proud of its culturaldiversity and inclusivity. The local friends I’ve madeare so warm and welcoming – they even made me acake for my birthday – as are the staff and studentsI’ve studied and worked with. I think this is reallyspecial and something that you don’t get elsewhere.

“The Careers Service really helped me with writingapplications and refining my job search. I consultedthem when I began applying for placements throughthe Manchester Graduate Internship Programme,and I think this helped me get a high number ofinterviews. I have since joined the Faculty of LifeSciences to work on international marketing. I feellike I’m realising my dreams.”

State-of-the-art facilities and a sterling reputationlured Russell to Manchester as an undergraduate –and made sure he stayed. The university’s bustlingsocial scene in a city where he “never gets bored”proved the icing on the cake.

“I chose Manchester because it’s one of the worldleaders in medical biochemistry – and I’m still here forthe same reason. I loved my undergraduate degree,but then I did my master’s and that gave me a realtaste for scientific research. After that I knew Iwanted to do a PhD.

“I took a year out working as a lab assistant, and thencame back to do research in inflammation and repair.It’s essentially a tissue engineering project looking atusing stem cells to grow intervertebral discs. Around40 per cent of bad backs are caused by damagedintervertebral discs and it’s a massive problem, whichcosts billions to treat.

“My PhD is fully funded by Manchester’s AlumniAssociation, which offered me a Research ImpactScholarship – and I was also lucky enough to get aPresident’s Doctoral Scholarship Award. It not onlyhelps with living costs, but also gives me access tospecial training courses and networking events,which are hugely useful.

“Outside my studies, I’ve been chair and secretary ofthe Faculty of Life Sciences Society, and I’m now thechair of the Faculty of Human Sciences GraduateSociety. We put on a range of events, including an‘elevator pitch’ series at local secondary schoolswhere we have a minute to explain our research –about the same time it would take an elevator to goup a 20-storey building. It’s a bit scary, but we’retrying to remove the stereotypes around sciencebeing geeky to encourage young kids to go into it.

“The fact is we don’t just stay in labs being boring! I’vehad a great time here and I wouldn’t change a thingabout it.”

TYPES OF TAUGHT COURSES

Taught master’s degreesThese courses usually last for 12 months full-time, or24 months part-time, making them more intensive,efficient and cost-effective than the two-year full-time options offered in most other countries.

Taught master’s degrees usually involve twosemesters of classes and assessed work, followedby four or five months’ research, culminating in adissertation or project. The balance of taught andresearch elements and the methods of assessmentvary from course to course.

Taught master’s degrees at Manchester include:

• Master of Arts (MA)• Master of Business Administration (MBA)• Master of Education (MEd)• Master of Science (MSc)• Master of Law (LLM)• Master of Music (MusM)

Our MBA lasts 18 months full-time and up to fiveyears part-time.

Our Master of Research (MRes) is slightly different,enabling you to undertake extensive researchtraining and subject-specific advanced learning witha view to proceeding to doctoral research. See‘Postgraduate research programmes’ for details(page 40).

Postgraduate diplomas and certificatesDiplomas usually last nine months, and certificatesusually last six months. Many courses cover generalareas of study; others are more specialised, such asthe Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE).They can be structured in a similar way to master’scourses, but without the need for a dissertation; or,as with the PGCE, they may be specificallyvocational.

Faith’s dream is to become a world-class researchscientist and develop a vaccine against the HIVvirus that has ravaged her native Uganda. InManchester she has made academic connectionsthat have already set her on that path. It has, shesays, been “life-changing”.

“I got interested in HIV studying bio-medicallaboratory technology at Makerere University inUganda. Then I worked for three years at the UgandaVirus Research Institute.

“My country is struggling with infectious diseases likeHIV/Aids, malaria and tuberculosis, and vaccinedevelopment is considered the most feasible solution– yet only tuberculosis has one at present. I decided Iwanted to continue my research into vaccines againsttropical diseases, and HIV in particular.

“The master’s course I wanted to do simply wasn’tavailable anywhere at home and I was thrilled to beoffered an Equity and Merit Scholarship to come toManchester.

“The course content was very relevant to my futureambitions and fitted very well. I’ve been able to makegood networks and connections in terms of the workI’m doing and my future career. I’ve been able to talkto some outstanding professors and read someworld-class journals. It’s opened my eyes and mademe more optimistic about what lies ahead.

“After my master’s I would like to do a PhD in vaccineresearch specifically for HIV. What is happening inthe scientific world shows me it is achievable. I needto return to Uganda first, but I would love to comeback and do my PhD here. It’s at the cutting edge of research.

“I’d never been to Manchester or the UK before and Ilike a lot about its diverse culture. It’s a cosmopolitancity, and socially too I’ve been enlightened.

“I’m a scholarship ambassador for the Alan GilbertScholarship and for the University at large, and that’senabled me to give something back. I tell anyonelooking for a university: Manchester is THE place to be.”

Omar’s research has relevance in fields far beyondacademia. His work on land-mine detection couldhelp save lives around the world. It’s taken him tosome unusual places too.

“I was attracted to Manchester by its reputation andthe city life. The quality and the amount of researchthat they do here is phenomenal. I actually did myundergraduate degree here; once I finished that Ithought it’d be a shame not to carry on.

“I’m working on an intelligent discriminating land-mine detector. The work is funded by the Find aBetter Way charity, which was founded inManchester by Sir Bobby Charlton to support theextraction of land-mines. I didn’t realise I’d beinvolved in so many activities beyond my research –when the charity launched, we went to Lloyd’s ofLondon to talk with these guys who were making ahuge donation. I’ve recently visited the House ofCommons to present the project to MPs. I’m evenrunning a 10k race to raise awareness!

“Manchester is a diverse city. I’m from Alexandria inEgypt and so, coming from a big city, I like the factthat there is a lot to do. There is a big studentinfluence and population here; a lot of similarly agedpeople at similar positions in their lives. Outside myresearch, I’m part of the University’s swimming andwater polo teams, which is good socially and keepsme fit.

“My career prospects have changed. I’m consideringeither going into research or doing consultancy,whereas before I was going to go into oil and gas orelectricity.

Manchester hit all the right buttons for Julia, whocredits an “incredibly lovely and welcoming”English department for allowing her to switchhalfway through an undergraduate degree inPaderborn in Germany. Five “magical” years latershe is still here.

“I self-funded a year abroad here in 2009 because Iwanted to do more linguistics, and Manchester wasdoing exactly the kind of things I was interested in.Transferring from Paderborn was somewhatcomplicated, but I eventually finished my BA in 2011,secured funding for an MA in Linguistics and thenagain for my PhD in English Language.

“My main reasons for staying were the high quality ofthe teaching and supervision. There is an expert inany area of linguistics that interests you and they areall approachable and friendly. I can just knock onsomebody’s door and ask their opinion.

“I also get the opportunity to teach, giving seminarsand tutorials to accompany lectures forundergraduates, and I’ve discovered I really enjoystanding in front of people and delivering content.

“I was also able to evolve outside my specialism.There is a huge departmental life, which fosters agreat community spirit. I’m into sports, especiallylong-distance cycling, and it’s lovely to exploreplaces like the Lake District and Cheshire. There issuch great access to rural areas.

“I also do a lot of outreach work and am a Fellow withthe University’s Widening Participation programme,which has allowed me to communicate my researchand that of my colleagues to young learners inschools. Think science communication!

“You’re not just stuck in a library for three years, andthat’s what’s great about Manchester. I thoroughlyrecommend it. “

“Research is always evolving – I started in developmentalbiology and now I’m workingin disease process. I see thatgoing on for quite a number of years, but surely it’ll evolveand we’ll find new things.Wherever that takes me, I hopeI’ll still be in Manchester atthat time.”

Karen has supervised PhD, MRes and even BScstudents across a range of medical researchprojects. She believes this breadth is somethingthat she’d only be able to find at Manchester.

“Manchester has such a wonderful breadth ofresearch. I moved up from The University ofSouthampton about five years ago. There wereseveral universities which were becoming interested,but for me there was only one that I wanted to cometo and that was Manchester.

“The standard of lecturers and the exposure to otherresearchers that you will find at Manchester isphenomenal. The fact we have Nobel Prize winnerson our staff – even if they’re outside your immediateresearch environment, you can’t help but feelinspired by their stories.

“This is the place to come for facilities. They are run very well. Our Faculty is forward-thinking, you can see its vision – new things are always developing,and it’ll try and get some funding to put someinfrastructure together. The research facilities are wonderful and they are constantly beingupgraded. You’ll be working in some of the best labs in the country.

“My point of view is you have got to be interested inwhat you come here to do. When you’re deciding ona course or programme, you’ve got to get out thereand find something that’s right for you. Knock on afew doors; have a look on our website and see who isrunning the course or research that you want to do.See if you can get involved in it – and if someone says“no” the first time round, then have another go! “

“Manchester is a bigdepartment with lots of peopleyou can talk with who all dodifferent things. That’s usuallyhow a physicist works best –you think, discuss, anddiscussions bring fruit.”

Kostya works in our School of Physics andAstronomy. He received the Nobel Prize for Physicsin 2010 and a knighthood in 2012 in recognition ofhis work with Manchester colleague ProfessorAndre Geim on the revolutionary super-materialgraphene. When not dealing with internationalfame, he is devoted to his research, works with hispostgraduate students, and watches The Big BangTheory.

“The work that got us the Nobel Prize, we started inManchester. It was originally a side experiment fromour mainstream work – we always have a few sideexperiments going, small things, sometimes crazy.

“I think this is within the culture of the British system.You are allowed to do those crazy experiments,which allows you to be creative.

“The main reason you should come here is thequality. You just have to look at my colleagues, or theleague tables. The fact that it’s a huge place is anadditional benefit.

“You always have experts in any field you need. If youwant to study a masters or PhD, you have a greatchoice of people to learn with here. Postgraduatecourses are also often run using the sameequipment as we use for our scientific experiments,which is world class.”
