Manchester Metropolitan University is the largest campus-based undergraduate university in the UK with a total student population of more than 37,000. Our claim is to be the University for World Class professionals with an emphasis on vocational education and employability.  The central All Saints campus is situated close to Manchester’s city centre. There are five further campus locations, four which are in southern of the city and a campus in Cheshire, 36 miles (58 km) from Manchester.

The Geoffrey Manton Building is situated on the All Saints Campus, Manchester located off Oxford Road.  The main entrance leads directly onto a generous reception area and the atrium.  A guide to the campus buildings can be downloaded here.
