Vision
Welcome to The University of Manchester. Created by a merger of two of the UK’s highly distinguished research universities, it is set to become a world-class institution with an international reputation to be proud of. UMIST and The Victoria University of Manchester had the president and vice-chancellor’s profound admiration for their vision and courage when they took this bold step, which will no doubt substantially change the higher education landscape.
The prospect of enhancing academic and research excellence was the primary driver of the merger and will remain a major objective. In key research areas where the strengths of two former universities coincide, the resulting increase in scale promises to create the kind of ‘critical mass’ research capability that sustains world-class infrastructure and expertise.
