About Manchester
Manchester, a city with something for everyone!
It is essential for our learners to experience, understand and appreciate life in England, both in a social and business context: Manchester is the perfect place. The second city in the UK and the regional capital of the North West of England, Manchester was the cradle of the industrial revolution. It has kept a strong industrial heritage and continues to have a big impact on the British economy – the ideal place to study Business English.
Manchester has transformed its landscape to become one of the liveliest and most modern cities in Britain. It mixes the old with the new and offers something for everyone from its renowned theatres, clubs, galleries, museums and music to its impressive shopping centres, cosmopolitan cafés and restaurants. It also counts the largest student population in the UK and because of the excellent reputation of its universities, a large proportion of students from all over the world come to study here, making it a truly cosmopolitan city.
With a major international airport as well as two smaller ones nearby, three railway stations, a brand new Metro system and at the hub of the national motorway network, Manchester is easily accessible wherever you come from.
The joy of studying in Manchester is also being able to enjoy all that is around it and discovering the more traditional British way of life… With easy access to the beautiful countryside of the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and rural Lancashire, the historic cities of York and Chester, and let’s not forget Cheshire and its wonderful stately homes, Manchester’s prime location is ideal for a relaxing day out away from the stress of a busy city!
