Manchester University, founded back in 1851 and granted its royal charter in 1903, is a giant of the north in a great student city. Living and studying here may change your life. There are more than 15,000 undergraduates and it attracts more applicants than any other university. Perhaps this is because of the good mix of arts and sciences that the university provides, as well as access to outstanding facilities, such as the third largest university library in the UK, the Jodrell Bank Science Centre with its radio telescope and 6,000 PCs clustered across the campus. Rutherford split the atom here. The students' union has four bars and two venues for live music, and there are over 100 student societies. All this goes some way to explaining Manchester's popularity .

The Lovell Telescope
We have no fewer than 25 Nobel Prize winners among our current and former staff, students and alumni.
Many of our staff are at the forefront of research and discovery, as evidenced by the award of the 2010 Nobel Prize for Physics to Professors Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov. Their discovery of graphene has now become the basis of a wide range of further interdisciplinary research and development around potential applications in materials, chemistry, physics and engineering.
Founded in 2013 as an Arts Lab, The John Rylands Research Institute is a unique partnership between The University of Manchester Library and the Faculty of Humanities to conduct new research into the University's Special Collections.
About the John Rylands Research Institute
The Institute brings together library professionals, humanities scholars and scientists to take research into new and unchartered territories.

The John Rylands Library was founded by Enriqueta Rylands in memory of her husband John Rylands. In 1889 the architect Basil Champneys designed the striking gothic building, which took ten years to build and was opened to public readers on 1 January 1900. The library became part of The University of Manchester in 1972 and currently holds the Special Collections of The University of Manchester Library. Mrs Rylands' memorial to her husband is now part of the third largest academic library in the United Kingdom, and the Deansgate building houses over 250,000 printed volumes, and well over a million manuscripts and archival items.
The museum housed from 1835 in grand premises on Peter Street. In 1850 the museum absorbed the collections of the Manchester Geological Society. By the 1860s the Natural History Society had little money and the building was full. The museum was transferred in 1868 to Owens College, which later became the University of Manchester. Many more objects were donated and the Museum was extended in 1912-1913 and again in 1927,displayed new ethnographic and Egyptology collections. Over the twentieth century, the collection was split into archery, archaeology, botany, Egyptology, entomology, ethnography, mineralogy, palaeontology, numismatics and zoology, as well as live specimens in the aquarium and vivarium. Overall, the collection grew to six million items, and the staff expanded from four 'keepers' to over 70 museum professionals. Many of these were world-class scholars, and the Museum was the site for cutting-edge research in the natural sciences and humanities.
