On this month’s episode, we look at a very special celebration – 200 Years of Manchester Metropolitan University. With roots dating back to 1824 at the Manchester Mechanics Institution, our bicentenary gives us the opportunity to reflect on two centuries of proudly driving progress and transforming lives. We recently kicked off the celebrations with a fantastic light display across the city. 

We’ll also be looking to the future and how the University is Driving Economic Growth: starting with a spotlight on our research supporting UK high streets, and, with National Apprenticeship Week round the corner, we also look at how degree apprenticeships are transforming lives and lifting employers.
