Question 1

What English and degree requirements apply to master's courses at Manchester Metropolitan University?

Accepted Answer

For most taught master's courses (MA, MSc) you need IELTS 6.5 overall with no component below 5.5, or an accepted equivalent such as TOEFL or PTE. Some programmes ask for more, for example IELTS 7.0 for the MA Social Work and MA Multimedia Journalism. The degree requirement is set course by course (for example, the LLM International Corporate Law lists a lower second-class UK honours degree or equivalent), so check the Entry requirements section of your course page. If you need a UK Student visa, the test must be IELTS for UKVI.

Question 2

Is there a scholarship for international master's students at Manchester Metropolitan University?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The International Postgraduate Scholarship is a tuition fee scholarship of GBP 5,000 in the first year for most eligible taught master's courses starting in September 2026, and GBP 3,000 for a few programmes (such as the MBA and some architecture courses) and for selected January 2027 starts. You do not apply separately: eligibility is assessed when you apply, and it is for self-funded students who pay overseas fees. It is paid in proportion to the tuition fees charged, and the university reviews amounts each year, so confirm the figure on your offer.

Question 3

How does an international student apply to Manchester Metropolitan University?

Accepted Answer

Start from your course page and use the 'How to apply' button; most courses can be applied for online, or through an education agent or partner. Have your transcripts and certificates, personal statement and English language evidence ready (art and design courses usually also ask for a portfolio link). Master's applications are open year-round, but most courses close in mid to late August; the main intake is September, with a small number of courses starting in January or February. After an offer, you pay a GBP 5,000 tuition fee deposit (or provide sponsorship evidence) to request your CAS, then apply for your Student visa.

Question 4

How much does it cost to live in Manchester as a Manchester Met student?

Accepted Answer

University accommodation for 2026/27 runs from about GBP 160 to GBP 245 a week, charged over 44 weeks, which is roughly GBP 7,000 to GBP 10,800 a year depending on the hall and room. For your visa, the UK government sets the maintenance requirement for courses outside London, including Manchester, at GBP 1,171 a month for up to nine months.
