The University of Manchester is a public research university in Manchester, England. The present institution was created in 2004 by the merger of the Victoria University of Manchester and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST). UMIST grew out of the Manchester Mechanics' Institution, founded in 1824, which the current university treats as its founding date.
The main campus is along Oxford Road, south of the city centre, with further buildings in the surrounding area. Faculties cover science and engineering; biology, medicine and health; and humanities, including arts, social sciences, law and the Alliance Manchester Business School. The campus also includes museums and a large students' union.
Teaching is in English. Undergraduate UK fees follow the regulated home-student cap; international tuition is set by the university and listed by course.
