Are you flying to the UK?

If you’re flying to the UK, we’d recommend you end your journey at Manchester Airport.

Many airlines fly direct to Manchester Airport – or you can take connecting flights from most major UK and European cities.

You’ll have to pass through immigration control at your first point of entry to the UK, so make sure you have all your documents with you.

If you’re either refused admission or only admitted for a short period contact your University department and the Immigration and Welfare Manager. MMU International has further details about this.

Welcoming you

We have an Airport Welcome Scheme at Manchester Airport, so there’ll be a friendly face to meet you and transport you to your accommodation.

You must book online to ensure that we have your correct arrival details.

International Pre-enrolment & Welcome Programme

There’s also a popular Pre-enrolment and Welcome Programme - The event is a great introduction to MMU, local services available, and is a great way to make friends with your fellow international students.

MMU International’s Welcome Event for students enrolling in January takes place on Monday 9th January.
