Listen to the latest episode of Manchester Met’s podcast

In this month’s episode, we we celebrate 75 years of the National Health Service.  

We explore the role Manchester Met plays in supporting the NHS: through placements, training and conducting vital research. 

We also look at the changing face of the high street with the latest research from our School of Architecture and we catch up with our Institute of Place Management to discuss the major trends, issues and solutions facing our town centres.  

Finally, we talk to Manchester Metropolitan fine art graduate and Met Magazine cover star, Paul Harfleet. 

Paul introduces us to his project – ‘Birds Can Fly’ - and discusses how the city and his experiences – both positive and negative - have influenced his work and life.
