We regularly take students on field trips and full day excursions in and around Manchester. The city has a wide range of museums, galleries, theatres and libraries which students can visit during their stay here. Full day excursions are also optional - favourite destinations include Blackpool, Liverpool, The Lake District, Chester, York and Alton Towers.

We are able to help students find accommodation by putting them in touch with private halls or private landlords who may have rooms in shared houses and self-contained flats.

Private halls of residence
Private halls of residence (in student halls or hostels, catered or self-catering) are normally run by private companies. Some of them are located in Manchester city centre within walking distance of the College. We can help you to find information about halls of residence, or introduce you to accredited providers. It is your decision if you would like to enter into an agreement with them.

Rooms in shared houses
Rooms in shared houses are rented to adult students individually or in groups of usually four or more by local home owners. There may be less direct contact with English speakers and students will be self-catering.

Private home accommodation is not suitable for under-16s. There are many websites which host advertisements for house shares or private rental. You will share bathrooms, kitchens and living areas with other tenants. Your contract will be with the property owner with whom there is less direct contact than in a Homestay family.

Homestay or accommodation with a family
Homestay is run by the College to facilitate a more effective English language learning environment. The hosts treat the student as a full member of the household, eating together and sharing the common living areas; no more than four students will be accommodated in homestay acocmodation at any one time. We offer single rooms with breakfast and dinner in a friendly home environment.

Manchester is fast becoming recognised as England's second city. It is the birthplace of the industrial revolution and a major centre of learning, with three universities and two colleges of music. The Greater Manchester area has a population of around 2.5 million and the student population has been estimated at 88,000, which explains why Manchester is known as 'the ultimate student city'.

The John Rylands Library looks more like a castle than a conventional library and is one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. Situated on the edge of the newly developed Spinningfields area off Deansgate, it was built in the 1890's at the request of Enriqueta Rylands, widow of one of Manchester's richest industrialists, John Rylands, who died in 1888. The collection includes the oldest known fragment of the New Testament and wonderful illustrated manuscripts from the Middle Ages. There is an edition of the first printed book in England, The Canterbury Tales.

Manchester City Hall in Albert Square
Built in 1868-1877, this is where Manchester City Council has its meetings and offices. There is also a tourist information centre on the other side of the building, facing St Peter's Square:
