  • Welcome & Table of Contents

    Pre arrival
    • This pack is split into three topics; Pre-arrival, Settling into Manchester, and Joining the Manchester Met community. We have put these together in the order we think makes the most sense, but we recognise that not all content will be applicable to every student, so feel free to skip sections as needed.
      As well as lists and ideas, this pack also links to different teams in the university and the specific information they offer including our wonderful International Office. We hope you find this pack useful!
      This pack has been put together by students and staff together. We have included lots of tips and advice from International students who are part of the Manchester Met community and we hope that you will find it useful and ease your transition into life with us here at Manchester Met.
