30 Mar 2016

Manchester School of Architecture has been named as one of the top ten places to study architecture in the world

The School is one of just three UK institutions to make the top ten in the QS Top Universities rankings, along with University College London and the University of Cambridge.

Tom Jefferies, Head of the Manchester School of Architecture, said: “It’s fantastic news which reflects the unique position of the school sitting in two major centres of excellence – Art and Design at Manchester Metropolitan University and the School of Environment, Education and Development at the University of Manchester.

“It is a measure of the very interesting exploratory and groundbreaking work we do with a range of national and international partners.

“It’s great for Manchester and the region, and we are already looking at opportunities arising from this.”

Manchester School of Architecture is run collaboratively by The University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University. The centre draws upon a wide range of interdisciplinary research and teaching interests within the Manchester School of Art at Manchester Metropolitan University and the School of Environment, Education and Development, within the Faculty of Humanities of The University of Manchester.

The QS Top University Rankings have been published internationally since 2004, and is one of the most widely read university rankings.
