University of Manchester Admissions social media

09 Dec 2010

Schools and other areas are invited to contribute Tweets, Facebook status updates or staff blogs

As you may have noticed, the Student Recruitment, Admissions and International Development Division has launched a number of University of Manchester Admissions social media pages. These include a Facebook page, Twitter feed, staff blogs and student blogs which are currently signposted from the undergraduate homepage, but soon will be rolled out to postgraduate and international sections of the website.

The purpose of the pages is both to communicate interesting and relevant news/information to potential applicants, and to answer any enquiries that are posted on the page.

The sites currently feature a range of admissions-based information and general University news, but the division would be very interested in receiving information from Schools, along with other areas of the University, in the form of either a Tweet, Facebook status update or staff blogs. The content just needs to be relevant to those interested in applying/who have already applied to Manchester and is not intended for current students/alumni.

If you are interested in providing any updates, then please contact:
