UniDiscounts

As part of our benefits offering for all staff working at the University, we are pleased to offer a wide range of campus, local and national discounts. These have been divided into relevant categories so that you can easily navigate and find what interests you. Staff are also eligible to sign up for a TOTUM card which provides access to hundreds of online and high street discounts.

These discounts can be found below. Substantive staff also have access to Purple Place.

We are continually looking to improve this portfolio. If you know of any local providers who may wish to share offers please email people.reward@manchester.ac.uk
