The Manchester School of Architecture is the 5th best in the world, for the third consecutive year in the QS Rankings. The MSA’s innovative character, professional ethos, and international culture are signposting our school’s reputation across the globe.

MSA International have been working across the MMU and UoM professional and academic teams to offer the best international student experience for our students. The student journey at the MSA starts at the point of acceptance, throughout the studies, and carries on to our proud international alumni team.

Within the MSA International, our student international team, Beyond is leading a series of cultural (Lunar Year Party, EID party, International days are only some of them), Festivals (Beyond the Eyes of the City – Film Competition), Alumni events, and offers support bringing MSA students and academics together.

Our school is truly international and diverse, with 40% of overseas students, both a wide international academic team and an international academic cohort. All MSA students can experience internationalisation, from optional field trips to academic exchanges on an institutional level and a student-to-student level. Also, international curricula and case studies, Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) collaborations, workshops, and visits from internationally acclaimed academics.

Our students are encouraged to have an international view of architecture and inspire our global impact!
