This year, 50% of students at the Manchester School of Architecture are international and our programmes attracted new enrolments from 42 countries. Through multiple contemporary, historical and theoretical agendas, the School continuously nurtures domestic, overseas and exchange students' cultural and contextual literacies.
The School’s inclusive learning environment adopts an ‘internationalisation on campus’ approach supplemented by short-term mobility opportunities. Internationalisation of learning is enriched through engagement with formal, informal and hidden curriculums while working collaboratively with peers, staff, partners, professionals and communities. On campus experiences include studios, workshops, seminars, guest lectures, societies and MSA Beyond alongside community engagement, Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL), Go Global celebrations, practice visits and Alumni networking. Study trips have visited Amsterdam, Barcelona, China, Finland, Hong Kong, Madrid, Marseille, New York and Zurich.
All of the MSA's programmes explore intercultural perspectives, preparing all students for employment or further study around the globe. Our sustained success is reflected in the Global QS Subject Rankings; the Graduate Outcomes Survey and our Alumni stories.
