  • School of Arts, Languages and Cultures
  • School of Social Sciences

The opportunities for collaborative architectural research in the University are unparalleled, and research bids in a variety of disciplines are strengthened by the involvement of strong architectural researchers.

Architecture staff at Manchester also engage in research projects in collaboration with other institutions.

Architecture students can expect to work across multiple buildings including the Arthur Lewis Building, Humanities Bridgeford Street and Manchester Metropolitan University.
