If you’re planning to apply for an undergraduate programme at the University of Manchester from overseas, here’s a detailed and easy-to-understand guide covering entry requirements, tuition fees, application steps, and funding options.

1. Entry Requirements & Qualifications

1. All undergraduate applicants (UK and international) must apply through the UK system UCAS.
2. International students need to meet subject and qualification requirements specific to each programme (for example A-Levels, IB diploma, or other national equivalents).
3. English language proficiency is required. For many courses, the level is equivalent to IELTS 6.0–7.0 (depending on course and department).
4. Each course may also have specific requirements (required subjects, portfolios, interviews) so you must check the individual course profile on the Manchester website.

2. Tuition Fees for Undergraduate Programmes

1. For UK (Home) students: The full-time undergraduate tuition fee for 2025/26 is £9,535.
2. For international (overseas) students: Fees vary by subject. As an example:
3. For the BSc International Management programme (2025 entry) the fee is £31,500 per annum.
4. For the BSc Economics (2026/27 international entry) fee is listed as £33,100 per annum for overseas students.
5. Note: International fees vary by course, and are usually subject to annual review and inflationary increases.

3. How to Apply

1. Choose your desired course from the Undergraduate Courses section on the university website.
2. Submit your application via UCAS, using the correct code (for Manchester) and by the stated deadline.
3. Provide all necessary documents: academic transcripts, predicted or final grades, English language proof, personal statement, and reference.
4. After submitting your application, you may be required to attend an interview or complete further assessments depending on the programme.
5. If offered a place, you must meet the conditions of the offer (grades, language, etc), accept your place, and prepare for arrival (visas, accommodation, funding).

4. International Students – Key Considerations

1. There is a dedicated section for international students on the Manchester site covering admissions, support and country-specific guidance.
2. Be aware of your fee status (Home vs Overseas) since this impacts tuition cost.
3. Living in Manchester entails additional costs (accommodation, travel, meals, study materials). These are not included in the tuition fee: you must budget separately. For example, some sources estimate international undergraduate fees starting around £31,500 per year plus living costs.

5. Funding & Scholarships

1. The University offers various scholarships and funding opportunities for international students — you should explore the university’s “Finance & Scholarships” pages.
2. It is important to apply for scholarships early, meet deadlines, and ensure you satisfy their eligibility criteria (merit or financial need).
3. Additional external funding may also be available (from your home country or international bodies) which can reduce your net cost.
