Security staff are available on-call 24 hours a day. We’ll also provide you with advice about keeping safe. The University of Manchester works closely with Greater Manchester Police and supports initiatives to reduce crime in student areas. Safe zones The Students’ Union has identified 28 student safe zones from Fallowfield to the City campus. These are businesses – often late-night takeaways – that offer assistance to students who are feeling vulnerable, unwell or want to order a taxi home. You can download the free Greater Manchester Police Student Safety app to your mobile phone to find your Moving into University Pastoral care team nearest student safe zone based on your location. accommodation can be an exciting Your hall will have a pastoral care team living in-house.

I found that having a pastoral team looking after the well-being of resident students was pleasant and it prompted me to become one when I found my way and settled in. The role of a pastoral team member is challenging and full of interesting experiences. During my time in the role, I helped the students with moving in and settling into the new environment. While the pastoral team ensures that students are well looked after, it’s also responsible for maintaining a balance between various interests. Since pastoral care is provided in all University halls it doesn’t matter which campus you’re in; you’re provided with the same level of help and support. 7 Your options In your room En-suite facilities All rooms are single occupancy A popular choice but also the most expensive – these rooms have an and contain a bed, desk, chair, adjoining bathroom comprising a wardrobe, shelving and internet shower cubicle, washbasin and toilet. access. You’re welcome to bring your own TV but you’ll have to purchase your own TV licence. Standard washbasin facilities Middle of the road in terms of price – your room will have a standard washbasin, and you’ll have access to shared toilet and shower facilities at an approximate ratio of 1:4 dependent upon the hall. Standard facilities The cheapest option – washbasins, toilet and shower facilities are shared with other residents at an approximate ratio of 1:4 dependent upon the hall. 8 Catered halls In catered halls your meals are provided, your dishes are washed and the cost is included in the residence fee – one less thing to worry about. Many of our students find it easier to budget in catered halls and, with a five-week menu cycle, you won’t be served the same dishes day in, day out. The dining style ranges from hall to hall. Some have cafeteria-type facilities, in others meal times are social occasions. One thing’s for sure – whichever catered hall you choose, you can expect a fantastic dining experience. Self-catered halls If you want to choose what and when you eat, then the self-catered option is probably the right choice for you. These halls are typically grouped in shared flats or corridors. You’ll get access to communal lounges and fully fitted kitchens. The only thing you’ll need to bring is your own cutlery and crockery. There are supermarkets and shops within walking distance of all halls of residence, so you won’t have any problem stocking up on the daily essentials. If you’re not in the mood to cook, then you can grab something while you’re out from one of the many FoodOnCampus Family/partner accommodation Resident mix cafes or order from a nearby takeaway.

  • A History of the University of Manchester Since 1951
    Pullan2004jkt 10/2/03 2:43 PM Page 1 University ofManchester A history ofthe HIS IS THE SECOND VOLUME of a history of the University of Manchester since 1951. It spans seventeen critical years in T which public funding was contracting, student grants were diminishing, instructions from the government and the University Grants Commission were multiplying, and universities feared for their reputation in the public eye. It provides a frank account of the University’s struggle against these difficulties and its efforts to prove the value of university education to society and the economy. This volume describes and analyses not only academic developments and changes in the structure and finances of the University, but the opinions and social and political lives of the staff and their students as well. It also examines the controversies of the 1970s and 1980s over such issues as feminism, free speech, ethical investment, academic freedom and the quest for efficient management. The author draws on official records, staff and student newspapers, and personal interviews with people who experienced the University in very 1973–90 different ways. With its wide range of academic interests and large student population, the University of Manchester was the biggest unitary university in the country, and its history illustrates the problems faced by almost all British universities. The book will appeal to past and present staff of the University and its alumni, and to anyone interested in the debates surrounding higher with MicheleAbendstern Brian Pullan education in the late twentieth century. A history of the University of Manchester 1951–73 by Brian Pullan with Michele Abendstern is also available from Manchester University Press.
