The world renowned Manchester School of Architecture endeavours to be a contemporary school of architecture in its truest and widest sense. We strive to be at the forefront of tackling contemporary societal issues such as social justice, diversity and equality, climate change, and the changing nature of the profession and practice.

We are very proud of our roots in this great city with its rich history of industry, revolution, innovation, change, and work ethic as captured by the famous Manchester bee. This passion manifests in our ethos, 'from the city, of the city, for the city, and beyond' which acts as a constant prompt of our responsibilities, duty, and role in the city, serving its communities and businesses, as well as a wider global audience.

We are delighted to continue our relationship with and support for the W Programme and are honoured to be playing a key role in hosting the W Awards in the north. Welcome to Manchester, which, as the late great Tony Wilson said, we do things differently here!
