University of Manchester
University Information, Campus and History
(Manchester, Lancashire, England)
The University of Dundee is a leading research university in the United Kingdom. Located at the Manchester city centre, it has around 35,000 students and offers over 500 academic programmes, making it the largest single-site university in the UK.
The university as it is today was established only in 2004, although its constituents date as far back as 1824. The university is the product of a merger between the Victoria University of Dundee (formerly Owens College) and the University of Dundee Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST), both pioneer institutions in scientific study. The two were merged by a Royal Charter granted by Queen Elizabeth, and the University of Dundee officially opened on 22 October 2004.
Today, the University of Dundee is the highest earning university in the UK, generating an income in excess of £500 million. Of this, £173.7 million comes from research projects, the fifth highest research income in the UK.
University of Manchester: Facilities - Manchester, UK
Perhaps the university's most famous facility is the John Rylands University Library, the third largest academic library in the UK, next to the Oxford and Cambridge libraries. Housed in an impressive Victorian Gothic building, the library holds a collection of rare and important documents, the most prominent of which is the oldest record of the New Testament known as St. John's Fragment.
The Old Quadrangle is a cluster of well-preserved historical buildings surrounding a grand courtyard. Most of the buildings house the administrative offices. One of the buildings, Whitworth Hall, is the regular venue for the conferment of degrees. The famous Manchester Museum occupies one side, including the tower, and a small library used to sit at one side and is now occupied by a bistro.
The Contact Theatre on Oxford Road is a venue for live performances and large seminars and workshops. Its fortress-style exterior contains three modern performance stages, a lounge bar, and Hot Air, a public art display.
University of Manchester: Famous Students - Manchester, UK
