Every October, the University commemorates our Foundation Day which marks the formation of The University of Manchester as we know it.

At the event this year we premiered a film in which we explore how social responsibility is embedded in everything we do – from our teaching and learning, to research, community engagement activities and responsible campus operations.

At the heart of our University is a commitment to improve the lives of people both here in Manchester, and across the world.
