Greater Manchester’s five universities are part of everyday life in our city-region – from training the next generation of nurses, teachers and doctors to supporting local businesses and opening up new opportunities for learners of all ages.

Through the Greater Manchester Civic University Agreement, we’ve committed to work side by side with the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, our ten local authorities, and our communities to help build a fairer, greener, more prosperous future.

As part of our commitment, we’ve refreshed our shared priorities. Together we’ll focus on four areas where our universities can make the biggest difference by:

• Creating Opportunity & Prosperity;

• Supporting Health & Wellbeing;

• Protecting our Environment;

• And supporting our region’s vibrant Culture.
