It’s time to graduate

Did you know that The Whitworth, Manchester Museum, John Rylands Library and Jodrell Bank Discovery Centre are all part of the University of Manchester, accounting for 1.2m visitors every year? Working closely with the University’s Social Responsibility team and our associate John Knell (of Intelligence Agency and a UoM alumni), we are exploring how the university can reposition itself as a cultural university and what that means for Manchester.

Despite having worked with this University over many years, we’re still uncovering a new breadth and depth of cultural offer across teaching, research, libraries and archives, specialist schools, partnerships, cultural practice and artists, and of course its cultural institutions – exploring its purpose and place within the wider city.
