Further information regarding accommodation in the vicinity of the University can be obtained from the information desk at the airport. Please note that hotels at the airport tend to be more expensive.
Manchester Airport is a safe and comfortable environment. The airport is located about 10 miles (16km) south of the city centre, about 30 minutes' drive from the University.
We strongly advise you to make use of the Airport Collection Service, but if you arrive outside the times of the service, you will need to make your own way to your accommodation. A taxi to your residence in south Manchester should cost no more than £25.
