History

Manchester Metropolitan University was established as a Polytechnic in 1970 and became a University in 1992. But MMU boasts a history of achievement to rival many more-established institutions.It developed initially as a centre of Technology, Art and Design from Manchester Mechanics’ Institution (1824) and Manchester School of Design (1838). The painter L. S. Lowry attended the art school in the years after the First World War.Later schools of Commerce (founded 1889), Education (f. 1878) and Domestic Science (f. 1880) were added along with colleges at Didsbury, Crewe, Alsager and the former Domestic and Trades College (f. 1911), latterly Hollings College.Now MMU is the seventh most popular university in terms of applications in the UK.
