The University of Manchester is a university in Manchester, England.
In 2007-08, it had over 40,000 students studying 500 academic programmes, and more than 10,000 staff and an annual income of £637 million.
It is the largest single-campus University in the United Kingdom.
The university was formed in 2004 by joining together the Victoria University of Manchester (founded 1851) and UMIST (founded 1824) and since then some of the buildings have been demolished and new ones built instead.
These include University Place on the site of the former Mathematics Building (pictured right).

The former UMIST buildings are in the Sackville Street Campus and those of the former University of Manchester in the Oxford Road Campus.
There is a residential campus further south in the suburb of Fallowfield.
The earliest buildings of the university date from 1872 (west of Oxford Road) and they were occupied by Owens College in 1873.
Since the 1950s the facilities for science and technology have occupied an area east of Oxford Road and the medical school was relocated there in the early 1970s.
