We look forward to seeing you back on campus for the new academic year. Remember classes start in week 1 (28 September 2026) and all students are expected to be back in class on this date.

Please follow these steps if you are returning to study for your second or final year in 2026/27:

2. Complete your course unit selection.
3. Attend your compulsory Welcome Back Meeting with your Programme Director. A copy of your Welcome Back Meeting slides will be available in early October.

Further information for returning students

If you have received prior permission to transfer to another Alliance MBS degree programme, subject to successful completion of the 2026/27 academic year, you will receive separate confirmation after the results have been published to say that your transfer has been processed.

Please do not make your course unit selection on the student system until your new degree programme is displayed when you log on.

Update your contact details

Keep us informed of your current semester-time and home addresses. If you move address at any time during the academic year you must inform the University and update your details on the student system (campus solutions) which is best accessed through My Manchester.

Please update term time address (rather than mailing address) on the system and/or your home address depending on which is changing.

If your telephone number changes, you must also update this on the student system (campus solutions). If you do update your address or telephone number we will not be able to contact you and you could miss vital information about your programme, including examination information. You also need to ensure you have an up-to-date emergency contact number.

Contact with third parties

There is a contract in place between the student and the University.

A student may authorise a third party to act as his/her agent but unless this authorisation is given in writing then members of staff are not able to discuss issues regarding students (medical, academic or other issues) with third parties.
