Middle East: Challenge Accepted

We stand at a defining moment. The world is changing fast. Climate change is accelerating. Inequity is deepening. We face growing health challenges and urgent questions about what knowledge and skills the digital age demands. This isn’t the first time Manchester has risen to the moment. We’re defining what a great university looks like and how we can find solutions to our biggest challenges. But we need your backing to transform our ambitions. Challenge Accepted?
