 Manchester Metropolitan University is based in 7 campuses – 5 in Manchester and 2 in Cheshire,  collectively known as MMU Cheshire.

 Travelling to the Manchester and Cheshire campuses couldn't be easier. The region is well served by motorways, good public transport and Manchester International Airport is just 10 miles (16km) south of the city centre with fast and frequent rail links both to Manchester and Cheshire.

Manchester

The University's central campus at All Saints is situated close to Manchester's city centre.

In Manchester the routes most commonly travelled by students are very well served by public transport. Oxford Road and Wilmslow Road which link the All Saints, Elizabeth Gaskell, Hollings and Didsbury campuses are reputed to be the busiest bus routes in Europe and competition between the bus operators keeps prices low with travel costing costing as little as £4 per week.

There's also a free hop-on/hop-off city centre shuttle service that covers the main city centre areas, linking the main city centre railway stations, main NCP car parks and many bus and Metrolink tram stops.

Cheshire

The MMU Cheshire campuses at Crewe and Alsager are signposted from Junction 16 of the M6 motorway. The Crewe campus is a 5-minute walk away from a mainline railways station and there is a free term-time shuttle bus service that operates every 15 minutes between the Crewe and Alsager campuses. The area is also well served by public transport and mainline trains for traveling further field.

How & When To Pay

One of the biggest concerns of overseas students is how and when to pay their tuition fees. If possible, all overseas self-funding students should pay their tuition fees in full before or at the enrolment session. You can pay online at www.fin.mmu.ac.uk/payments - please bring a copy of the email payment acknowledgement (or note the reference number) to enrolment if you use the Pay Online system.

Students who pay their tuition fees in full by Friday 19 September 2008 receive an early payment discount of £100. Your payment must have reached our bank account by this date to be eligible for the discount.

Students also have the option of paying in installments. If a student chooses to pay in installments, an initial payment of £2000 must be made before or at the enrolment session. The remaining tuition fees must be paid in three equal installments by Direct Debit (December, January and April), plus a £200 administration fee. If you are planning on paying in installments you will need a UK bank account before you are able to join the Paperless Direct Debit scheme. Please don't delay - opening a UK bank account can take some time. For further help go to bank accounts.

If a student is sponsored by a third party (e.g. their company or a government agency) they must provide documentary evidence (e.g. a letter of sponsorship printed on headed paper) from an approved  University employer/sponsor which acknowledges that tuition fees and other associated fees will be paid on receipt of a Manchester Metropolitan University invoice.

Please note that some courses also ask for an additional deposit to secure your place (don't worry, it will all be explained in your offer letter).

If you'd like further details regarding tuition fee payments including direct debits go to www.fin.mmu.ac.uk/student or email tuitionfeeenq@mmu.ac.uk.
