" f. e# C3 R) i; `The last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) was conducted in 2001, before UMIST and The Victoria University of Manchester merged to become The University of Manchester. At that time every department assessed gained a 5*, 5 or 4 rating - meaning the University has achieved excellent levels of research quality. For more in depth information, see the RAE page. Employability

• More employers choose to recruit graduates from The University of Manchester than from any other university and consistently rate our careers service as the best in the UK
• More employers recruit on this campus than at any other university (13,500 companies)
• Manchester graduates are amongst the highest paid in the country (average £20,500 six months after graduation)

History and origins6 h( v. O; O6 ~+ [4 {
History of the University
; F+ X; {/ h* v0 ^( E' c; f1 x0 ^The University of Manchester has been created by bringing together The Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST, two of Britain's most distinguished universities, to create a powerful new force in British Higher Education.
; u/ ?& E. u. b& r# n8 Z" ]+ y; g# f6 N. j; o9 L& b
Manchester has a long tradition of excellence in Higher Education. UMIST can trace its roots back to 1824 and the formation of the Manchester Mechanics' Institute, whilst The Victoria University of Manchester was founded as Owens College in 1851.
: X( x5 w; t4 u
# [8 e" J$ X. {+ j+ mAfter 100 years of working together, these two great institutions are formally combining to form a single university, coming into being on 22 October 2004.9 \: [: y) E/ y4 k

Manchester businessmen and industrialists established the Mechanics' Institute to ensure their workers could learn the basic principles of science. + }1 j0 \2 E7 I2 j8 K

Similarly, John Owens, a Manchester textile merchant, bequeathed £96,942 in 1846 for the purpose of founding a college for the education of males on non-sectarian lines. Owens College was established and granted a Royal Charter in 1880 to become England's first civic university, The Victoria University of Manchester.
; ^5 n) Y+ m) {7 S7 I- s6 n: u5 u! U
By 1905 the two institutions were a large and active force in the area with the Mechanics' Institute, the forerunner of the modern UMIST, forming a Faculty of Technology and working alongside The Victoria University of Manchester.

This relationship worked to the advantage of all, not least the many students who received a first class education and the employers who benefitted from the knowledge and skills imparted by the two institutions. - v3 G) ], U2 R) h; G

北校区的同志们应该顶起来..

贝克汉姆

合并前哪个学校实力更强一些呢？

admin

差不多，各有千秋。   umist在工业上好些。曼大在基础科学上好些。

贝克汉姆

哦，这样啊。合并后确实很厉害。大家预测能不能超过爱丁堡呢？

localbean

能:victory: 只是时间问题

爱大就象个老头子, 实力还是挺强的, 不过咱MAN也不是省油的灯, 实力仲伯拉.
