The Manchester College

The college Student Experience Support Workers (SESW) are based on every campus and are there to support learners through their time at college. If they are having difficulties in or out of college, the SESW provide a high level of support through one to ones and relevant referrals to external agencies. The SESW team also provide safeguarding support when needed. You can find out more information on our Student Support pages.

• Although there are dozens of providers of accommodation in the Manchester area, along with many private landlords advertising their properties independently, we strongly recommend that you use Manchester Student Homes for your housing needs. 
• Manchester Student Homes offer lots of useful services. All landlords that they approve must meet a code of standards set up by the organisation. They can check your housing contract before you sign to make sure everything’s legal and up to current standards. And as well as housing advice and support, they may even be able to act for you in the unlikely event of any problems down the line.

• advice about what resources to use for your course
• IT access
• printing and photocopying
• university prospectuses
• careers guides
