On this page, I introduce the History of the University of Manchester.
The University of Manchester joined together with the Victoria University of Manchester and the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) in 2004. Before that, these two universities were working closely and then they decided to be one university.
The Victoria University of Manchester developed out of Owens College, which was founded in 1851 by a legacy from the wealthy industrialist, John Owens. In 1880, the college became the first constituent part of the federal Victoria University; England’s first civic university.
The University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST) was founded in 1824 as part of a national movement for the education of working men. The university specialised in technical and scientific subjects and was a major centre for research.
