The University of Manchester’s commitment to social responsibility is evident in the difference it makes to society and the environment through its teaching, research, public engagement and operations.
This has recently been recognised by the University being named top in both the UK and Europe and second in the world for meaningful contributions towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs), in the 2023 Times Higher Education (THE) University Impact Rankings.
Manchester’s top-ranking comes from a record assessment of 1,705 universities from 115 countries/regions. As well as ranking first in the UK, The University of Manchester is also the only UK institution in the world to rank in the top ten in every year the Impact Rankings have been running.
This commitment to social responsibility was recently celebrated at The University of Manchester, through its Making a Difference Awards.
