City Campus Manchester
Our city campus is based in the heart of Manchester city centre, a stone's throw away from a wealth of theatres, cafes, bars, and restaurants.
Manchester is the birth place of some of the most world-changing technological advances from the industrial revolution to the creation of the programmable computer; not to mention the UK's longest running Soap Opera!
Manchester is a diverse city where everyone is welcome. From the famous Northern Quarter, packed with bars, clubs, and restaurants, to the Gay Village, home of one of the world's oldest LGBTQ+ bars dating back to 1865; there is an inclusive student nightlife scene where you can enjoy yourself and let your hair down after a hard week of classes.
Studying Performing Arts in Manchester means you have a wealth of theatres and opportunities on your doorstep. Due to the relocation of the likes of ITV and BBC to MediaCityUK, many TV programmes are now produced here and most talent agents and managers hold offices here. There are some fantastic theatre venues, from The Royal Exchange Theatre, HOME, and The Lowry, to smaller independent, award-winning theatres such as 53Two and Hope Mill Theatre; not forgetting the larger theatres The Palace Theatre and the Manchester Opera House where you can see most touring productions.
Why Manchester?
Manchester is the perfect place to begin building a life in the creative industries. A city renowned for theatre, music, film, television, culture and nightlife, it gives you the opportunity to experience creativity beyond your training and become part of a city with the arts at its heart.
Study at The Arden and you’ll have Manchester as your classroom too, with theatres, performance venues and a thriving creative community right on your doorstep.
