About us
Sport is a discipline of vast variety and huge power. It’s a world of entertainment and economics, of competition and community. Here, in the centre of Manchester, a city of sport, we have built a world-class institute to champion everything that sport can do – from strengthening communities and building a healthier society, to inspiring the next generation and pushing the limits of human performance. Far from a standalone, separate body, this is an institute that unites expertise from across our University – making connections far beyond any one field, opening doors to new collaborations and creating a wealth of opportunities. For students preparing for a sporting future, for researchers expanding the boundaries of our understanding and for partners seeking academic expertise, we’re here to help you harness the power of sport. This is a home for sport without boundaries, a place built to make a real impact on the world around us.
