Manchester Metropolitan University January 2027: Full Postgraduate Course List
Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU) has confirmed 19 postgraduate courses starting in the January 2027 intake, alongside one undergraduate exception worth knowing about if you're applying outside the standard September cycle.
The undergraduate exception
MMU is direct about this: most undergraduate courses start in September only. The single exception for January 2027 is BSc (Hons) Adult Nursing (Top Up) - if you're looking for a January undergraduate start at MMU outside of this one course, it isn't available.

What stands out about this list
Three of the pre-registration nursing and health courses - Adult Nursing, Mental Health Nursing, and Dietetics - are pre-registration programmes, meaning they lead toward professional registration rather than being purely academic. If you're applying to one of these, expect additional requirements beyond standard academic entry criteria, such as health/DBS checks and placement-related conditions, on top of the usual application process.
The PgCert Architecture and Contemporary Practice (RIBA Part 3) is a professional-practice qualification rather than a standard master's, aimed at those completing the final stage of architectural qualification (RIBA Part 3) rather than starting architectural study from scratch.
For international students specifically
MMU's own guidance for this intake states that application deadlines and CAS request timing information for international students starting in January 2027 will be shared separately - at the time this list was confirmed, that specific deadline information had not yet been published. If you're an international applicant planning for January 2027, it's worth checking directly with MMU's international team for the current deadline rather than assuming standard timelines apply.
What to check before applying
- Confirm your course is genuinely open for January 2027 - this list reflects courses with a confirmed January start; always verify current availability directly with MMU before applying.
- Check for pre-registration-specific requirements if applying to Nursing, Mental Health Nursing, or Dietetics - these typically carry additional steps beyond standard postgraduate entry.
- Ask MMU directly about international application and CAS deadlines for January 2027, since this was still being finalised at the time of this list's release.
