About us
|
The Manchester Magazine is an independent student magazine at The University of Manchester.
Born in 2015 and entirely produced by students at The University of Manchester, our magazine is a twenty-first century media platform, delivering content across our website and social media pages. We aim to distance ourselves from the traditional concept of student publications as sporadic print journals and position ourselves on the vanguard of student media in the United Kingdom. We enjoy modern design, fresh thinking and incisive writing that challenges us and inspires our fellow students. That is why from Fallowfield to Victoria Park, the Stopford Library to the Arthur Lewis Building, we are constantly searching for the best writers at The University of Manchester. When we find someone exceptional, we invite the person to collaborate with us, adding quality and variety to the team. This relationship is benefitial both to the magazine and the university itself. In terms of developing students' skills, we already play a significant role at The University of Manchester. The Manchester Magazine is a respected publishing platform and a precious networking opportunity, and our work has been praised by influential academics, journalists and policymakers. Being involved with us is an opportunity for students to develop their skills and showcase their work, highly increasing their prospects in the job market. In terms of editorial criteria, at the magazine we publish mainly about issues and events which are relevant for the diverse student community in the city of Manchester. While politics and international affairs are our main focus, in the past we have had articles in genres ranging from poetry to travel photography, academic essay to theatre critique. If the work is of a high standard; it is interesting, innovative and important; and it is developed by University of Manchester students, then chances are you will find it published here. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, The Manchester Magazine is, and always will be, entirely independent - which means we are not affiliated with any union, business or political party. By being a haven for quality debate, incisive analysis and informed opinion, we hope to stimulate and shape student debate across the city of Manchester.
We are on social media too...

"Being a truly independent publication means that we are free from outside pressures. That allows us to be inclusive of a wide variety of ideas, opinions and perspectives in our articles. It is this plurality of thought, along with the high standard of writing we demand, that I think defines The Manchester Magazine."
