Deciding to join MSE is probably the biggest step you’ve taken so far. So here is what we’ve found to be the best way to go about it. You can always change courses once you’ve started, but it isn’t always a good idea. So before you rush ahead and decide to sign up for one of our courses, make sure that you know that it’s what you really want to do. Our advice is... to think about the qualification
s you have now, or would like to have; think about the experience and skills you have now; then think about the kinds of career that you would like to have. Consider subjects that you enjoy studying, or that will teach you things that you don’t already know. Talk to your family and friends, talk to your careers adviser, talk to your previous teachers and then come in and talk to us. Have a good read through our Prospectus and make sure you get the information on the courses you’re thinking of taking. Then ring our Admissions Office on +44 161 275 9674 and ask any questions about our courses. You can also make appointments to come in and talk to the tutors of courses you are interested in. Don’t worry, they won’t be seen as interviews, and they’re very informal chats. We want to help you, so we’ll tell you everything we can to help you make up your mind. Once you’ve made up your mind, fill in the Application Form and return it to:
The Admissions Officer, Manchester School of Economics, 60 Charles Street,
City Centre Campus, Manchester M1 7DF. Tel: +44 161 275 9674. We will then arrange an interview for you at the College. This will be more formal, and a friend or family member is welcome to come along with you. At the interview, you will have a chance to talk with some of the tutors about the subjects that interest you. Your current situation, your current qualifications, your hopes and career intentions can also be discussed to help you decide on your study route. Together, we’ll decide on a provisional programme of study that will suit you. If the College offers you a place, you will receive a formal offer letter from us with an acceptance form which you should complete and return to the Admissions Officer. Further information about enrolment will be sent to you nearer the beginning of your course. You can, of course, change your mind about what you want to study. If you do, amendments can be made at a later date. Don't worry if you miss this formal procedure as we will still make every effort to find you a suitable course.
