History

During the last third of the 20th century MMU grew through the combination of several colleges, some of which were founded in the 19th century. The mergers began on 1st January 1970, when Manchester Polytechnic was formed from Manchester College of Art and Design, the Manchester College of Commerce (founded 1889) and the John Dalton College of Technology. On the 1st January 1977, the Polytechnic merged with the Didsbury College of Education and Hollings College, and on 1st January 1983 with the City of Manchester College of Higher Education. The term polytechnic, from the Greek πολύ polú meaning many and τεχνικός tekhnikós meaning arts, is commonly used in many countries to describe an institution that delivers vocational or technical education and training, other countries do not use the term and use alternative terminology. ...


Having previously been a local authority institution, the Polytechnic became a corporate body on the 1st April 1989, as allowed by the terms of the Education Reform Act 1988. It became a University under the terms of the Further and Higher Education Act, 1992 under the new title of "Manchester Metropolitan University". This new title was approved by the Privy Council on the 15th September 1992. The Education Reform Act of 1988 is widely regarded as the most important single piece of education legislation in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland since the Butler Education Act 1944. ... The Further and Higher Education Acts 1992 made changes in the funding and administration of further education and higher education within the United Kingdom. ... Her Majestys Most Honourable Privy Council is a body of advisors to the British Sovereign. ...


The university grew larger still when the Crewe and Alsager College of Higher Education was merged on the 1st October 1992 and again in 2003 when the Manchester School of Physiotherapy became part of the Faculty of Social Care, Health & Education. The Alsager site is closing down and the land is being sold to fund development of the Crewe site.
