The University of Greater Manchester is a university in Bolton, Greater Manchester, with its campus on Deane Road in the town centre, 17 minutes by train from Manchester. It offers undergraduate, postgraduate and research degrees, apprenticeships and professional development, and some courses are delivered with off-campus partners.

• Arts and creative technologies, including film, games, dance and musical theatre
• Clinical and biomedical sciences, physiotherapy, paramedic and dental sciences
• Education, early years and teacher training
• Engineering, motorsport and construction (National Centre for Motorsport Engineering)
• Business (Greater Manchester Business School), law and criminal justice, psychology
• Medicine, nursing and midwifery, health and social care

Its preferred teaching approach, the "Greater Manchester Way", is based on block teaching, although not all courses follow this model. The university also runs a summer school. Students can live at Orlando Village, the only accommodation provider approved and recommended by the university, with 383 rooms in self-catering flats a 10-minute walk from campus. Applications for September entry are made through UCAS (institution code B44) or, for a single course, directly to the university.
