Xaverian College

Xaverian College is a Roman Catholic college in Manchester, England founded by the Xaverian Brothers in 1862.

Admissions

Located in the inner city suburb of Rusholme, close to Wilmslow Road and Oxford Road, the college's location often influences its intake, with a large diversity of applicants. Many of the college's students originate from ethnic minorities, as well as various socioeconomic classes. Admissions consist of three hierarchal priorities:

1. Pupils studying at one of the seven Associated Roman Catholic High Schools and Trinity Church of England High School are guaranteed a place at Xaverian if they wish to take it.

2. Next priority is given to students in Roman Catholic Schools who are in partnership with Xaverian.

3. Priority then falls to Roman Catholic pupils at non-Roman Catholic schools who meet entry requirements.

4. There is a NHS Cadets vocational programme which has entry criteria that are not based on an applicant's religion or beliefs.

5. Xaverian College also accommodates a group of approximately fifty Manchester University students undertaking foundation degrees in dentistry, medicine and pharmacy.
