    Glance
    Updated on 12 January 2015

    The University of Manchester has been created by bringing together The Victoria
    University of Manchester and UMIST, two of Britain's most distinguished
    universities, to create a powerful new force in British Higher Education.
    Manchester has a long tradition of excellence in Higher Education. UMIST can
    trace its roots back to 1824 and the formation of the Manchester Mechanics'
    Institute, whilst The Victoria University of Manchester was founded as Owens
    College in 1851. After 100 years of working together, these two great institutions
    are formally combining to form a single university, coming into being on 22
    October 2004.
