UA92 Global provides international students with access to this extraordinary experience in the UK. A truly unique teaching style, structured to suit the modern student, and located in one of the most exciting cities to live, learn and grow.

With access to all UA92 degrees through three different entry points, there is a level to suit a huge variety of academic and English levels. You can also choose to complete your degree in either three years (standard UK degree length) or accelerate your learning over two years.

Whether you join directly into year one, or start at foundation level, you will study on-campus in the Old Trafford area of Manchester. Located next to Old Trafford Cricket Ground and a 10-minute walk to the Manchester United stadium, it’s an inspiring and vibrant study spot!

UA92 Global is operated by Navitas, a global education provider with a focus on supporting international students gain access into the educational institution of their choice.

UA92 was announced in September 2017 and offers “broader courses than traditional degrees, designed to enhance life skills as well as employability”. Degrees have a focus on personal and character development and the skills needed for the workplace.

UA92 was co-founded by Lancaster University and members of the Class of '92, the Manchester United football players who won the 1992 FA Youth Cup, including Gary Neville, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Phil Neville and Nicky Butt. Following their successful careers after football, the players wanted to open a university which would attract students who "otherwise might not go on to higher education". UA92 has been described by The Times as “a venture setting out to help disadvantaged young people in Manchester get a better education, with a new university that explicitly draws on the strategies and mindset of elite sport". UA92 works in partnership with the industry to develop a curriculum inspired by business needs. Current partners include Microsoft, Trafford College, KPMG, Manchester United and Lancashire County Cricket Club. UA92 was accepted into the Office for Students register of higher education institutions following an inspection by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA). It was awarded £2m funding by the Office for Students to develop a new digital academy on campus. UA92 said, “the new academy will increase UA92’s student capacity for digital students almost tenfold – from 65 to 634”.
