ABOUT

Manchester University Press (MUP) is situated in the heart of one of the most vibrant universities and cities in the UK. Founded in 1904, we’re the third largest university press in England, and our distinctive brand is known globally for excellent research in the Humanities and Social Sciences from leading names and up-and-coming scholars around the World. We currently publish over 170 books each year, as well as seven journals.

 

MUP is a leader in employing best practices in 21st century publishing. We relish opportunities to innovate and explore new ways of supporting scholarly communications, and we try to stayresponsive to the changing needs of the academic community and our broader readership.  For example, we offer more open access books content than any other UK university press. We work closely with our parent institution, the University of Manchester, and are about to launch our first student journal. We also offer our expert services to others, such as the newly established Lund University Press where MUP will provide high-quality production, marketing and distribution services.

Discoverability, accessibility and researchability  are  all features of publishing that we care about, as well as the traditional values of excellent author care, good design and high production values. We’re proud to be able to say that MUP authors come back to us time and again.

Our new website introduces opportunities for you to interact with us in more ways than ever before. We look forward to hearing from you.
