Centre for Jewish Studies, University of Manchester

The Centre for Jewish Studies at the University of Manchester (MUCJS) is a focus for Jewish Studies in the Greater Manchester region in England. It draws together staff with interests in Jewish Studies from various departments and faculties in both the University of Manchester and other higher education institutions.

The Centre also seeks to foster among the general educated public an awareness of the importance of Jewish Studies by a variety of means including the Internet, public lectures and day schools.

The MUCJS is based within the Religions & Theology Subject Area in the School of Arts, Histories & Cultures. It is the only such Department in the UK to have achieved perfect scores in both teaching and research assessment exercises.
