We are proud to announce the launch of the new Chinese website for Manchester Metropolitan University: https://mmuchina.com.cn/.

Manchester Metropolitan University is one of the largest universities in the UK, with a community of over 34,000 students, including international students from around 130 countries. With a history dating back to 1824, it balances a rich and proud heritage with a modern and ambitious approach. It boasts a triple accredited business school, as well as several world-renowned alumni including Dame Judy Dench and Sarah Burton OBE, Creative Director of Fashion at Alexander McQueen.

Regroup have been engaged to build and support the new Chinese website that launched this month. The website will become a bridge for the University to share information with Chinese partners and students about popular courses, entry requirements, rankings, scholarships, pre-sessional English courses, halls and latest news stories. The website will help partners and students develop a deeper understanding about the University and prepare for applications.

Scott Muir, MD of Regroup, said: “We responded to our client’s brief by creating highly engaging, responsive pages which showcase the testimonials of current students and alumni, using strong, attractive images, and presenting the many benefits of not only Manchester Met, but the city of Manchester as a whole, as a great study and living experience for international students.”

“We are delighted with the launch of our new university website for China. This will strengthen the communication between our Chinese partners, students and parents by having a dedicated space to share information about the University.”
– Kay Morgan, Head of International Recruitment and Marketing at Manchester Metropolitan University

WeChat’s Mini Programs can facilitate e-commerce functionality on WeChat and is amongst the most popular in China for social commerce. In 2020, the platform facilitated transactions worth an estimated 1.6 trillion yuan ($250 billion). That was double its 2019 transaction value.

WeChat hosts over 2 million Mini Programs, compared to Apple App Store’s 1.96 million and Google Play Store’s 2.87 million. This platform is growing year on year and has rapidly established itself as a highly effective low-cost route to reaching the China market.

Regroup China has been building WeChat mini programs for many European luxury and high street retailers as well as food and drink brands and developing booking capabilities for the student property market.

China accounted for around 50% of global online retail sales in 2020! As China’s online population is set to increase, this figure will only go up and selling to WeChat’s rapidly-growing audience will become ever more important.

Join Regroup in a Webinar on Friday 19th March, at 11am BST on how to set up and use a WeChat mini program to establish a direct sales route to the world’s largest online market. Click here for further details
