All travel must be booked via Key Travel and currently requires you to fill in a risk assessment form prior to booking. This includes UK Trips.
When booking accommodation in Manchester please use Hyatt Regency Manchester which offers preferential rates to The University of Manchester. Do not book the Hyatt Regency Manchester through any other route (such as Corporate card or Key Travel) as only bookings through the linked process will be counted against the University contract. Please instead use the Hyatt's online booking form or contact salc.research@manchester.ac.uk for assistance.
For further information please refer to the University's accommodation guidance.
