The Didsbury College of Education, Wilmslow Road, Didsbury, Manchester, England, is a campus of Manchester Metropolitan University. Originally a "handsome house of circa 1785", the building was massively expanded for use as a Wesleyan training college in the 19th century and then became a school of education. Didsbury College opened as a Wesleyan Methodist college in 1843 but after the Methodist reunion of 1932 it was not the only Methodist college of its type in Manchester; during World War II the site was used as a military hospital and after the war the church closed it and sold the site. The college was designated a Grade II* listed building on 25 February 1952.
