He was educated at the Manchester Grammar School (then a direct grant grammar school) and in 1975 was a member of the winning school team in the English Speaking Union Public Speaking Competition.

Michael Crick then studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at New College, Oxford and graduated with a first-class honours Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree.
At Oxford, he was editor of the student newspaper, Cherwell; founded both the Oxford Handbook and the Oxbridge Careers Handbook; chaired the Democratic Labour Club; and was president of the Oxford Union in Michaelmas Term 1979, succeeding Theresa May’s future husband Philip.
After university, the Labour Party gave Crick the opportunity to contest the safe seat of Bootle but he turned down the offer. Michael Crick started work at ITN as a trainee journalist in 1980. He was a founding member of the Channel 4 News team when the programme was launched in November 1982. During his period as their Washington correspondent (1988–1990), Crick won an award from the Royal Television Society for his coverage of the 1988 Presidential election between George H. W. Bush and Michael Dukakis.
They have a daughter, Isabel, born in 2006. He also has an older daughter, Catherine, born in 1987, from his former marriage to Margaret Crick, who was his wife from 1985 to 2008.
