Manchester Business School, The University of Manchester

If you have the stamina to take it on, the Manchester MBA can help transform your career and change your life.

At Manchester Business School we offer a range of accredited and unique MBA programmes to suit your career goals and professional situation. The Manchester MBA is transformational. It marks you out as academically accomplished and, crucially, able to apply what you have learned to the workplace to deliver tangible results immediately.

Full-time MBA Programme

On the Manchester Full-time MBA we ensure you get a thorough grounding in business theory, and give you the opportunity to put it into practice from day one with international projects, live consultancy work and internships with high profile, multinational corporations.

Our unique, hands-on approach to learning gives you more client-facing hours than almost any other MBA programme – nearly six months’ worth – so you can
test theories immediately in real world situations and won’t feel completely removed from the commercial environment.

Take your international experience up a level: As well as the International Exchange Programme, benefit from an additional study abroad opportunity by choosing to take an elective offered on our Global (Part-time) MBA Programme. You could find yourself studying alongside professionals on our Part-time MBA in one of our global centres.

If you have the determination to build your own networks and develop your own career opportunities, our dedicated MBA Careers Service have the contacts,
resources and expert guidance to help you achieve your career goals.

The MBA is the first step of your journey; where you are at the end is up to you. Who will you become?

Part-time MBA Programmes

The Manchester Global (Part-time) MBA Programme

Flexible enough to accommodate the demands of a busy career, the Global MBA combines face-to-face workshops and online learning with leading academics, delivered at any of our 7 global centres in Manchester, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Sao Paulo and Miami.

Residential workshops provide a minimum 24 hours of face-to-face contact per course which is more direct contact than many part-time on campus programmes.

You can enhance your general management skills to move up or change career. Or you may want to progress specifically in finance, engineering, or project management fields, by selecting a specialist pathway.

We recognise the importance of career progression and aim to deliver a careers service that supports you to achieve your aspirations. Our Global Career Service is a tailor made career service specifically for part-time students. The service is available both through our online student portal and face-to-face through our global centres. This blended approach allows students to access the Global Careers Service wherever they may be in the world, giving access to worldwide recruiters and job opportunities.

Global business isn’t just about systems and processes; it’s about people. Our students are high achievers at the top of their game: ambitious, dynamic and diverse. Can you rise to the challenge?

The Manchester Global (Accelerated) MBA Programme

The Accelerated MBA programme is aimed at high achievers who are adept at juggling their professional and personal commitments, and relish the challenge of fitting concentrated, part-time study into their busy schedules.

If you can rise to the challenge you will find yourself among like-minded executives, many of whom are CEOs, consultants, directors and senior managers of major global companies, who will greatly enhance your learning experience.

With a focus on leadership, innovation and internationalism, the Accelerated MBA will help you stay abreast of changes in technology, management theory and environmental issues and give you the skills and understanding to be a future leader in the fast-moving global workplace.
