Overview

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. The application of original thinking is at the heart of everything we do. Our distinctive approach is captured in our brand essence Original Thinking Applied.

All our MBA programmes offer a fusion of first class academia and applied learning through real-life projects. It is this original, innovative and successful learning model – the Manchester Method - that sets our programmes apart.

Full-time MBA
Our unique 18-month full-time MBA programme delivers the competitive edge, international experience and added value other shorter programmes simply cannot match.

You'll spend at least 30% of your time working on projects, putting theory into practice to bring learning to life. This includes the International Business Project – an opportunity for you and your team to conduct more than 2,000 hours of intensive client-focused work with organisations of the calibre of AstraZeneca, American Express, DHL and Roche. By working in multi-cultural groups you will acquire the real-world experience and team working skills that modern employers look for in their future leaders. You can really tailor your MBA experience by choosing to take part in an internship, international exchange and to specialize through electives.

Part-time MBA Programmes

Manchester Global MBA
The part-time Manchester Global MBA offers a unique combination of face-to-face workshops, interactive online learning and self-study, providing a stimulating learning experience that will keep you motivated to succeed, whilst you continue to work.

Wherever you go in the world, you can take your MBA with you. The same residential workshops and facilities are available at any of our international centres across nine destinations worldwide. The Manchester Global MBA is designed to fit around the home, work and travel commitments of even the busiest international executive.

The flexibility of our Global MBA programme means it can be tailored to fit your personal needs and ambitions. You may select the general stream or opt for one of our specialist learning streams in finance, engineering, construction or sport and major events.

Manchester Global MBA (Accelerated)
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.

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.
