Course overview

Whether you’re looking to progress to a more senior leadership role or grow your own business, the Manchester Met MBA is designed to help you build momentum in your career. Shaped around flexible hybrid learning and immersive three-day block teaching, the programme is built to fit around your professional and personal commitments while giving you the skills, confidence, and insight to take the next step. You’ll develop the leadership capabilities to create impact for your team, organisation, and wider community.

Our MBA is research-informed and co-created with industry experts, making it the programme for responsible leaders, managers, and employers who champion productivity, sustainability, and ethical decision-making. The learning you experience will equip you to make informed decisions that drive positive outcomes both professionally and beyond.

By pursuing your MBA with us, you’ll graduate from a triple-accredited business school (EQUIS, AACSB and AMBA) recognised internationally for excellence in teaching and research, giving you the credibility and global perspective to stand out.

Course information

The Manchester Met MBA is designed with the challenges of modern leadership in mind. Teaching is informed by research and aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, helping you develop the skills to lead responsibly, sustainably, and globally.

You will learn from industry-connected academics who bring real-world business experience into the classroom, applying knowledge to live case studies and organisational challenges. Each module also features a guest lecture delivered by industry leaders from the UK and overseas, giving you insights you can put into practice immediately.

Our hybrid teaching model gives you the flexibility to choose how you attend each module, either on campus or online, without compromising your experience. Teaching is delivered in immersive three-day blocks, with no weekly campus attendance, allowing you to balance your MBA alongside work and life commitments. Assessments are practical and work-focused, designed to strengthen your skills and confidence rather than testing memorisation, so you can apply what you learn straight away.

Over two years, you will complete eight 15-credit modules – four in year one and four in year two – and two 30-credit projects, one in each year. While some in-person attendance is required, you may choose to study up to four modules online across the two years. You will also have the opportunity to join your cohort on a study abroad trip, broadening your global perspective and deepening connections with peers.

Features and benefits

  • Explore contemporary challenges such as sustainability, digitalisation, ethical management, and wellbeing, and develop the skills to lead responsibly and create positive impact.
  • Balance profitability with purpose through a research-informed curriculum that equips you to make ethical and strategic business decisions.
  • Flexible, hybrid learning lets you choose how you attend each module, combining immersive block teaching with online participation, without compromising the collaborative classroom experience.
  • Practical, work-focused assessments and industry-led projects allow you to apply your learning immediately and strengthen your confidence, skills, and self-momentum.
  • Become a graduate of a triple-accredited business school (EQUIS, AACSB, AMBA), recognised internationally for excellence in teaching, research, and leadership development.
  • Build your professional network through a close-knit cohort, alumni mentoring, and access to industry leaders, fostering collective momentum and lifelong connections.
