From Manchester to the world

Immerse yourself in a diverse, international environment that enriches your perspective and equips you with the skills to thrive in a global marketplace.

Local expertise, global impact

We take our inspiration from the city that surrounds us. Manchester and its people are renowned for their vision, creativity and entrepreneurial spirit - vital qualities for tomorrow's business leaders.

From the start of the Industrial Revolution to the birth of the computer age, from splitting the atom to the discovery of graphene, Manchester has always been at the forefront of global innovation and change.

That unique Manchester spirit is reflected in all of our professional MBA programmes and in the graduates we produce - even if you never set foot in the city itself.

The Manchester Global MBA stood out for a number of reasons. In particular, I was interested in the international element – not just the opportunity to visit different centres in other countries, but also to work and collaborate with other students all over the world.
