Manchester MBA

The Full-time MBA is divided into two distinct stages: the Diploma and the MBA.

Diploma stage - 13 courses (210 credits)
The aim of the Diploma stage is to equip you with the tools for analysing management problems. A number of core courses cover the basic disciplines of business and management. Each core course credit comprises 30 hours' class time. Teaching methods include lectures, case studies, tutorials and group project work.

MBA stage - 8 courses (150 credits)
The aim of this stage is to allow you both to put into practice what you have learned during the Diploma stage and to deepen your knowledge in specialist subjects. This includes a menu of electives, projects and special programmes from which you accumulate further credits.

The International Exchange Programme takes place during the Autumn term of the MBA stage and is one of the largest of its kind.

With over 50 partner schools across the globe you will benefit from the experience of a different business culture first hand, make contact with potential employers in your chosen country and take specialist elective courses to complement your Manchester MBA.
