As one of the top 1% of business schools globally, recognised through triple accreditation (AACSB, AMBA, and EQUIS), we are committed to excellence in teaching, impactful research, and meaningful industry engagement.
Based in the very heart of Manchester, the UK’s ‘first industrial city’, Manchester Metropolitan University Business School attracts a diverse student body from over 75 countries across the world. Alongside our history of industrial revolution, Manchester is one of only six cities across the world to hold both UNESCO City of Lifelong Learning and City of Literature status. This rich heritage of interdisciplinary curiosity makes Manchester the perfect location to engage in further study.
The city’s vision to be ‘inclusive, innovative and forward focused’ is mirrored by our own ambition. Our commitment to outstanding student experiences places us in the top 15 universities in England. Our focus on meaningful contribution means that 100% of our research impact has been externally evaluated as ‘World Leading’ or ‘Internationally Excellent’. The curiosity that our home city encourages also sends us further afield, allowing us to work with academic and industry partners across the globe, to further enhance the offering we provide our students..
