What Recent Grads Say See All 11 Comments >

Manchester MBA is very strongly positioned due to its course structure. 18 months was an ideal time frame for me to complete my MBA studies while also getting numerous opportunities to work with both UK and international clients on consulting projects during the course of my study allowing me to gain valuable perspective on various elements of business challenges. I was able to apply my academic learnings to projects and test my hypothesis. This definitely enhanced my overall learning experience.
