Manchester Business School Master in Management - Master in Management Programs

Whether you want to run your own company, change the business environment from within or contribute to solving the world's problems, we can give you the skills you need.

We realise not everyone wants to be the CEO of an enormous multinational organisation or an elite business leader. Climbing the corporate ladder may not interest you at all. That's why the MSc Management is different.

We’re looking for people who are:

Creative
Ambitious
Dynamic
Hardworking
Able to think critically
Looking for a new challenge

You might be a musician who wants to run an organisation that fundraises for arts charities.

You might be a politics graduate who wants to change policy at government level.

You might be a biology student who wants to start an environmental awareness business.

You might be an engineering graduate with a passion for providing solutions to infrastructure issues in developing countries.

Whatever your background and personal goals, we want people who can challenge conventional thinking and want to make a real impact on society.

You’re not the traditional management graduate. But this is not a traditional management programme. Today’s business world needs people with a different set of skills, who look at problems from different angles and care about the issues that really matter.

A different focus
We realise not everyone wants to be the CEO of an enormous multinational organisation or an elite business leader. Climbing the corporate ladder may not interest you at all. That’s why the MSc Management is different. Most management courses will give you a strong foundation in the basics of business, like finance, marketing and strategy. Very few also give you a thorough understanding of sustainability, social responsibility and social entrepreneurship, helping you challenge the way businesses think and make a positive impact on society.

Challenge the norm
Through lectures, case studies, seminars and group-based project work you question established models of thinking and find alternative ways of organising and managing. You look at current international business issues in a new light and from a different perspective.

Support when you need it
As a Manchester Business School masters student you have access to one of the best careers services in higher education. We work closely with employers and help them recruit the best students through a wide range of events and workshops. Whatever your plans after graduation, we can give you bespoke, personal support and development opportunities to help improve your prospects. This intensive, challenging, one-year masters gives you the business knowledge and skills to underpin a successful career in the private, public or not-for-profit sector.

Learning by doing
We believe that people learn best when they can see the practical applications of what they’re studying. Our MSc Management isn’t just about lectures and assignments, we also give you challenging group projects to test your thinking, your team working skills and help you apply your knowledge to today’s real-life business issues.
