‘Best Student Cities’(QS 2017)

Manchester, the original modern city, birth place of the computer and the industrial revolution, is a European business capital, and a vibrant multicultural city where students of all races and religions quickly feel at home.

A city bursting with character, Manchester has a proud history in science, music, arts and sport. Today, the city combines this heritage with a progressive vision for a ‘Northern Powerhouse’.

The campus and city are jam-packed with unique and eclectic restaurants, bars, traditional pubs, shops, museums and galleries whilst the surrounding area offers quaint market towns, bohemian suburbs and beautiful green spaces.

We have one of the largest Chinatowns in the UK and our famous ‘curry mile’ is a student favourite. Our music scene is unrivalled. Seminal Manchester bands include The Smiths, The Stone Roses and Joy Division and modern-day heroes Elbow, Oasis and Doves all hail from here.

A packed calendar of world-class events and festivals – from the landmark Manchester International Festival to the Christmas Markets – mean there’s always something going on outside your lectures.

They say it’s not just what you know, it’s who you know. At Manchester Business School you’ll rub shoulders with the very best. MBS is one of the foremost centres for business and management studies in the world. Home to professors and specialists that are more than industry leaders; they’re world changers.

Why Manchester?

Alliance Manchester Business School

Coming on an exchange will improve your employment prospects when you graduate. Graduates who have studied abroad are more appealing to employers, and “graduates who have studied abroad tend to be more culturally aware, able to work in multicultural teams and move around the world as part of their career”. – The Guardian

You’ll be able to meet new people, experience a different approach to teaching and, in Manchester, a vibrant and exciting culture.
