Training & Education |  


S
et up in 1965, Manchester Business School (MBS) provides world-class business and management education to undergraduates, postgraduates and experienced practitioners. 
As one of EuropeÕs top ten business schools, MBS is placed 4th in the UK by the Financial Times for its MBA 
Ð with its graduates achieving an average 114% increase in their salary just three years after graduation. 
MBS has centres in the worldÕs major business markets including: Singapore, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Dubai and the Americas giving it a truly global reach. 
Those who study at MBS are in good company Ð its alumni include Sir Terry Leahy, chief executive of Tesco; Andy Duncan, chief executive of Channel 4 and Don Cruickshank, former chairman of the London Stock Exchange. 
The length of MBSÕ 18-month MBA programme also gives the School a competitive edge Ð students have time to take more real-time projects Ð in particular, the ten-week International Business Project, where MBAs deliver live consultancy for clients such as American Express and Cadbury Schweppes. Students also benefit from more electives Ð broadening their knowledge in wide areas of business application and have more time to do a semester abroad Ð improving their inter-cultural skills. 
The SchoolÕs excellent industry links also stand MBS students in good stead. Companies such as Morgan Stanley, Accenture, AT Kearney, American Express, Johnson and Johnson, Deutsche Post World Network, Barclays, SITA, Exxon Mobil and Cadbury Schweppes all work closely with MBS through projects and on-campus events. 
MBS has a strong history in the provision of management and executive education in both the private and public sector. Tesco, BP, East Lancashire Primary Care Trust, General Medical Council and G4S all use MBSÕ customised programmes to help provide additional skills for their staff. MBS also runs a programme for High Value Managers, for experienced managers looking for a practical and shorter alternative to an MBA. 
MBSÕ Centre for Engagement is the first point of contact for businesses wishing to obtain consultancy or research services from MBS. Differing levels of research or consultancy can be undertaken ranging from the provision of expert opinion or executive mentoring, through to in-depth studies.
