Manchester Business School (MBS) is the business and management school of the University of Manchester, England.

Contents

[edit] Background

The Manchester Business School was formed in 2004 as a result of the merger of the Manchester School of Accounting and Finance, the "old" Manchester Business School (which was founded in 1965, together with the London Business School, after the Franks Report was published) of the Victoria University of Manchester and the Manchester School of Management of UMIST. The school comes under the humanities division of the University of Manchester.

It offers Ph.D, MBA (full time and executive), several specialist masters programmes as well as top-ranked undergraduate degrees. As of 2006, a minimum work experience of 3 years and a minimum GMAT score of 600 is required for admission to the MBA programs. The 18 months full time MBA program is known for its "Manchester Method" which puts emphasis on learning by doing throughout the entire duration of the programme, including significant real life projects [1], compared to arguably more academic MBA courses.

Professor Michael Luger is the new Director since January 2007; he came from the Kenan-Flagler Business School, part of University of North Carolina.

[edit] Accreditation and reputation

The Manchester Business School is part of a small and select band of institutions worldwide which receive triple accreditation by AACSB International, AMBA and EQUIS.

The School was recently ranked among the top 25 business schools in the world for the second time for its MBA program, and second in the world for its doctoral program [2]. The School has a high international student composition. In the previous 2001 Research Assessment Exercise (pre-merger) the 'old' Manchester Business School and Manchester School of Management were rated 5; and Manchester School of Accounting and Finance was rated 5* (five star).
