Manchester Business School
The School
Manchester Business School is the name of the School formed as a result of the merger of the Institute of Innovation Research (IoIR), The Victoria University of Manchester's School of Accounting and Finance, UMIST's Manchester School of Management and Manchester Business School in 2004.
As a result we are able to offer a much bigger choice of programmes and electives to our students, and more opportunities for career development amongst our staff. Our students have the opportunity to learn in a forward-thinking, research-led environment, working with internationally-renowned academics.
The School has a broad base of subject areas, in five dedicated divisions -
• Business Systems (BS)
• Manchester Accounting and Finance Group (MAFG)
• Marketing, International Business and Strategy (MIBS)
• Innovation, Management and Policy (IMP)
• People, Management and Organisations (PMO)
In an increasingly competitive environment we intend to stand out as an international and progressive School, ambitious enough to lead business thinking and open-minded enough to learn from the contemporary commercial environment. At the same time we aim to be responsive and flexible to the needs of our stakeholders.
Building on the heritage of our partners, we provide world-class business and management education to undergraduates, postgraduates, highly experienced practitioners and people wishing to pursue academic careers. We compete on a global scale for the best students and staff, and will continue to generate ground-breaking research that is recognised by peers and practitioners across the globe.
We have around 2,000 students on campus and over 200 teaching staff, making Manchester the largest campus-based business school in the UK. We also support more than 3,500 students worldwide through distance-learning and external programmes, and benefit from excellent links with both business and the public sector.

Leading surveys, such as the Financial Times, consistently place us as one of the top ten business schools in Europe and among the top 25 in the world. We produce highly skilled students and offer superb experience in meeting real business challenges. This explains why top global businesses, such as American Express, Balfour Beatty, L'Oreal and IBM choose to employ our graduates.
Competitive advantage
Our graduates rapidly become confident, capable, experienced global managers of the 21st century. That's why 95% of our students found rewarding employment just three months after graduating.
