At the Manchester Global MBA, you'll embrace the mantra: "Challenge yourself. Change direction. Transform your career."

In a broader sense, your Global MBA degree can significantly influence your career trajectory.

Matt Whately, Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Current Global MBA Student
"I'm Matt Whately, and I hail from Canada. A sense of adventure brought me to China. I've worked lots of different jobs -- big companies, small companies, government -- nothing stuck. So I struck out in search of adventure and found it in Shanghai. I am currently the Executive Director of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and studying my first term of the Global MBA. It's a trial by fire.
I chose the Manchester Global MBA because I wanted to go somewhere different -- new connections, new places -- and the Global MBA program offered a lot of flexibility, allowing me to continue working. I'm enjoying the program because, while I have direct working experience, it provides the theory behind it and fills in some knowledge gaps.
The lessons are very good. The information is very good. When you get down to it and work hard, you can definitely find success. Managing this, alongside a social life and family life, is a balancing act. It's challenging, but at the end of the day, it gives me the credentials I need to take the next step."
Tan Lee Lee, SBA Stone Forest, Head of China, Manchester Global MBA, Class of 2018 Alumna
"My key takeaway from the Global MBA program is an expanded mindset. This MBA program has elevated my career to a new level. In managing my team, I feel that my leadership skills have improved. I've learned management techniques, such as how to motivate my staff, and I now understand how to build a career and align my goals with my company's objectives.
Communication was a key focus, and it's something I've carried forward. The diversity and internationalism initially drew me to the program, and we had the opportunity to visit various international centers like Manchester and Dubai. There was significant interaction with classmates from different backgrounds. I realized that communication is critical in everything we do, both academically and professionally. I believe I have come a long way, and it wouldn't have been possible without the support of my colleagues and friends. As alumni, we still stay in touch and support each other. For me, the entire experience was life-changing."
