Is it worth doing MiM from Manchester Business School if I want to work in the UK after graduation?

Question

Hema A · Accepted Answer

If the plan is to stay and work in the UK after your MiM &mdash; the name on the degree isn&rsquo;t the only thing that matters.

Manchester MiM grads do land jobs in the UK, but most start in regional roles &mdash; think operations analyst, business associate, or account manager in cities like Leeds or Birmingham.
Career fairs and employer events are more focused on Northern England, so you&rsquo;ll need to actively apply to London-based roles on your own.
One student who joined a Manchester-based FMCG firm after graduation shared that they used part-time work during the degree to build UK experience, which helped a lot.
The 2-year post-study visa gives time, but students who start applying early (within the first term) and attend every possible recruitment event tend to get better outcomes.
If the goal is MBB or top-tier consulting, it&rsquo;s a tougher route &mdash; but for mid-size firms, strategy roles, or management programs, Manchester can definitely be a stepping stone.

So yes, it&rsquo;s worth it &mdash; if paired with hustle.

The MiM from Manchester Business School is a worthwhile option if you're aiming to work in the UK post-graduation, especially for roles in operations, marketing, retail, and supply chain. The school has a solid reputation in the UK and offers a practical, application-based curriculum that helps in interviews and project-based roles.
Most international students use the UK&rsquo;s 2-year Graduate Route visa to stay back and job hunt. While Manchester doesn&rsquo;t have the same recruiter density as London-based schools, it still sees placements in companies like PwC, Amazon, and local consulting firms. The university&rsquo;s career services are active but expect to do a lot of networking on your own.
For those open to starting in regional roles and working up to London or global HQ positions, Manchester offers a realistic pathway. Cost-wise, it&rsquo;s also more affordable than schools like LBS or Imperial &mdash; which improves ROI over time.
