The key requirements for the Manchester MBA program are designed to ensure that students are well-prepared for the rigorous coursework and professional growth offered by the program. Here are the main requirements:
Bachelor’s Degree: You need a good bachelor's degree from a recognized university. Typically, a UK first-class or upper second-class honors degree, or the international equivalent, is expected.
Professional Experience: At least three years of professional work experience is required. This experience should demonstrate progression and achievements in your career.
GMAT/GRE: A GMAT score of 600 or above is generally required, but candidates with a strong academic record and significant professional experience may be considered without it. Alternatively, a comparable GRE score can also be submitted.
English Language Proficiency: If English is not your first language, you will need to prove your proficiency. The usual requirement is an IELTS score of 6.5 or a TOEFL iBT score of 90. Some applicants may be exempt based on their previous education in English-speaking countries.
Application Form: You need to complete the online application form, which includes personal details, education background, and professional experience.
Essays: The application requires essays that typically cover your career goals, reasons for choosing the Manchester MBA, and how you can contribute to the program.
References: Two professional references are required. These should come from individuals who can comment on your professional abilities and suitability for the MBA program.
Interview: If shortlisted, you will be invited for an interview. This can be conducted in person, via Skype, or over the phone, and assesses your fit for the program and your career ambitions.
By meeting these requirements, you demonstrate that you have the academic capability, professional experience, and personal motivation to succeed in the Manchester MBA program.
