Message from Centre Director
 |
Welcome to the MBS China Centre newsletter!
The last few months were absolutely hectic but a truly fruitful season- with the launch of new programmes-- Renmin/Manchester MBA in March and Kelley/Manchester MBA in April in Beijing along with Manchester Global MBA and Tongji/Manchester MBA, China Centre has a total of four MBA programmes in the portfolio. The first group of Kelley Manchester MBA students from China went to Bloomington and enjoyed their induction and first workshop on campus at the University of Indiana.
Many congratulations to our China Centre graduates--over 70 of them flew over to Manchester to attend the very British graduation ceremony in Manchester! I proudly witnessed their transformation, hard work, laughter and tears and experienced the unforgettable and touching graduation ceremony moment as myself also graduated from the Global Executive MBA programme!
In the meantime, 99 high-calibre students(July16 intake) started their learning journey at Alliance Manchester Business School in the stunning hot summer. The induction was successfully held in Shanghai in July. We can’t achieve the great success without support from our alumni, workshop tutors and corporate partners. I’d like to take this opportunity to say a big thank to you all!
Enjoy reading and have a nice summer!
