Apart from Manchester UK, we have 6 international centres around the world including Shanghai, Hongkong, Singapore, Dubai, Miami and Sao Paulo. The dual degree MBA students can choose MBS electives at Hongkong, Singapore, UK or other international centres. So the programme is very international in terms of study experience.”

Through this interactive communication, the students felt confident and showed their enthusiasm and high expectation for the upcoming MBA journey.
