“Learning by doing” has been at the heart of Manchester Global MBA. Management teaching has been always built around practical studies. During the first year, students will start their MBA study by familiarizing with a comprehensive picture of the business word, and will be taking a journey to understand the main disciplines of Business Management. Over the second year students will be given the opportunity to choose optional courses during and further explore in relevant areas of management as well as to demonstrate their learning through handling a real-life project.
As an academically stringent institution, academic integrity has always given first priority. Dr. Jiyao Xun then moved on to preparing the students with the expected Academic Code of Conduct throughout the duration of the programme. Ms. Roya Zhang, Careers and External Relations Manager also explained to the students the resources that are available to students during and even after their MBA studies from local and the international network that The University of Manchester offers to students and alumni.
The overall induction session was the first face-to-face contact to prepare the MBA students for the challenges over the next 2 years.
