March 2026

Dear friends and alumni,

As we move from the warmth of Spring Festival into the momentum of March, a new season begins — one that invites reflection, renewal, and decisive action. On behalf of the University of Manchester China Centre, thank you for being part of our growing community.

This month, we are honoured to welcome the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Manchester on his return visit to China. During this visit, we will host the “Challenge Accepted” global campaign launch, together with alumni dinners in Shanghai and Beijing. We warmly invite alumni across China to reconnect, exchange perspectives, and shape the next chapter of our shared journey.

March will also feature a series of Global Part-time MBA open classes and themed events in Shanghai and Beijing. Discussions will explore innovation strategy, women’s leadership, organisational transformation in the AI era, the “second career curve,” and policy-driven energy transition — issues that are reshaping both business practice and individual career trajectories.

Looking ahead to 2026, the China Centre will proudly mark its 18th anniversary — a milestone symbolising continuity, growth, and renewed ambition. We look forward to progressing together with every learner, alumnus, and partner as we build a future that is more open, more connected, and more globally engaged.

As spring unfolds, may you move forward with clarity and confidence. May your ambitions remain steady, and your next step purposeful.

We look forward to welcoming you to our March events.
