At the University of Manchester China Centre, we’re committed to fostering dialogue that shapes a sustainable future. Recently, we proudly hosted Professor Ning Gao, Professor of Finance (Chair) at 英国曼彻斯特大学 - 曼彻斯特商学院, for an impactful ESG Open Lecture in Beijing: “Forcing Companies to Pay for Their Environmental Deficits.” With his globally recognized expertise in sustainable finance and ESG risks, Professor Gao delivered a masterclass that challenged us to rethink corporate accountability.

Another Successful Workshop in Shanghai! We were delighted to welcome Professor Ning Gao to the University of Manchester China Centre, where MBA students gathered to explore Business Accounting and Finance. 💡 Why Do MBA Students Learn Business Accounting and Finance? As future business leaders, MBA students study accounting not just to “crunch numbers,” but to master the language of value creation. Our learning journey began by examining how accounting measures—and sometimes challenges—traditional ideas of firm value. Now, we’re diving deeper into strategic corporate finance, where financial decisions become powerful tools for driving sustainable growth.
