The unforgettable experience with Manchester global MBA helped him to recognize himself and strengthen his career path and life goals while he got lost in the future.
On the second year of his studies, he jumped out of his comfort zone and joined an internationally renowned senior management education and training institution.
I think it means more to me than the salary, promotion, networking circle, compared with the traditional understanding of MBA. This is also the most precious experience that the programme brings to me.
Bullets that break the bottleneck in career
Lluvia WU
Vice President of Public Affairs, UPS China
In 2013, Lluvia was the head of the world's largest steel company in China. However, the busy work and achievements cannot stop her from making progress. She joined in Manchester Global MBA programme and started the new challenge. “I have done almost 10 years of public affairs, but I realized that if I need to make bigger breakthroughs and leap in my career, I must have a more holistic and systematic knowledge of business operations, as well as international exposure. Only in this way can we truly help the business development of the company through public affairs, and the Manchester Global MBA is the right platform that can help me."
On her learning journey, she deeply realized that all the departments in the company are connected together.
The whole company is driven by vision, strategy, organizational structure, change and innovation, which is an overall improvement in the pattern.
Time is an article of luxury. I am very fortunate to give myself this precious gift, so that I have the chance to review, think, and see the future.
The development of global exposure
Corrine LIU
Managing Partner
Prowise CPAs
After running her own company for many years, Ms. Corrine found that problems raised by customers becoming more and more broadening during the negotiation. In order to increase the trust with customers and make up my business knowledge, She chose the Manchester Global MBA programme.
Except the part of academic learning, the communication and interaction with classmates are also critical.
“My classmates came from all walks of life with more than 90% from multinational companies.”
I obtained precious classmates friendship and some classmates downloaded learning materials and shared with the whole class in advance which really is helpful to those who are extremely busy in the job. We formed study groups and learn from each other to make progress together.

Phil ZHANG
GM of Integrated
Resource Centre
& EA of CEO
Wanda Media
Phil joined Manchester Global MBA programme in 2014, and accumulated almost 10 years working experience at Lenovo, leading the global tea, to conduct operations management and business development.
When it comes to why MBA matters, Mr. Phil said he was a bit confused and lost about his career path and sometimes cannot find long-term goals for the team, which is the driving force to make this decision.
It is worth mentioning that Mr. Phil started his MBA journey with his wife Tina, “We are not only a companion in life, but also a comrade of arms during the learning journey.”
He also highlighted that through systematic study of business and management, and communication with students from various backgrounds.
Tina and I came to understand ourselves more and the significance of the big pattern for a leader.
At the session of Q&A, four alumni stressed that MBA study is not easy, and the first semester could be described as “painfulness”, but through your hard work, and practical study skills with strong self-driving force, you will definitely achieve the transformation to excellent.
