Why support us?

Business schools play an important role in society: they stimulate minds, develop potential, and seek solutions for many of the challenges facing the world today.

Manchester Business School (MBS) was among the first business schools to be established in Europe. Since the School’s foundation in 1965, it has produced many of the world’s business leaders and educators. In 2004, following the merger of the Victoria University of Manchester and UMIST, we became the largest campus-based business and management school in the UK.

We now provide world-class business and management education and training to undergraduates, postgraduates, experienced practitioners, and those with serious academic and research ambitions. We are an international and progressive school, delivering and applying original business thinking and teaching, informed by the contemporary and commercial environment. Excellence is at the heart of what we do.

The enthusiastic support of our alumni, friends and the business community has made an important contribution to the success the School enjoys today. The generosity of our friends has provided scholarships, endowed chairs, funded research and improved facilities across the School. As we look to build upon our achievements this support will become ever more important.

I hope we will inspire you to join our growing number of supporters. Our Head of Development, Dominic Boyd, would be delighted to answer any questions and detail the impact making an investment in MBS can have.
