The Alliance MBS Masters Experience
Our Master's courses will give you the tools for life. Our campus and city, the time of your life.
Manchester is one of the most vibrant and exciting destinations in the world – a place to study, learn and enjoy yourself. Our campus is packed with great social, cultural and support facilities and is located close to the centre of Manchester, the UK’s most popular student city.
As part of the University’s £1billion campus masterplan, we recently unveiled a full interior and exterior building refurbishment that will have a major impact on the student experience.

“The best thing about Manchester is that it is a student-friendly city. There’s always a new place to go and you’ll never stop exploring and discovering new places with your friends. The weather isn’t always great but you are guaranteed good times with different activities around the city or in nearby cities that are easy to visit by train.”
