and is looking to produce the next generation of original thinkers.
The University of Manchester
From the pioneer of the modern computer to the isolation of graphene,
The University of Manchester has a heritage of producing innovative,
freethinking individuals. This reputation is not just about history, it’s
an ongoing legacy that you can be a part of.
A member of the prestigious Russell Group of universities, Manchester

They say it’s not just what you know, it’s who you know. At Alliance MBS, you’ll rub shoulders with the very
best. Alliance MBS is one of the foremost centres for business and management studies in the world.
Home to professors and specialists that are more than industry leaders; they’re world changers.
In September 2015, Manchester Business School became Alliance Manchester Business School in
recognition of Lord Alliance of Manchester’s support and longstanding relationship with the University
and the Business School. Founded in 1965, we are one of the UK’s first business schools andcelebrated
our 50th anniversary in 2015.
“Business students across the world will invariably read the same books, attend the same lectures.
So, if students and aspiring entrepreneurs really want to stand out and succeed, then my advice
would be that they need to be creative.
They need to explore what is not written in the textbooks. The global economy is changing very,
very fast, and it is essential that we educate young people to manage these changes and be able to
respond to them.”

Pick and mix
Other business-related courses.
There are a number of related courses offered by The University of Manchester,
which are taught in collaboration between Manchester Business School and the
School of Social Sciences. This allows you to take advantage of internationallyrecognised and research-led teaching in subjects that are complementary to
accounting, finance and business – so you will benefit from a learning experience
that is broad ranging, flexible and topical.
The BA (Economic and Social
Studies) or BA (Econ) is
multidisciplinary course designed
to give you maximum flexibility and
choice. In the first year, all students
follow a broad programme of
study. In your second and third
years, you can specialise in
accounting, business studies,
development studies, economics,
finance, politics, philosophy,
criminology or sociology.

What you study
Year 1
You will follow a broadly based
social science first year, which
includes a mixture of compulsory
and optional course units. This
structure will give you a firm
grounding in the social sciences
whilst allowing you the flexibility
to choose from a wide range of
optional course units to suit your
individual interests.
You will study:
—— Accounting and Finance
– 30 compulsory credits
—— Economics – 20 credits
—— Mathematics and Statistics
– 20 credits

You will choose a further
30 credits from remaining
first year course units in
Economic History, Development
Studies or any of the above
subject areas.
Year 2
You will begin to specialise in one
or two subject areas. You will
continue to study various core
course units in accounting and/
or finance, but these will be
studied in more depth. Your
choice of course units will largely
be determined by what you
intend to specialise in during
your final year. You can choose
up to 80 credits in any one
subject area.
The accounting and finance
subject areas are supported by
a wide range of optional course
units covering specialist topics
such as Foundations of Finance,
Intermediate Management
Accounting, Financial Markets
and Institutions and Introduction
to Business Information Systems.
Business Studies specialists can
choose from course units such
as International Business
Strategy, Business Economics
and Marketing Research.
Year 3
During your final year, you will
become more specialised in your
chosen subject area, choosing
from a wide range of relevant
options such as Public Finance
and Public Policy, Accountability
