On behalf of Manchester Business School Middle East Centre, our warmest congratulations to all our new graduates on your achievement and we look forward to continuing our relationship with all of you, as part of our growing alumni community.
The quality of our students has been the defining feature of MBS in the Middle East, since we opened our centre in Dubai, in 2006. Many are already in senior positions and a significant proportion joins us with an existing Master's level education and/or professional qualification.
