How does ARWU rank the University of Manchester?

While the University of Manchester does not advertise its acceptance rate, we believe it is in the moderate selectivity category. 

With a class of approximately 96 students, Manchester MBA's applicants hailed from 100 different countries. There is an emphasis on the academic record, work experience (average of around 7 years), and prior leadership experience. A competitive GMAT average of around 639 is helpful, but other factors including an academic and professional plan, and other personal financial achievements and interview performance will also be taken into account. It is certainly a hard admit but not as hard as the US top business school as the applicants still need to meet Manchester's high standards.

If your profile is compatible, you will have a good shot at admission if your application case is compelling and you can show pertinent motivation for completing your MBA within the Manchester programme.
