Greater Manchester Business School

Our students are taught in small class sizes by lecturers who come from a range of professional backgrounds and have an extensive list of industry connections; this ensures that students get the most out of their learning experience and understand current business practices. Our courses include specialist lectures, visits, workshops, conferences and internships so that students gain ‘hands-on’ business experience and develop impressive portfolios. We enjoy close links with professional bodies including accounting, HRM, marketing, supply chain management, retail and general management, and offer significant professional body exemptions and dual award status on our undergraduate degrees. 

Greater Manchester Business School programmes help small and medium-sized businesses across the North West of England and beyond to seize opportunities to extend their markets, embrace new technologies and improve their performance.

We specialise in courses that are tailored to meet employers’ needs. Many courses are accredited or endorsed by key professional bodies regulating the accountancy, supply chain management and logistics industries. These bodies include:

• The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) 

• Chartered Greater Manchester Business School Accountants (CIMA)

• The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) 

• The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)

• The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)

• Chartered Management Institute (CMI)

• Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM)

• Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS)

• Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT)

We are honoured to grow talented individuals, who will make a difference to the future accountancy and business management workforce. At the University of Bolton, we are proud to know our students by their names, not by their student numbers.
