The fully AMBA accredited Salford MBA is amulti-disciplinary programme that has been designed to foster a broad spectrumof business skills that are in demand across all areas of industry.
Dean of Salford Business School, Professor David Spicer, said: “I’m really excited about this partnership with Manchester Storm. It’s perfectly aligned with the University’s new Industry Collaboration Zone (ICZ) strategy and is a fantastic opportunity for not just Salford Business School students but for students across the whole University.
Ensuring our students have theopportunity to gain the crucial industry experience required to set them apart from the crowd in the graduate market is of upmost importance to us. That’s why we are always looking for opportunities for our students such as this new partnership.
