Alliance Manchester Business School's Global MBA is a 24-month part-time distance-learning MBA that combines online study with workshop residentials in Manchester or listed global centres. The university describes each module as including a workshop residential. Official pages disagree on whether face-to-face teaching is up to 28 or 31 days, so that figure is not treated as settled.

The school’s page presented this as a current program. Last checked 2026-10-27. Confirm the details with the school before you apply.
