Randa Bessiso, Director - Middle East, The University of Manchester, comments:
“Graduation is a very special occasion and we are delighted to be able to celebrate this with our students in the region. Our part-time business Master’s degree programmes are very demanding and the achievement of these graduates is especially impressive given recent disruption to lives and work. Our students from the Middle East are also top performers and the vast majority earn their degrees with a Distinction or Merit. Graduation is the start of a new relationship with the University as part of our global alumni network of 60,000 Alliance MBS graduates in 176 countries. Our aim is to help students and graduates build successful, fulfilling and sustainable careers through a lifelong relationship with the University.”
Congratulations to all our new graduates.
