BMaP
BMaP (Business and Management for all Programmes) is a suite of business and management courses offered by Alliance Manchester Business School and is open to all students across the University who are able to take free choice options as part of their degree structure, providing they meet the entry criteria for the course(s) concerned. The student's home school must also approve of the course choice. Visiting students and those on exchange programmes are also eligible to be considered for BMaP courses.
There are numerous reasons why students choose to take BMaP courses:
- To be taught by top academics;
- To gain business acumen;
- To include on your CV;
- To complement and sometimes contrast major studies;
- To meet students from other schools and faculties within the University;
- Interest in the subject area.
