Services To Business

Throughout its long history Manchester Metropolitan University Business School (MMUBS) has focused on meeting the needs of the business community in the UK and the North West region in particular. Human Resource Management has always been a key element of that strategy, as our 60 plus years of association with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development demonstrates. MMUBS has been a CIPD Centre of Excellence for as long as that designation has existed.

The Centre for Professional Personnel and Development aims to provide a means of easy access to the services that we offer the business community from consultancy to applied research; qualification based courses to tailor made learning and development solutions; change interventions to individual coaching.
