About Us

International Business College Manchester (IBC) is an independent higher education college founded in 2010, with campus locations in Manchester and London.

Our strategic vision is to provide high-quality, career-focused higher education that gives students the knowledge, technical capability and professional skills needed to succeed in a changing global economy.

IBC’s core higher education portfolio includes NCC Education Level 4 and Level 5 Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs) in Business and Computing and our Post-Graduate Diploma in Management (L7) . These programmes are designed to develop practical, higher-level skills aligned with employer needs and provide clear progression routes into employment, further professional development and university study.

We place strong emphasis on employability. Alongside academic learning, students develop communication, digital, leadership, teamwork, problem-solving and commercial skills, helping them build the confidence and capabilities required for successful careers.

IBC also provides an international dimension to the student experience through opportunities for international study, internships, employer engagement and interaction with students from different cultures and backgrounds.

Our students are supported within an inclusive and ambitious learning environment where education extends beyond the classroom. We encourage students to build professional networks, develop lasting relationships and engage in activities that support their personal and career development.

IBC is committed to high standards of teaching, academic quality and continuous improvement. We invest in the professional development of our teaching staff and continue to expand our portfolio in areas where there is strong employer demand and clear career progression.

IBC operates from two strategically located city-centre campuses: close to Manchester Piccadilly in Manchester and on Oxford Street in central London. Both locations provide excellent public transport connections and give students direct access to two of the UK’s leading centres for business, technology, culture and employment. This dual-campus presence supports IBC’s ambition to widen access, strengthen employer engagement and provide students with high-quality higher education opportunities in two major UK cities.

Our ambition is to be recognised as a distinctive, career-focused higher education institution known for the quality of its teaching, the relevance of its programmes and the success of its students.
