While the University of Manchester does not advertise its acceptance rate, we believe it is in the moderate selectivity category. 

With a class of approximately 96 students, Manchester MBA's applicants hailed from 100 different countries. There is an emphasis on the academic record, work experience (average of around 7 years), and prior leadership experience. A competitive GMAT average of around 639 is helpful, but other factors including an academic and professional plan, and other personal financial achievements and interview performance will also be taken into account.

Absolutely! MBA in Finance is open to graduates from all the streams including engineering, arts, science, etc. You might need to brush up on basics of accounting, finance, and statistics before joining but your analytical and problem-solving skills from other backgrounds can actually be a huge advantage in finance roles.

Not necessarily! Most top MBA colleges accept fresh graduates, especially in India even IIM's also accept fresh graduates. However, 1to 3 years of work experience can help you understand real-world finance better and improve your chances for top-tier colleges or higher packages. Work experience also makes your profile stronger if you plan to specialize in investment banking, consulting or corporate finance while pursuing MBA Finance.

Interesting question, To make this clear think of it like this, MBA Finance is more of a practical and industry oriented. MBA in Finance degree focuses on corporate finance, investment banking, financial planning, and management skills that companies look for & on the opposite side M.Com in Finance is academically focused, emphasizing theory, accounting, taxation and research. So, if your goal is a corporate finance career then MBA is usually preferred while M.Com is great if you want to go for research, teaching or a deep understanding of financial concepts.
