Reputation where? To the academic jury that votes in Eduniversal (<a href="https://www.eduniversal-ranking.com/business-school-university-ranking-in-united-kingdom.html">https://www.eduniversal-ranking.com/business-school-university-ranking-in-united-kingdom.html</a>) its in the rather average layer of teaching universities with a few notable researchers. At the undergraduate level, it's also rather average and, for employment outcomes, some way below average:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings/business-and-management-studies">https://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/league-tables/rankings/business-and-management-studies</a>&nbsp;It certainly benefits from the most central location of any of the Greater Manchester universities.&nbsp;<br><br>From a UK point of view, I think it has little or no brand premium. Unless you want to enter traditional MBA employers, I'd certainly recommend the OU for its better network and (assuming you have a degree) the fast track into the diploma stage.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>If you are considering traditional MBA employers, however, I strong suggest you look at the management apprenticeship MBAs and MSc which many top UK business schools are phasing out, but are a bargain if you get them. Also consider Executive MBAs if you need more than the academic core content, things like leadership skills, leading-edge elective courses, strong alumni networks and salary premiums. It's the best investment you can make.&nbsp;
