WMG was founded by Professor Lord Bhattacharyya in 1980 in order to reinvigorate UK manufacturing. Our success over the past 30 years is the result of cutting edge research and effective knowledge transfer, working with global companies such as Jaguar LandRover, TATA, TVS, BAE Systems, AstraZeneca, Siemens, GlaxoSmithKline and Airbus to name but a few.

WMG education and research is applied and practical - all of our research projects are dedicated to finding solutions to real world problems. This enables our students to benefit from first-hand understanding of the issues facing modern business and industry. We offer unrivalled postgraduate education to over 1,500 students around the world each year. Our taught modules are continually updated to meet the requirements of new business and industry sectors and the opportunities of globalisation.

The majority of our academic and teaching staff have industrial or business backgrounds which translate into innovative courses closely related to industry. This, coupled with academic excellence, has led to WMG becoming a global group with a number of overseas collaborative education centres. These include centres and collaborative agreements in India at the Confederation of Indian Industry, IIT Kharagpur and IIT Bhubaneswar; China at Hong Kong Polytechnic University and the Vocational Training Council; Singapore at SIM and SIMTech, Cyprus at Eastern Mediterranean University and Thailand at Chulalongkorn University.
