The Lancaster full-time MBA
A year in the UK on the Lancaster MBA – your chance to change yourself and your way of managing
Intellectual development
The Lancaster MBA is an intensive and rigorous programme which recruits highly motivated, experienced managers from across the world. It provides access to cutting edge knowledge across a full range of business and management subjects, taught by 6-star faculty.
Action learning
The programme design is informed by Lancaster’s ground-breaking work in how organisations and managers learn. The result is a dual focus on action learning and critical thinking. You don’t simply absorb theories and models and evaluate them in the classroom – through a series of consultancy assignments you take them right into the workplace to test out their strengths and weaknesses and your own effectiveness in applying them.
Skills enhancement
The programme modules and the allied Career Management Programme develop your skills for whatever management career you have in mind – be it in general management, consultancy, or a new business start-up. Choose a portfolio of electives to match your preferred career route or keep your options open.
International experiences
Through its global mix of students, international exchanges and a series of client-based projects, the programme helps you to improve your international management effectiveness and your understanding of different cultural contexts.
World recognition
The Lancaster MBA is accredited by the Association of MBAs and is in the FT and Economist Intelligence Unit’s global top 100. In 2008 it was ranked by the FT as 22nd in the world.
