Program Overview

The Lancaster University Master of Business Administration (MBA) programme will equip you with the language, tools, and techniques of business and management. Our curriculum is constantly evolving to ensure our graduates acquire the skills, knowledge and experiences they need to excel in contemporary business environments. Consistently remaining relevant and delivering excellence, the Lancaster MBA is built upon our expertise in responsible and sustainable management. Theory is contextualised through real examples and live cases, and learning is enhanced through practice.

Practice-based learning is integral to the Lancaster MBA. This focus is foregrounded in our four action-learning Challenge Modules, as well as our visits to companies and programme partners, guest lectures from our Entrepreneurs and Leaders in Residence, alumni networking, and business consulting opportunities in London and elsewhere. This approach enables students to make responsible decisions as business leaders; decisions that ensure the best outcomes, that consider our environment, wellbeing, opportunity, risk and more.

Our students are invited to challenge themselves, to develop their mindset and transform themselves into responsible and inclusive leaders. Our students graduate with a resilience that allows them to overcome challenges and identify opportunities, even in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous environments. They are globally fluent and ready to shape businesses and organisations around the world. Our heritage and international community provide students with a global outlook through our diverse cohort, our collaboration with worldwide business, our extensive alumni network, and our international professors. Students are encouraged to embrace, connect with, and learn from the rich and varied cultures they experience.

Guided by the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, we are working to establish stronger connections between business and local communities through hands-on projects driven by the purpose of achieving responsible, sustainable, and inclusive outcomes. The MBA programme will be filled with exciting and challenging opportunities to learn more about business, develop leadership and organisational skills, and establish a global professional network that expands employment opportunities.
