The Lancaster Global MBA

A new country-specific MBA programme

The Lancaster Global MBA is an innovative part-time modular Masters programme for aspiring senior managers, delivered in various countries around the world. 

MBA studentsLike its sister programmes, the Executive MBA and the Full-time MBA, the Global MBA programme focuses on developing managers who understand the complexity of the organisational and business environment, know how to manage effectively within this complexity, and can operate across functional boundaries and at a strategic level.

Unlike those two programmes – which are both based at Lancaster – the Global MBA is ideal for those whose personal circumstances do not allow them to travel to the UK for study. All workshops and teaching are provided in the host country.

Learning though action

Through its core modules, the programme not only provides a comprehensive grounding in general management theory, but – via linked organisationally orientated assignments – lays particular emphasis on the relationship between theory and practice, and how theory can be applied within the organisational context. It puts theory to work!

Adapted to local needs and priorities

While the core structure of the Global MBA remains the same in each location, design flexibility within the programme means it can be tailored to reflect differing local contexts.

The programme runs for two years part-time. Teaching is delivered in-situ in the host countries. The part-time modular programme is typically scheduled in 3-4 day blocks which allow for focused concentration, away from the day-to-day working environment. Teaching and learning methods include both face-to-face workshops and also a virtual learning environment.
