Recommended application deadlines
Entry to the Lancaster Global MBA is very competitive. We strongly advise applicants to apply as early as possible in the admissions cycle to allow for application processing time
Completing your application
Applications are submitted via the University's online application system.
When you apply online, you will be able to track the progress of your application after submission. As part of your application, you have to nominate two referees who can comment on your suitability for the programme. The referees should be people who are able to comment on your academic ability and your professional experience. If you left University several years ago and are unable to submit an academic reference, then two professional references will be acceptable. Your referees will be contacted via our system to provide a reference, if you have not already supplied them.
Application checklist
Please ensure you upload the following to your online application:
- a detailed CV
- degree certificate
- degree transcript
- GMAT score report (if applicable)
- IELTS/TOEFL/PTE score report (if applicable)
- two references (at least one professional), unless you have requested us to contact your referees
If you do not have all the required documentation you should indicate when these will become available.
Selection process
Application review
Once we have received your application and evaluated all essential supporting documents and test scores, a decision will be made regarding whether to shortlist you for interview. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified by email.
Interview
If we shortlist you for interview we aim to offer you an interview slot within two to three weeks.
We interview all suitable applicants who are based outside the UK, either face-to-face (if our MBA team are attending a recruitment event locally) or by telephone.
Offers of a place
We aim to notify you of our final decision within 48 hours of the interview. If we offer you a place, we ask that you respond within three weeks of receiving your formal offer. An offer is only valid while there are still places available on the programme.
