Entry requirements
To be considered for admission to the Lancaster Global MBA, you will normally require all of the following:
- a good first degree (typically second class honours or above) from a recognised university
- a minimum of five years’ full-time professional work experience after graduating
- a well-balanced GMAT score* of at least 600 (including good AWA score) if your degree was obtained from a non-UK university
- two good references, one from your current or most recent employer (normally your immediate line manager) and one from someone who is able to judge your academic ability
- a satisfactory interview with a member of the Global MBA admissions team
You will also need to include with your application a copy of your degree certificate or transcript, and a CV, plus relevant English language test certificates (see below).
Applicants who cannot meet the requirements above because they do not have a first degree or have not completed GMAT may in some instances be admitted subject to satisfactory completion of the Lancaster Admissions Essay and interview with the Programme Director. Please contact us for details.
English language requirements
The nature of the programme means that all participants will need a high level of ability in both written and spoken English.
If your first degree was not taught in English, you will need to provide evidence of capability in English. Normally this will be in the form of IELTS test score (minimum of 7.0) or a TOEFL iBT score of 100 (UKBA requirements include minimum scores in the TOEFL test).
