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 world-leading faculty.
Action learning
Thanks to Lancaster’s ground-breaking work on how organisations and managers learn, our MBA has 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 out 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 all kinds of management career – be it general management, consultancy, or a new business start-up. Tailor your electives to 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 2010 it was ranked 24th in the world by the FT, and 16th in the world by Forbes magazine in 2009.
