Three Distinctive Variants
Lancaster offers three MBA programmes. All are international in focus, but the mode of study varies, enabling you to study either full-time, part-time or in a country outside the UK.
Full-time MBA
The Lancaster Full-time MBA is an intensive 12-month programme for managers with at least three years' professional experience and looking to make significant career changes.
It has a strong action orientation – providing three opportunities for consulting experience with UK companies – and an emphasis on leadership and international business.
Executive MBA
The Lancaster Executive MBA (EMBA) is a two-year part-time programme. Designed for experienced managers, it allows you apply your learning from the programme direct to your own work environment via consultancy-style assignments.
Teaching is delivered in 5-day residential modules at Lancaster.
Global MBA
The Lancaster Global MBA is a new two-year part-time modular Masters programme for aspiring senior managers, taught outside the UK and in collaboration with international partners.
The programme is currently offered in Jordan, Zambia and Singapore.
