Effective leadership is key to the success of any business. This degree will transform you into a versatile leader, with advanced knowledge of areas including strategy, marketing and change management. On top of that, the Global MBA programme will equip you with a unique global perspective, widening your cultural and professional horizons.

Globalisation was the crucial factor in the development of this Master’s degree, from the subjects taught and the lecturers’ backgrounds, to the multicultural atmosphere of our classroom.

With us you will study the principles of management, marketing, finance and strategic operations, amongst other topics. This theory will be complemented with practical skills, preparing you to lead teams, departments and even entire organisations, anywhere in the world. Throughout your Global MBA, you will have access to our expert lecturers and our network of blue-chip corporate partners. So you will graduate with an up-to-date knowledge of the business world, as well as skills which will propel you to real career success.

The Global MBA allows you to structure your learning around your career, so you will benefit from flexible study modes and can even work while you study. You’ll be studying in one of our modern UK campuses in London, Manchester or Birmingham, but you’ll also have the opportunity to learn online through the ground-breaking InterActive online study platform.

The Global MBA programme has been designed by LSBF, and is validated by London Metropolitan University.

Career DevelopmentWe give your career top priority. That’s why we work so closely with multinational organisations. We ask them what they look for in employees, and ensure that the courses we offer give you these highly sought-after skills. Our Careers Service department will also provide you with tailored career training and advice, helping you to fulfil your ambitions.

Corporate LinksTaking advantage of our extensive corporate and international connections, we can provide you with exceptional networking opportunities. You will have access to the expertise of successful business leaders and students, throughout your course and as an alumni. Our Careers Department also organises networking events where you can meet top employers and gain invaluable contacts.

Dual ProgrammesCombine your Global MBA with a professional qualification (such as ACCA, CIMA, CFA® or CIM) and a tailored professional development programme. You will gain two internationally recognised qualifications, in-depth business knowledge, vital practical skills and expert careers training. This combination provides complete preparation for a rewarding career at the strategic level of management.

How you studyWe want you to be comprehensively prepared for your next career role, so we mould our courses to mirror actual business situations as closely as possible. Our lecturers combine their own industry experience with the most up-to-date case studies and insight from our renowned corporate partners.

Our lectures and seminars include regular student participation, allowing you to benefit from the diverse knowledge of your international classmates, and develop the communication skills that are so crucial to management. You will also be able to extensively research a specialist management topic of your choosing as part of your dissertation.
