Global MBA

Lead where others follow

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 Masters 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. Youll be studying in one of our modern UK campuses in London, Manchester or Birmingham, but youll 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.
