Business

The Loughborough MBA develops a range of conceptual and analytical skills for dealing with practical management problems of an operational and strategic nature. It formalises the knowledge and develops the management skills and potential of experienced managers, and provides an environment where insightful interaction takes place between students and staff.

The programme is AMBA-accredited and as such is designed for professionals who have at least three years’ management experience, in either the private or public sectors. We offer delegates the option of 3-4 day block release teaching as well as evenings and Saturdays, which means our MBA can be obtained in just over two years.

The School is a member of the Consortium of European Business Schools which offers a Summer School for Advanced Management (ESSAM).
