Lancaster MBA Profiles 2025/2026
Lancaster University Management School’s (LUMS) vision is to be a world-class, university-based management school. Quadruple accredited and highly ranked, the LUMS FMBA programme equips students with all the necessary language, tools, and techniques of business and management. The FMBA has a unique vision as we focus on developing the students’ practical wisdom and capacity for judgment in the turbulent world of international business. With a curriculum guided by our programme principles of responsibility, sustainability, and inclusivity, students instil a leadership mindset along with the skills they need to be highly effective at the most senior levels of management. Working with our Entrepreneurs in Residence and our Leaders in Residence, our students also learn from world-renowned academics who, collectively, provide students a well-rounded, theoretically rigorous, and empirically grounded curriculum. Our core modules include topics on leadership, accounting and finance, economics, marketing, organisational behaviour, entrepreneurial mindset, digital transformation and innovation, operations management, strategic management. Building on what they learned in their core modules, students develop their consultancy and organisational skills by working with programme partners to solve real business problems in our Action Learning modules. Our practice-based pedagogical approach is highlighted in these modules that weave together deep philosophical learnings and practical skills development. We carefully select each cohort using a rigorous application process to ensure our students represent a wide diversity of expertise, educational background, and industrial experience (both functional and sector). Our students have an average of seven years of managerial work experience prior to beginning the FMBA programme. Lancaster MBA graduates are recruited by a wide variety of companies and organisations around the world, both private and public sector: some graduates join large multinational companies, others boost the management teams of smaller organisations or enjoy accelerated promotion with their former employers. Some start up their own companies. The journey is different for everyone, transformational for all.
