Our Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) will reshape your approach to business, leadership, decision-making and innovation.

The Executive MBA programme at Lancaster empowers you to elevate your thinking, broaden your impact, and lead with confidence across functions, industries, and markets. It combines rigorous academic insight with immediate real-world application, allowing you to apply new knowledge directly to your organisation as you learn.

We believe that true leaders are made through a combination of rigorous academic learning, real-world experience, and a community that challenges and supports you every step of the way. At Lancaster, you will be exposed to cutting-edge research, global business strategies, and an international network of professionals while benefiting from our rich 30-year history of delivering Executive MBA programmes at a business school that is triple-accredited by AMBA, AACSB, and EQUIS. The Executive MBA programme is designed to fit around your working life so you can study and work at the same time. After the in-person introduction days at our wonderful campus, you will join online modules which include weekly online lectures so you can stay connected with your peers.

You will come back onto campus for a couple of in-person days during each module so you can take part in practical and applied learning activities and have further opportunities to network with your tutors and peers. Each module has additional online learning materials and readings to work through in your own time to give you the flexibility you need.

Throughout the two-year programme, we have introduced several reflective weeks, allowing you to pause and reflect on your learning, giving you the space and time to further embed your learning and skills into your daily professional practice.
