Frequently asked questions

Please see our Study page for the full list of programmes we offer. 

Yes, we offer an Executive MBA programme. We are partnered with NYU Stern and HEC Paris to offer the prestigious TRIUM Global Executive MBA. This is a modular part-time programme for working professionals with a minimum of 10 years’ work experience.

We also offer the Executive Global Master’s in Management which is the LSE alternative to a traditional MBA. The programme is a more academically rigorous option for working professionals looking for a route to reach the highest level of career success at an international level after 3 or more years' work experience.

We do not offer a traditional full-time MBA programme for non-executive students, but instead we provide a range of generalist and specialist MSc programmes. These programmes do more than simply teach students to apply current business tools and frameworks, as with a typical MBA programme - instead they provide the academically rigorous training and critical thinking skills needed to thrive in the fast-changing world of business over a lifelong career.
