About this MSc programme

Join the top students from across the globe and prepare yourself for an outstanding career in management and leadership with our two year Global Master's in Management.

We offer a unique approach to management, with a truly in-depth and rigorous learning experience. Alongside a foundation in the fundamental knowledge and skills essential for managers today, you will also have the opportunity to specialise and apply what you’ve learned in practice.

An extensive first-year curriculum gives a clear understanding of the real challenges facing managers and organisations operating in a global context. After an optional summer internship spent exploring career options, we offer three second-year pathways to specialise and ground what you have learnt, complemented by two core courses, Management in Action and Ethics, Governance, and Leadership.

We are proud to be the only UK programme to offer the CEMS double degree, with 34 leading partner business schools worldwide, and access to a global network of over 70 corporate partners and 8 social partners (NGOs). We also offer the MBA exchange term, giving an opportunity to join a leading MBA classroom in the US and Asia. Alternatively, you can opt to explore LSE’s huge range of electives, and specialise in your own area of interest; the choice is yours.
