Introduction
The Lincoln International Business School MBA programme is based on the core values of sustainability and responsible management. Our programme aims to provide the knowledge, perspective, and critical understanding that managers and professionals may need to succeed in a rapidly changing world.
The programme is designed to suit managers and professionals from across the business, government, and civil society, and may appeal to those who not only want to achieve success for themselves and their organisations, but also have a passion for making the world a better place. The curriculum addresses real-world challenges, such as the transition to a zero-carbon economy and technological changes like Industry 4.0, and provides a creative environment for generating new knowledge and practical solutions.
Students can benefit from research-active academics who are able to enrich the programme with the latest thinking around the current issues and challenges faced by organisational decision-makers.
Prioritising Face-to-Face Teaching
At the University of Lincoln, we strive to ensure our students’ experience is engaging, supportive, and academically challenging. Throughout the Coronavirus pandemic, we have adapted to Government guidance to keep our students, staff, and community safe. All remaining Covid-19 legal restrictions in England were lifted in February 2022 under the Government’s Plan for Living with Covid-19, and we have embraced a safe return to in-person teaching on campus. Where appropriate, face-to-face teaching is enhanced by the use of digital tools and technology and may be complemented by online opportunities where these support learning outcomes.
We are fully prepared to adapt our plans if changes in Government guidance make this necessary, and we will endeavour to keep current and prospective students informed. For more information about how we are working to keep our community safe.

How You Study
The Lincoln International Business School MBA programme aims to connect classroom learning with the real world challenges faced by managers and organisations. The content of the programme is designed to build the skills every global manager needs, whilst individual projects and the dissertation provide an opportunity to specialise.
Lectures and seminars are designed to enable interaction and dialogue and offer the chance to discuss the fundamentals of global business and leadership. There is flexibility in the scheduling of our timetable that allows class activities, as well as group and independent study.
Through membership of LIBS Connect, students will be able to attend guest lectures from industry speakers and leaders. Previous guest speakers have included University Chancellor Lord Adebowale CBE, BBC Trustee and Non-Executive Director Suzanna Taverne, and the Chief Executive of Siemens pcl Juergen Maier.
MBA study involves a significant proportion of independent study, exploring the material covered in lectures and seminars. As a general guide, for every hour in class students are expected to spend two to three hours in independent study. Taught modules normally have 36 contact hours (lectures, seminars and workshops) per term.
