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 32 leading partner business schools worldwide, and access to a global network of over 70 corporate partners and 7 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.

Teaching and assessment

Courses are taught in lecture and class or seminar format. Lectures introduce the core theoretical and technical concepts whilst their associated classes allow students to discuss and apply these concepts through exercises and in-depth study. Seminars allow for the focused study of key concepts in a more informal style and often involve presentations by students on selected course materials. Many teachers adopt a variety of teaching methods to deliver their courses such as class exercises, team presentations, individual or group work, or case study discussions.
