“To become an exceptional leader in a global world, you need a world class MBA and LSBF is a pioneer. We are the only business school in the world that offers a new approach where an MBA can be combined with professional qualifications to give our graduates the cutting edge skills.

This is a unique program combining the strength of a flexible MBA with a professional
accounting specialisation (ACCA). This program has been so successful that we have introduced new specialisations such as MBA+CIMA (Managerial accounting), MBA-+CIM (Marketing) and MBA+CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst).

We believe that combining technical expertise either in Finance or Marketing with an MBA is the key to professional excellence.
