LANCASTER UNIVERSITY MANAGEMENT SCHOOL

Located in the Northwest of England on Lancaster University’s green parkland campus, Lancaster University Management School (LUMS) combines the passion for knowledge and ideas you would expect of one of the UK’s top research-led business schools with the distinctive human qualities of a supportive and vibrant community.

Since the University’s founding five decades ago, the Management School faculty and students have worked at the frontiers of knowledge and practice, challenging conventional wisdom and contributing to future best practice. The faculty consists of academics with outstanding international reputations, and our graduates are successful in every sector and every region of the world.

LUMS has a complete range of programmes: general and specialist, undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes in business, management, accounting, finance and economics, as well as a large doctoral programme. We also deliver innovative customised executive and leadership education for large organisations, as well as small and medium-sized businesses.

Life on Lancaster’s campus is excellent: a vibrant, social and academic community, the university also boasts one of the safest environments in the UK along with award-winning facilities for both accommodation and teaching. LUMS benefited from the completion of the £10m Lancaster Leadership Centre in 2005, and a second £10m facility, the Charles Carter Building, in 2011. We are continuing to develop our facilities, with plans for a new Management School building, providing a truly world-class and innovative teaching, research and business-engagement environment to cater for the future needs of students, staff and business partners.

The Management School is consistently ranked in the UK’s top 10 as well as being among the world’s highly ranked management and business schools. Our MBA was ranked 35th in the world and 4th in the UK in The Financial Times Global MBA Ranking 2016. The same ranking put us 1st in the world for corporate strategy for the second year running.

In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF 2014), we were ranked as the top business school in the UK for ‘research power’, and 80% of our research activity is judged to be world-leading or internationally excellent. LUMS won the inaugural Business School of the Year award at the prestigious Times Higher Education awards in 2012.

Lancaster is one of the few business schools in the world to hold triple accreditation from AACSB, EQUIS and the Association of MBAs. Triple accreditation is confirmation of the international scope and standing of Lancaster University Management School and recognition of the quality of everything we do.
