Lancashire MBA: Grow from Lausanne, Switzerland

Build your next chapter without leaving Lausanne. The Lancashire MBA is delivered online through an exclusive partnership between the University of Lancashire and Robert Kennedy College. It offers a way to develop your leadership and management thinking while continuing to live, work and pursue opportunities in Switzerland.

Earn a British degree with international reach

Graduate with a British degree that is recognised internationally. For professionals in Lausanne’s internationally connected economy, it is a credential that can help communicate your commitment to advanced management study across borders.

The programme’s ideas and frameworks can be applied in organisations around the world. Whether your ambitions take you further in Switzerland or abroad, you can develop ways of thinking that travel with you.

Complete your MBA 100% online in as little as one year

Study entirely online, with no need to relocate or commute to campus. You can work towards your MBA while maintaining the professional and personal life you have built in Lausanne.

The programme can be completed in as little as one year, giving motivated students a route towards their next goal. Your own pace will depend on your circumstances and study plans.

Study without scheduled online attendance

You do not need to be online at specific times or dates. Instead of arranging your life around live classes, you can engage with your studies at times that work for you.

That flexibility can make it easier to balance study with meetings, family commitments and changing work demands. You can give demanding topics your attention when you are ready to focus.

Take your studies wherever you go

Although you may call Lausanne home, your learning does not have to stay there. Study from anywhere in the world, whether you are at home, away on business or travelling between destinations.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. It is a practical way to keep learning when your journey takes you beyond a reliable internet connection.

Show your thinking through open-book assessments

The programme uses open-book assessments instead of classical question-and-answer exams. You can draw on your learning as you develop and present your response.

This approach gives you room to focus on analysis, judgement and the application of ideas. It encourages you to connect management theory with the kinds of decisions organisations face.

Learn with internationally educated faculty

Learn from tutors and faculty who have graduated from renowned institutions, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Their varied academic backgrounds can bring different perspectives to your studies. As you develop your own approach to leadership, those perspectives can help you consider challenges from more than one angle.

Join a community spanning more than 130 countries

Study alongside a diverse student base from over 130 countries. The experience can introduce you to perspectives shaped by different industries, cultures and professional paths.

Alumni work for organisations including Université de Lausanne, Nestlé, UBS, Chubb, Zurich, Novartis, Roche, International School of Central Switzerland, Institut Monte Rosa, Institut Florimont, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony.

Plan your payments with interest-free instalments

The programme’s fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. This allows you to spread the cost over time rather than paying it all at once.

Clear payment options can make it easier to plan alongside your other commitments. You can concentrate on the learning ahead with a schedule that supports your budgeting.

Put your MBA to work in and around Lausanne

Lausanne sits within a region known for life sciences, healthcare and innovation. If you work in a research-driven or growing organisation, the MBA can help you strengthen skills in strategy, leadership and organisational decision-making as you consider how ideas become sustainable operations.

The city is also closely connected to international sport and education. For graduates pursuing roles in sporting bodies, schools or other mission-led organisations, management study can offer useful perspectives on leading teams, allocating resources and working with stakeholders from different countries.

Across the wider Lake Geneva region, internationally active businesses create opportunities to work across functions and borders. Whether your interests lie in finance, technology or professional services, the MBA can help you approach complex business questions with greater confidence while building your career from Lausanne.
