The Lancashire MBA, offered online through the exclusive partnership between the University of Lancashire and Robert Kennedy College, gives professionals living in Medina, Saudi Arabia, a flexible way to develop their leadership and business knowledge. Its ideas and frameworks can be applied across industries and international markets.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

A British MBA can be a valuable addition to a career that reaches beyond one city or country. Graduating with a degree awarded by the University of Lancashire allows you to present an internationally recognised qualification alongside your professional experience.

Whether you aim to take on broader responsibilities in Saudi Arabia or explore opportunities elsewhere, the programme can help you articulate your knowledge of management, strategy and leadership in an international professional setting.

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

The Lancashire MBA can be completed entirely online, allowing you to continue living in Medina while working towards your degree. You can pursue an ambitious academic goal without relocating or stepping away from the life you have built.

It is possible to complete the programme in as little as one year. Your own pace will depend on how you plan your studies and meet the programme’s requirements, giving you a clear goal to work towards.

Study without fixed online attendance times

Your workday and personal commitments may not fit neatly around a scheduled live class. The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates, so you can engage with your studies at times that work for you.

This flexibility can make it easier to establish a sustainable routine, whether you prefer to study early in the morning, after work or at weekends. You can plan around assignment deadlines while choosing when to access your learning materials.

Keep learning wherever life takes you

Your studies need not stop when you leave home. The online format lets you learn from Medina or anywhere else in the world, making it well suited to professionals whose work or personal plans involve travel.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. A journey or a period away from your usual workspace can become an opportunity to keep making progress.

Apply your thinking through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These offer an opportunity to work with relevant resources as you develop and present your responses.

For professionals, this approach can feel closer to the way complex decisions are made at work: by examining information, considering alternatives and explaining a reasoned course of action.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

The programme’s tutors and faculty include graduates of world-renowned universities such as Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their academic backgrounds bring varied perspectives to your learning experience.

Engaging with faculty who have studied in different educational environments can help you examine familiar business challenges from new angles and strengthen the way you communicate your ideas.

Join a student community spanning more than 130 countries

Studying alongside people from over 130 countries can broaden the conversations you have about leadership, organisations and change. You can encounter viewpoints shaped by different industries, markets and professional experiences while remaining based in Medina.

The wider alumni community includes professionals working for international organisations and companies such as Aramco, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied career paths illustrate the international reach of the community; individual career outcomes will differ.

Plan your investment with monthly instalments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can make it easier to plan your budget alongside your other commitments.

With a predictable payment schedule, you can focus on building your skills and making steady progress towards graduation.

Bring a broader business perspective to Medina

Medina’s visitor economy creates opportunities across hospitality, retail and services. For graduates working in these areas, MBA concepts can support better planning, customer experience and coordination as organisations serve visitors with a wide range of needs.

Healthcare is another important part of life in a city that serves residents and visitors alike. A graduate working in healthcare management or a related service could apply strategic and operational thinking to questions of resources, service quality and organisational change.

Medina’s businesses also rely on capable teams in commerce, logistics and growing enterprises. Whether your ambitions involve leading an established organisation or developing a new venture, the programme can help you approach decisions with a wider perspective while building your career from Medina.
