Lancashire MBA: Advance from Saudi Arabia

Build your next chapter without putting your life on hold. The Lancashire MBA, offered online in an exclusive partnership between the University of Lancashire and Robert Kennedy College, brings postgraduate business study to you in Saudi Arabia. Its management theories and frameworks can be applied across industries and international markets.

Earn a British degree with international recognition

A British MBA can add a respected qualification to your professional profile. Wherever your ambitions take you, it offers a way to demonstrate advanced study in business and management.

You can develop a broader perspective on leadership, strategy and decision-making while earning a degree from the University of Lancashire. That combination can support conversations about your experience and aspirations with employers across borders.

Study 100% online in as little as one year

The programme can be completed entirely online, so you can pursue an MBA while continuing to live and work in Saudi Arabia. There is no need to relocate to begin working towards your degree.

For students able to follow the fastest available path, completion is possible in as little as one year. It is an opportunity to make meaningful progress towards your goals on a focused timescale.

Learn without fixed online attendance times

You do not need to be online at specific times and dates to attend your studies. That flexibility can make it easier to fit learning around work, family responsibilities and changing schedules.

Instead of arranging your day around a live class, you can engage with course materials when it works for you. Your MBA can move forward alongside the commitments that matter to you.

Take your studies wherever you go

Whether you are at home, travelling for work or spending time abroad, you can study from anywhere in the world. Your location does not have to limit your access to the programme.

The mobile app lets you download study materials and watch lectures offline. You can use suitable moments on the move to keep learning, even when an internet connection is unavailable.

Show your thinking through open-book assessments

Rather than relying on classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. This approach gives you room to work with the ideas and resources you have studied.

Open-book work can help you focus on interpreting information, developing an argument and applying management concepts. It is a way to demonstrate how you think, not only what you can recall.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

Your tutors and faculty bring academic backgrounds shaped by renowned universities, including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis. Their experience contributes to an internationally minded learning environment.

As you explore business challenges, you can encounter perspectives informed by different institutions and disciplines. That breadth can encourage you to question assumptions and strengthen your own approach to leadership.

Join a network spanning more than 130 countries

Study alongside a diverse student community drawn from over 130 countries. Exchanging ideas with people whose careers and perspectives differ from yours can make each topic more engaging and expand the way you see business challenges.

Alumni work for international organisations and companies including Aramco, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their varied paths illustrate the reach of the wider community, without implying any particular career outcome.

Plan your investment with monthly instalments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments. Spreading payments over time can help you plan for your studies alongside your other commitments.

With a clear instalment option, you can consider how an MBA fits into your personal budget and longer-term ambitions. You can focus on choosing the right moment to invest in your development.

Connect your MBA learning to opportunities in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia’s energy sector presents complex questions of strategy, operations and organisational change. MBA frameworks can help graduates examine decisions involving performance, investment and leadership, whether their work is in established energy businesses or related services.

Growth in technology, logistics and advanced manufacturing also creates opportunities to think across functions. Learning about management and decision-making can help graduates approach challenges such as scaling operations, coordinating teams and assessing new markets.

In tourism, hospitality and financial services, organisations must respond to evolving customer expectations and competitive conditions. Graduates can draw on the programme’s internationally applicable theories to evaluate opportunities, communicate ideas and contribute to projects in these sectors.
