MBA Leadership and Sustainability: Lead from Monrovia, Liberia

Build your leadership ambitions without leaving Monrovia. The MBA Leadership and Sustainability, delivered online by the University of Cumbria in exclusive partnership with Robert Kennedy College, brings together management thinking and sustainability perspectives you can apply across industries and borders.

Earn an internationally recognised British degree

Graduates earn a British degree awarded by the University of Cumbria. It is a credential you can present as you pursue opportunities in Liberia and internationally.

Whether your ambitions lie in business, the public sector or an international organisation, the programme offers an opportunity to strengthen your leadership knowledge while working towards a recognised qualification.

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

You can complete the programme entirely online, with no need to relocate or travel to a campus. That makes it possible to keep building your life and career in Monrovia while you study.

The MBA can be completed in as little as one year. Your own completion time will depend on your study pace and successful completion of the programme requirements.

Study without scheduled online attendance

The programme does not require you to be online at specific times and dates for classes. You can engage with learning materials around your working hours and other commitments.

This flexibility gives you room to plan when you study, while still meeting assignment deadlines and other academic requirements.

Keep learning wherever life takes you

Study from Monrovia, elsewhere in Liberia or anywhere else your plans take you. An online programme can travel with you, making it easier to continue learning when you are away from your usual workspace.

Through the mobile app, you can download study materials and watch lectures offline. Whether you are travelling or preparing for a period with limited connectivity, you can make productive use of the time available.

Show what you know through open-book assessments

Instead of classical question-and-answer exams, the programme uses open-book assessments. These give you the opportunity to draw on learning resources as you develop and present your responses.

The emphasis is on understanding ideas and applying them thoughtfully—valuable habits for leaders who must evaluate information, weigh competing priorities and make decisions.

Learn from internationally educated faculty

Your tutors and faculty bring varied academic backgrounds to the online classroom. Faculty members have graduated from world-renowned universities including Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, the University of Basel and Washington University in St. Louis.

Learning from educators with different experiences can broaden your perspective on leadership and sustainability, and help you examine familiar challenges in new ways.

Join a community spanning more than 130 countries

Study alongside a diverse student base drawn from over 130 countries. Conversations with people from different sectors and cultures can challenge assumptions and deepen your understanding of how organisations operate around the world.

Alumni work for international organisations and companies including DHL, CK Hutchison, BASF, Nestlé, Unilever, Daimler, BMW, Audi, GM, Louis Vuitton, the United Nations, Google, the ICRC, the World Bank, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens and Sony. Their career paths illustrate the breadth of the wider graduate community, not a guarantee of employment.

Plan your payments with monthly instalments

Programme fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest-free instalments, allowing you to spread the cost over time rather than pay it all at once.

That option can make it easier to plan your study alongside other commitments. Check the current fee information and payment terms as you consider the right time to begin.

Bring a global perspective to opportunities in Monrovia

As Liberia’s capital and principal commercial centre, Monrovia is connected to trade, logistics and port activity. Leadership and sustainability knowledge could help graduates think through questions such as efficient operations, responsible sourcing and the long-term resilience of supply chains.

Liberia’s agriculture and natural-resource sectors also face decisions about productivity, environmental stewardship and relationships with communities. Graduates working in or alongside these sectors could use the programme’s management ideas to assess competing priorities and support more responsible organisational choices.

Monrovia is also a centre for public institutions, development organisations and businesses responding to infrastructure and energy needs. For graduates pursuing roles in these areas, a broader understanding of leadership and sustainability may be useful when coordinating stakeholders, planning change and measuring lasting impact.
