The One-year MBA: everything you need to know

London Business School’s One-year MBA is launching in August 2025, with a target class size of 50 exceptional individuals.

As a leading business school, we must continue to innovate, to meet the business world’s and our diverse student prospects’ needs. We are unique in the market for the breadth of our postgraduate offering, and the One-year MBA strengthens our portfolio further – allowing us to cater for an increasing population of high-achieving professionals with a Masters in Management qualification. They already know the ‘basics of business’ and are interested in a shorter MBA programme that doesn’t compromise on quality.

Emily Carney, MBA Launch Director, in this film, explains why our One-year MBA is a pathway to success. She explains how our core course themes, from mastering digital disruption to developing leadership skills, are designed to prepare students for success in today’s business landscape. She also highlights the exciting opportunities outside the classroom, from experiential projects to consulting on real-world challenges with industry leaders.

As a School, we are committed to providing financial aid for our students. For each One-year MBA student, this represents their third degree and second postgraduate qualification. Their dedication is undeniable, but for those who have self-funded, the financial strain may be significant. To help alleviate this pressure, and for us to attract the best and brightest applicants regardless of socio-economic background, please consider supporting our Scholarship programme. You will equip exceptional individuals with MBA skills to tackle the big issues facing business today and enrich our alumni community and the world.
