- Why is the programme named Sloan?
The Sloan Masters programme began at MIT in 1931. It was the brainchild of Alfred P Sloan Jnr, Chairman of General Motors, who believed that the best kind of leader was one who had a cross-functional understanding of management, and that this was best acquired after some years' real-world experience. Today’s Sloan Fellows share a breadth and depth of expertise gained in senior positions worldwide.
Three world-class business schools offer programmes that share this great heritage: Stanford, London Business School and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). LBS Sloan Fellows join a powerful international network. The LBS Sloan Masters in Leadership and Strategy is the only specialist masters of its kind in Europe.
The LBS Sloan Masters challenges and prepares experienced senior managers moving towards leadership positions to realise their global leadership ambitions. It is a 12-month, full-time degree programme leading to an MSc in Leadership and Strategy. The curriculum combines core courses in leadership and strategy with a choice of electives, and includes a Global Business Assignment.
- Should I apply to the LBS Sloan Masters or the MBA?
The full-time MBA is a general management degree aimed at people who are at a relatively early stage in their career. The LBS Sloan focuses on leadership and strategy and has been designed for senior executives with significant management and strategic experience, who would like to study with a group of peers with similar depth and breadth of experience.
- What degree will I receive?
When you graduate you will receive a Masters in Science (MSc).
- Can I apply for more than one programme at the School?
You can only apply to one masters programme at LBS or our partner schools at once during the same academic year. You cannot re-apply to the same programme within the same academic year.
- Do I need a visa to study in the UK?
- What level of work experience do I need?
As a successful LBS Sloan applicant you will need to demonstrate significant levels of achievement in your career and experience of decision-making at strategic levels. Sloan Fellows are typically executives, professionals and entrepreneurs with an average of 18 years’ experience with extensive management responsibilities.
