Studying at LCBS
It our goal to help every student reach their goal, and provide a positive teaching and learning experience. All undergraduate and postgraduate students studying at the business school will get to enjoy an innovative approach to learning, known as ‘block teaching’. This allows students to focus on one subject at a time, instead of several at once, with more regular assessments and a better study‑life balance. DMU is one of the few universities in the country to offer the block teaching method.
With block teaching, not only will you have more time to learn your subject in depth, but you will also benefit from a simple timetable with space to enjoy all that university life has to offer such as sports, societies, meeting friends and discovering our city. Learn more about the benefits of block teaching.
Our students have a truly international experience. From our many international lecturers to our diverse student population, many countries across the world are represented at LCBS. All programmes include globally-influenced learning materials and case studies, and through , students often have the opportunity to travel too.
We are dedicated to our vision of building a community of future leaders committed to a just, peaceful and sustainable world. As signatories of the United Nations Principles of Responsible Management Education, all students will participate in learning activities to develop their skills in addressing some of the biggest issues our world currently faces.
Students at LCBS are supported to achieve their full potential through our dedicated student support services. We are dedicated to creating an inclusive community so that students are happy, healthy and productive.
