Invest in the kind of leader you want to become
Choosing the right MBA is a big decision. At LIS, we understand that funding your degree is part of that journey.
Many students use a blend of personal funds, government loans, and employer sponsorship. We offer a range of scholarships to help support exceptional candidates, and we’re committed to making the LIS MBA accessible to those who are looking for a new way to lead and drive change in their organisation.
We’ve reimagined what an MBA can be, and we’ve taken the same thoughtful approach to how it’s funded.

How much does the MBA cost?
Tuition is £30,000 for the full degree. It covers all teaching and learning materials, seminars and guest-speaker access, individual coaching and support, and assessment and feedback, as well as membership of The Conduit. Tuition is payable by instalments as standard.
Are fees different for international students?
No. The fee is the same regardless of nationality or domicile.
How can I fund the programme? Do you offer scholarships?
There are several ways to fund the MBA, and many students use a blend of approaches, including scholarships, government or private loans, employer sponsorship and personal savings. We offer a range of scholarships to support outstanding candidates, all applied as tuition fee reductions.
How do I apply? What does the process involve?
There are three main stages. First, an Application: a streamlined form covering your personal details, education, CV and a short critical reflection. Second, an Interview: an in-depth conversation with our faculty and leadership team about your ambitions and fit for the course. Third, an Assessment: a research-based standardised assessment of decision-making, designed to gauge your ability to work with complex material.
What are the application rounds and key dates?
Applications for the next cohort are now open. You are welcome to submit at any time, but applications are reviewed in staged rounds, with the following 2026 deadlines: Round 1: 11th March, Round 2: 27th May, Round 3: 15th July, Round 4: 9th September, and Round 5: 11th November. You will be informed whether you have been invited to interview within two weeks of the relevant round's deadline. For any further enquiries, email admissions@lis.ac.uk
What is the application deadline?
We operate Admissions on a rolling basis throughout the year. Note that places on the programme are limited and we therefore encourage early applications.
When and how should I submit degree transcripts and certificates?
Transcripts and certificates can be uploaded in the "Evidence" section of your application form.
When will I hear back about my application decision?
Our rigorous admissions process has multiple decision stages to ensure a strong fit between the school, the programme, and the candidate. Following submission of a completed application, applicants will hear if they have been invited to interview within 2 weeks. Following the interview and completion of the Admissions Assessment, applicants will hear if they have been admitted to the programme within 3 weeks.
