Why LUMS?

Why should you consider studying business or management subjects at Lancaster University Management School?

• Excellence in teaching and research
  LUMS is nationally and internationally recognised as a centre of academic excellence. Teaching staff at LUMS operate at the frontier of their subjects, meaning that you are taught by experts and take courses that contain cutting-edge material from both theory and practice.
   
• Critical approach
  You are expected to think, to question, to carry out your own research and to develop your own conclusions. Not only does this make your studies much more satisfying, but the critical approach you develop has great appeal for employers.
   
• Variety
  Your studies will involve not just lectures, tutorials, essays and exams: they may also include industrial projects, case studies, student-led seminars, management reports, computer-based projects, presentations, plenty of team activities, role-play, management simulations, dissertations and other forms of activity. There"s no danger of your studies getting stuck in a rut!
   
• Choice and flexibility
  LUMS offers a very wide range of degrees designed to meet students’ differing needs. Choice is further enhanced within any given degree scheme, with students able to select from a wide range of optional courses. At Lancaster, you do not have to commit yourself to a specific degree programme until the end of your first year. This leaves plenty of scope for switching between degree schemes as your tastes and interests evolve. 

• Outstanding environment
  Lancaster is one of the friendliest and most supportive universities you could hope to find, as well as being in an attractive and healthy setting, with plenty going on for students. But don"t take our word for it.
