LSBU has recently been appointed, as one of a small group of universities, to Buying Solutions’ Pan Government Framework Agreement of study and qualifications in Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and Masters in Public Administration (MPA). We are the only London-based university to be approved to deliver both the MPA and MBA awards to government staff on a part-time and executive basis.
‘ My experience in LSBU was wonderful. My favourite project was the ‘Going Global project’, which not only took us to Spain but also taught us how globalisation is affecting and changing the face of world economy, culture and general perception of human being towards each other.’
