About the Weekend MBA

The Weekend MBA is designed to offer  maximum flexibility  to full-time working professionals with all the benefits of a face-to-face MBA program. This combination results in a dynamic program that reinforces participants’ careers and develops their skills and competencies. 

The great advantage of combining full-time work and study is that it allows participants to apply learned concepts and frameworks immediately in their daily jobs

Curriculum highlights

Leadership focus: Over the course of the program, students engage in a leadership journey, which with an on-going cycle of practice and reflection, allows them to nurture their own leadership styles.  

Leadership course with the army: Under the supervision of the army staff, students may complete a two-day workshop in order to improve their team leadership skills in a challenging environment.  

Regatta race competition: As part of the leadership journey, MBA students participate in a regatta race at the Belgian or Dutch Coast. Throughout this experience, our participants learn how to communicate a clear vision and work as a team under the pressure of a sailing competition in a completely unknown and challenging environment.  

Consulting project: The MBA concludes with a Final Project whereby groups of students work on a Consulting Project. This requires the students to combine many previously learned concepts and apply them in practice while working as a team. The Consulting Project is led and overseen by LSB faculty members.
