Flexible Learning for Ambitious Global Leaders
The Executive Global Master’s in Management (EGMiM) is designed for busy working professionals seeking career growth. The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), in the United Kingdom, offers this master’s program to those seeking to work and study simultaneously.
The flexible program is perfect for those balancing full-time jobs and demanding roles. Several students share their experiences of LSE’s Executive Global Master’s in Management and its impact on their careers.
Balancing a Career and Education with Ease
Germaine Aboud is a current student of the Executive Global Master’s in Management at LSE. She balances the program alongside her role as Regional Head MEA at Tradeasia International. She shares, “I have a very demanding role, very long days at work, constant travel, so one of the most important things I needed to find in a master’s program was for it to be part-time and to allow me to do it while working full-time.” (00:01)
LSE’s part-time format allows professionals to continue their careers while pursuing education. Therefore, candidates can balance work with academic growth.
The Blended Learning Advantage
The program format combines in-person London modules with online assignments. Assignments can be completed from anywhere. They are spaced out to support balance and reflection.
Another current student, Kristina Orlova, is the International University Engagement Specialist at Cartier. She says about the program, “We have classes when we come to London on campus, where we have this rich peer-to-peer learning element. And then we have some assignments in between that are quite manageable. Then we have weekly calls with the teammates and one group project. It goes with the flow if you schedule it.” (01:29)
This format makes it easier to manage both work and study effectively.
A Globally Diverse and Insightful Learning Environment
LSE’s EGMiM program fosters a multicultural environment that attracts leaders and inspires innovation.
Learning from a Cohort of Diverse Experts
Carolina Villasante O’Curneen, Senior Supervisor at the Bank of England, adds, “We have 17 nationalities, and I think [it] is absolutely amazing to learn from your colleagues. Not only culture-wise or on a personal aspect, but also from different backgrounds.” (02:14)
Additionally, Kohtaro Kosugiyama, Social Innovation Fellow at The Adecco Group Japan, adds, “Everyone comes from such different perspectives in terms of expertise, industries, age, countries, and cultures. Being able to discuss and digest what’s happening at my workplace with them is very important.” (02:29)
Germaine further elaborates, “A strong element of my job is very global and very international, and I wanted my cohort to reflect that, to also support with my global network.” (00:18)
With 17 nationalities, students gain diverse perspectives on business challenges and working cultures. This enables deeper discussions and stronger collaborative problem-solving skills.
Challenging the Status Quo to Drive Societal Change
This LSE executive master’s program pushes students to question tradition and rethink outdated strategies to drive innovation.
Redefining Business for Societal Impact
Kohtaro reflects, “I needed a program where I could proactively question the formula that we utilise in the business world today.” (00:44)
He adds, “The reason why I started my career in sustainability in [a] corporate environment was [to] really challenge the foundation of business and how we really try to redefine the way we do business, [and] the way we utilise business to approach larger societal issues.” (00:29)
The program at LSE encourages professionals to examine outdated business models critically and to lead with purpose. This approach empowers students to drive both innovation and societal impact through business.
Experiential Learning Through Overseas Modules
The Executive Global Master’s in Management includes two immersive international modules in South Africa and India, with the locations often changing. These modules let students apply classroom learning to real-world challenges in emerging economies.
Germaine explains, “The overseas modules are a perfect fit where we get to travel to South Africa and India to explore how we can apply everything we learned on the ground.” (01:55) These experiences offer cultural exposure and hands-on learning in emerging markets.
“It’s kind of like a boot camp master’s program, which is intense, but it’s very interesting,” Germaine elaborates. (02:06)
This challenging journey builds resilience for today’s fast-paced business world.
London’s Rich Diversity Mirrors LSE’s Spirit
Studying in London adds a rich cultural experience that aligns with LSE’s values of openness and inclusion. The city offers students a diverse environment in which to thrive and grow.
“I picked London because I feel that this city truly embodies diversity and coexistence in harmony, I would say. And this in a mutual respect for each other’s cultures and differences. It’s not only about the city but also at LSE. I think it really resonates [with] the school spirit and also the motto and the purpose of this school,” Kohtaro stresses. (00:51)
London’s inclusive atmosphere complements LSE’s global spirit and purpose.
