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.
Additional highlights
Top academia and business world faculty: Our faculty consists of academics, executives in multinationals and entrepreneurs. You will learn from and be challenged by professors who bring industry experience and academic expertise to the classroom.
