Networking Opportunities

One of the key benefits of attending Lagos Business School MBA is the access to a vast network of alumni, faculty, and industry leaders. Lagos Business School MBA has a strong reputation in the business community, which attracts top talent from across Nigeria and beyond. Students have the opportunity to connect with these individuals through networking events, guest lectures, and mentorship programmes. This network provides a wealth of knowledge and resources that can be leveraged to advance their careers and personal development.

LBS MBA is designed to be an immersive experience, and networking opportunities are available throughout the year. The annual Global Alumni Conference (GAC) brings together our alumni from all over the world for a weekend of networking and learning about new trends in business. In addition, first-year students are paired with experienced professionals through a mentorship programme that allows them to share their knowledge with one another while building relationships that will last long after graduation day. Finally, international exchange programmes give you the opportunity to study abroad during your time at Lagos Business School.

There are a number of networking events that take place at LBS. These include:

• Mixers and Alumni gatherings are organised by the LBS Alumni Association (LBSAA). The LBSAA organised these events to bring together current students with alumni who have graduated from LBS or similar institutions. They also provide opportunities for students to learn about the career paths of successful alumni as well as how they got there.

• Consulting Coaching Sessions, MBA Career Fair, CEO Speaker series, Career session, Africa Business Conference, Africa Energy Conference, etc which are organised by  LBS MBA Careers/Placement Office. These sessions and conferences help you gain insight into different industries while also allowing you to meet like-minded professionals who share similar interests with yours!

International Exchange Programmes

In addition to the local network, Lagos Business School MBA has partnered with several leading business schools around the world, including schools in Mexico, France, Spain, India, South Africa, Canada, the Ivory Coast, Germany, Kenya, and Dubai. These partnerships provide students with the opportunity to participate in exchange programmes, study abroad programmes, study trips and joint research projects. These experiences allow students to gain a deeper understanding of global business practices and cultures, and to develop a global mindset that is essential for success in today's interconnected world.

The exchange programmes offered by Lagos Business School MBA allow Full-Time MBA students to spend a semester or more studying at one of the partner schools. This provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a new culture, learn from different professors and classmates, and gain new perspectives on global business challenges. The exchange programmes are highly competitive and provide an opportunity for Full-Time MBA students to showcase their academic and leadership skills.

Lagos Business School MBA also offers study abroad programmes and study trips which are shorter in duration than the exchange programmes. These programmes provide students with an opportunity to gain exposure to different business environments and cultures, and to develop a global network of contacts. The study abroad programmes are typically offered during the summer months and are open to students from all degree programmes.
