Louvain School of Management (LSM) is the management faculty of Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), a historic research university of global standing and humanistic values. LSM holds full EQUIS accreditation from the EFMD, which is a top standard for quality in management education.
The world-class management courses and training that LSM delivers are based on the latest advanced research. Programmes focus on both excellence and ethics in business. In fact, the school has been a pioneer in social responsibility and teaching entrepreneurship.
LSM jointly delivers its International Executive MBA programme with Baltic Management Institute (BMI), which LSM helped establish in 1999. BMI is a next-generation educator of executives known for graduates with the agility to succeed in a rapidly changing world. It provides an analogous successful EFMD-accredited EMBA out of the Nordic-Baltic region
Under its unique model, BMI brings in top executive educators from leading business schools worldwide to deliver all programmes. It also enables participants to discover new opportunities through exclusive ‘executive mobility modules’ at up to 10 locations across 3 continents. Managers benefit from first-hand experience in these places with diverse insights and strategic value for business. BMI itself has bases in Vilnius and Brussels.
