Luxembourg School of Business

What Luxembourg School of Business does

Luxembourg School of Business (LSB) is a private, non-profit (a.s.b.l.) international business school founded in 2014 and headquartered in Luxembourg City, operating as the only business school in Luxembourg accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research and the only Luxembourgish institution holding AACSB International membership. The school delivers a portfolio of degree programs — Bachelor in International Business (3 years, 180 ECTS), Master in Management and Master in International Finance (2 years, 120 ECTS, both with mandatory paid internships), Weekend MBA (2 years, 60 ECTS, max 30 students per intake), and Full-Time MBA (1 year, 60 ECTS) — alongside executive education including the 20-week online Financial Industry Management (FIM) program leading to the FICP designation, short Open Programs, and custom Corporate Learning Partnerships. Programs are taught in English with faculty drawn from international business schools and senior industry practitioners, and feature small cohort sizes, mandatory internships, and study trips to financial hubs including Singapore, China, Taiwan, and New York.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition (tiered EU/non-EU pricing, with the Full-Time MBA at EUR 37,000-39,000 and MiM at EUR 12,500-14,500 per year), supplemented by executive education course fees and bespoke corporate training contracts. The school serves multiple B2C segments — recent high school graduates, recent university graduates, experienced professionals, and finance industry entrants — across 50+ nationalities, with the Career Center facilitating internships and placements within Luxembourg's financial ecosystem (the world's second-largest fund industry jurisdiction). The go-to-market is multi-channel: direct website enrollment, monthly information sessions, international student fairs across Europe and Latin America, alumni referral networks, and Erasmus exchange agreements with partner universities in France, Italy, Lithuania, and Chile. Technology delivery is largely traditional classroom-based, with online delivery limited to the FIM program and supporting digital tools; the school's principal technological initiative is co-leadership of the EUonAIR European Commission project (starting January 2025) developing an AI-integrated virtual campus platform.
