Understanding the Role of LBBS: Executive Education, Not Yet a University

Executive Education: What It Really Means

In today’s fast-evolving professional world, traditional degrees are no longer the only path to leadership. Many forward-thinking professionals are now turning to executive education, a model designed for those who want real-world knowledge, flexibility, and practical tools to lead in modern business environments.

At London Bridge Business School (LBBS), executive education is at the heart of what we do. Our programmes are built for busy professionals, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who need more than theory. We deliver leadership development experiences that prioritise clarity, confidence, and global relevance, not just academic credit.

Who We Are and Who We’re Becoming

LBBS is a UK-registered executive education platform, with a focus on personal and professional transformation. We offer a range of leadership and development programmes, honorary recognitions, and global events that bring together exceptional individuals from across the world.

We are not a traditional university, and we make no claim to be one. Unlike universities that issue academic degrees based on formal coursework, we currently offer non-academic qualifications and symbolic recognitions such as our honorary doctorate award.

That said, our journey is progressing.

A School in Transition

While we are proud of the impact we’re making in the executive education space, we understand the importance of academic recognition. That is why LBBS is actively working toward becoming a fully accredited, degree-awarding institution.

We are registered in the United Kingdom and recognised by the Accreditation Service for International Schools, Colleges and Universities (ASIC), a respected independent body for quality assurance in education.

Our academic accreditation process is well underway. In the coming months, we expect to receive official approval to offer academic qualifications alongside our current executive programmes.

Why This Matters

This distinction is important for clarity and trust.

We want our students, honourees, and partners to know exactly who we are. LBBS is a bold, modern platform preparing the next generation of global leaders. Our courses, summits, and honorary recognitions are designed to equip real people for real impact, regardless of whether they come from traditional academic backgrounds.

And when our academic status is confirmed, we will continue to lead with the same integrity, innovation, and global mindset that define us today.

Final Thoughts

As we move toward this next phase, transparency remains a core value at LBBS. We are not in the business of pretending to be something we’re not. Instead, we are building responsibly and intentionally toward a future-ready institution for leadership education and recognition.

Whether you are looking to sharpen your skills, grow your influence, or connect with a global network of changemakers, LBBS is here to support your journey.
