Santander Group and LSE launch a programme to develop managerial skills
Santander Group and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) are launching the first edition of Santander Scholarships Skills | MBA Essentials 2022 – LSE.

Under the programme, 900 scholarships will be available for residents from 13 countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Germany, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Peru, Spain, UK, Uruguay and USA). The 10-week online course has been developed by LSE, one of the most prestigious educational institutions in economics and business in the world. Its main objective is to provide participants, in record time, with the main tools that the MBA offers and that will help them shape their professional environment.
Through these scholarships, we want to help people who aspire to managerial positions in any organisation acquire business skills.
