Online learning at WBS

Our online platform my.wbs removes geographical barriers, enabling you to discuss issues in real-time with your peers and academics. You can engage in lectures in real time with wbsLive, test your knowledge, watch recorded sessions, access teaching materials, connect with other students, participate in global study groups and speak directly to your lecturers, peers and  Programme Team through the platform. 

We have invested in lightboard technology to help us create the most engaging and interactive instructional videos possible. The technology enables lecturers to face their audience while standing behind a clear glass “wall” on which they can draw and write. This creates a more engaging and dynamic learning experience for remote learners. You will also encounter a wide range of other instructional media types; all recorded and edited by our in-house media team. These include on-location case studies, interviews, talking heads and podcasts.

As part of the Warwick Business School community, you will be joining a diverse network of Change Makers, with alumni and cohorts comprised of 59,000 individuals from 172 countries. You'll study alongside professionals from a wide range of industries, opening you up to a world of perspectives and enabling you to gain valuable insights, ideas and advice from various sectors and businesses of all sizes.

You'll connect with your peers with just a few clicks of a button through my.wbs, as well as having the opportunity to network  face-to-face at networking events held around the world and online webinars. Find out more about our range of professional networks - all open to students studying both face-to-face and online.

"My cohort are a diverse and inspirational group of individuals; everyone has such a unique set of experiences and skills, which makes group work and class discussions so fascinating and enriching. The relationships I am shaping on the MBA will undoubtedly prove invaluable later on in my career." - Adam Doyle, Global Online MBA

"The module leaders have been truly inspiring with their insights into each of the disciplines being taught. Each of the modules has great content and a rich mix of articles/journals and external recommendations, but the module leaders are in a league of their own."  - James Brazier, Global Online MBA

We're always looking for ways to improve and enhance our technology, so we're delighted to have introduced SmartStage® in January 2024. The next generation in online lecture environments, SmartStage® utilises extended reality to replace the traditional green screen element with a virtual studio. This allows academics to interact with the content around them to create fully immersive and visually stimulating live lectures and to bring guest speakers from across the globe in to the classroom. This ground-breaking broadcast technology has the potential to greatly enrich the learning experience and bring remote learning to life.

 Warwick Business School's SmartStage® online learning environment won the AMBA & BGA Excellence Award for Best Digital Transformation 2025.
