Henley International Business Masterclasses (Spring 2026)
The Henley International Business Masterclasses are an initiative developed in the International Business and Strategy unit at Henley Business School. The masterclasses are delivered in two sets each academic year, in the Autumn and Spring session. The Spring 2026 session will consist of two masterclasses which will be taught in hybrid mode from 13 to 16 April 2026.
The courses have been designed for face-to-face delivery, and participants are encouraged to attend in-person to benefit from face-to-face interactions, but those who are unable to travel to Reading will be able to attend the live sessions online via MS Teams. The masterclasses are offered to PhD students and post-doctoral researchers.
Spring 2026 Masterclasses – Application process
The default way to participate does not involve formal academic enrolment. You’ll receive a certificate of participation, subject to a registration fee of £100 for one module and £180 for two modules, and attendance of at least 80% of the sessions. Returning participants who attended a masterclass session within the past 18 months are eligible for a 15% discount on the participation fee.
If you want to earn academic credits, you can choose the credit-bearing option. You may earn 10 credits per module (equivalent to 5 ECTS credits) upon the positive evaluation of coursework and payment of an additional tuition fee (£230 for Home and £460 for international students per module).
To apply for the masterclasses, please complete an online application form, and email the following supporting documents to Jana Oslejova:
An application is considered complete upon reception of the online form and supporting documents. Incomplete applications will not be processed, which may result in delays in communication of the decision.
The Spring 2026 Masterclasses application deadline is 12 January 2026.
Funding is available for a limited number of participants thanks to the support of the Alan Rugman Memorial Fund, and it may contribute towards costs of travel and accommodation for the duration of the masterclasses (tuition costs will not be covered).
Funding recipients are selected through a formal process, with nominations provided by PhD supervisors or other academic referees. Applicants must indicate their intention to apply for funding in their application form. The academic reference letter should also nominate the applicant and support their funding application. Supporting documents (CV and academic reference) should be sent to Jana Oslejova by the deadline.
This funding is limited, and we strongly encourage everyone to seek their own financial support from their institution or government.
