University programme/program

Hello,

In Longman Dictionary an entry of programme/program reads: "Education: American English a course of study. Does it mean that "programme" in this context shouldn't be used in British English? If not, what word should be used instead?

"MBA program aims to provide future business leaders with the skills and knowledge needed to meet today's world-scale challenges."


Thank you
