Discover who you are with London Business School

One of the world’s most elite business school, London Business School has shaped business practices and transformed careers across the globe. Their academic strength drives proactive, independent and original business thinking, empowering the people to challenge conventional wisdom in a unique academic and holistic environment.

Why London Business School?

In the Forbes MBA rankings,

London Business School (LBS)

ranked #1 in the non-American two-year MBA programs due to the graduates’ gains in earnings. For example, LBS Class of 2011 entered the program making $79,000. Four years after their graduation, their incomes skyrocketed to $210,000 — $51,000 higher than runner-up in the rankings, IESE. Also, this higher pay represented a $102,100 gain after lost income and tuition fees were factored into the equation.

London Business School even outperformed one-year programs such as INSEAD, IMD and Cambridge Judge when it came to five-year ROI.

Every year, about a third of London Business School students take part in an exchange program, where students spend a term at one of more than 30 business schools ranging from Wharton and Columbia to HEC Paris and CEIBS.

Diversified Classroom

London is a creative and financial epicentre, a symbol of perseverance and refinement, and London Business School (LBS), is pretty much a reflection of the city which is a gateway to Europe and a much larger world.

About 90% of the students in the Class of 2017 came from outside the United Kingdom, representing 68 nationalities. For David Simpson, Admissions Director at London Business School, the remarkable diversity of the applicants is the b-school’s calling card.

The 400-member class arrived with a 710 average GMAT score, up by 10% from the Class of 2016. The GMAT score range from 600 to 780. “We’re pleased to see yet another increase in the women population in the classroom joining the MBA, at 35% compared to 33% last year. We offered scholarships including some in partnership with institutions such as the 30% Club & Forte Foundation, to outstanding women with proven professional and academic achievements” said David Simpson, Admissions Director at London Business School.

How London Business School selects an applicant?

To start with, LBS looks at the CV of a candidate; they’re looking at someone’s career track and the accomplishments they have had in their professional and academic background. LBS looks for a desire to make a global impact and work internationally. They want everybody joining the program to make the most of it. That generally involves either moving into a new area of work or a new geographic area.

LBS is fine with people who might want to return to their own country. As this would help them to broaden their alumni network. But they expect that you will be using those global skills, network, and knowledge. Work with a company that enables you to do that. And work in a collaborative manner, projecting your team and managerial skills. Students at LBS work in a collaborative manner with each other, and their scores are dependent on their team groups. It’s difficult to work with someone in an intensive MBA program. Especially with people you have nothing in common with culturally or professionally.

The average experience range in a class is 2 to 13 years. But a majority have experience ranging between 4 and 7 years. Additionally, the outliers at either end represent a small number. The less experienced ones tend to come from an extremely narrow range of industrial background.

LBS is a global school with a global ambition. Entrepreneurs, Small business, Big business, Corporations all benefit from the unmatched diversity of thought at LBS. No other schools can guarantee such a rich diversity, hungry, vibrant and connected experience, or such a powerful global perspective.
