Our approach, rigorous evidence-based research and dynamic learning experiences provide a unique environment to assess, design and test solutions to future business challenges.

We also champion diversity, recognising it as a powerful driver of innovation, equity and inclusive learning.

Where is London Business School and what’s the setting like?

We choose to operate in the world-class business centre of London because it offers a unique and exciting window on the modern world and global challenges, culturally, socially and commercially.

We also have a campus in Dubai, placing us at the heart of a fast-growing international business hub that connects markets across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

With campuses in London and Dubai, we place our students in two of the world’s most dynamic cities, giving them direct access to leading organisations, global perspectives and rich learning opportunities shaped by their surroundings. Within this environment, our students and participants build powerful, lifelong connections and gain insights that would not be possible without this diverse and engaging backdrop.

International exposure and working with people from diverse backgrounds was one of the biggest benefits of London Business School

What are the entry requirements and fees?

London Business School offers a range of programmes, each with its own entry requirements and fee structure. We recommend visiting london.edu to review the specific criteria, application deadlines and admissions timelines for your chosen programme.

We understand studying at business school is an important investment in your future. While tuition fees vary by programme, there are a number of ways to finance your studies, including scholarships, loans and employer sponsorship.

We offer a broad portfolio of scholarships to recognise outstanding candidates and support those with financial need. Most scholarships do not require a separate application, as all admitted students are automatically considered.

Some scholarships are awarded early in the admissions cycle, so we encourage prospective students to apply as early as possible to maximise their chances of receiving financial support.

Students can also explore loan options through a range of external providers, as well as any funding available in their home country.

With over 80 student clubs, more than 1,000 club events each year, and 150 student leaders organising conferences and more, there is always something exciting happening.

The Student Association (SA) represents student interests, runs social events, and supports our clubs. SA officers are elected by students and sit on a number of School committees, ensuring student voices are considered in senior management decisions. Each year, the SA brings the community together for celebratory events, including the multicultural festival Tattoo and the Summer Ball.

Life at London Business School fosters lasting relationships, with active alumni and professional networks keeping you connected well beyond graduation.

My MBA class includes a former ballerina from San Francisco Ballet and a guy who spent 10 years living on a remote island aqua farming. Everyone’s motivations and circumstances are wildly different and that’s what makes it such an interesting place to learn.

What facilities does London Business School offer?

Welcome to London Business School. Dynamic. Cosmopolitan. Diverse.

You’ll find all the energy of London – its cultural richness and spirit of innovation – right here on our main campus opposite the glorious Regent’s Park.

Right in the heart of the UK’s capital city and Travelcard Zone 1, Sussex Place is home to our very first building – a Grade II-listed property designed in the early 1820s by the architect responsible for Buckingham Palace, John Nash. Now known as the Ratcliffe Building, its lecture theatres and classrooms offer sweeping views of the neighbouring Regent’s Park, which was also designed by Nash, along with the area surrounding Marylebone and London Business School.

Our Sussex Place campus remains part of the Crown Estate and we’ve been delighted to welcome members of the Royal Family to official building openings over the years.

For a closer look at our campus, you can take a virtual tour here.

London Business School offers diversity like nowhere else. I’ve learned so much from people with different cultural backgrounds, ways of thinking, and from different industries.
