You hate your job, and the thought of staying in that same industry

until you retire is driving you crazy. Youre destined to take over the

family business but arent quite convinced you have the necessary

skill set. Youve enjoyed a career in the armed forces but now want

to make a shift into business. You work for a multinational that is

sponsoring its fast-track high achievers to graduate school. You have

a start-up already, but want to understand how you can grow your

business more successfully.

The reasons for doing an MBA are many and varied. Whatever your

motivation and wherever your aspirations take you, make sure that the

reputation and global reach of the London Business School MBA is

behind you.

My London Business School MBA (or MSc as it was then) gave me the

condence to see new possibilities, and was a great springboard for myentrepreneurial interests. The curriculum gave me a sound grounding in

business fundamentals, both at a theoretical and a practical level, and

Im delighted to see that as the School has continued to grow, a focus

on entrepreneurship remains key. I graduated from the School in 1985,

and co-founded Capital One Financial Services in 1994. The company

has grown very quickly since then, from an industry edgling to a highly

successful business. Sales in 2004 reached $10 billion, with more than

$19 billion in market capitalization earnings growth rate and return on

equity has exceeded 20 percent each year since 1995. The company is

also heavily involved in corporate philanthropy and has received several

awards in this area, including the prestigious National Outstanding

Corporate Community Involvement Award from the Points of Light

Foundation. The strong sense of community at London Business School

has ensured that Ive stayed involved with my alma mater. As well as

being a School Governor, I visit campus regularly for guest lectures. If you

are interested in starting your own business, and want a really global MBA

to help you do it, then this is the place for you.

Life at London Business School was awesome, absolutely fantastic. It was

a very intense, life-changing experience, and I would recommend it to

anybody. My second-year project was writing the business plan, together

with three fellow students, for a not-for-prot organisation to make theworld a greener place. I was also co-president of the Entrepreneurship

Club. We aimed to be ambassadors for entrepreneurship, bringing

interesting, inspiring people to speak at events and showing students all

the resources the School has for them. The rst thing we did was to have

a good idea competition two weeks before new students actually started

the MBA, so that when they rst arrived they had lots to talk about. Two

businesses now in operation started from that competition!

The School also has a network of business angels, who were very happy

to mentor starting entrepreneurs. I took two ten-week internships while

I was on the MBA. The rst one was with Bain & Co. I really enjoyed it,

I learned a huge amount, and I got an offer of full-time employment at

the end of it. The second internship was with Google. It was also a very

interesting experience and a huge opportunity to see how things are done

at Google.

You arent progressing up the promotional ladder quite as fast as you want to.

You have a once in a lifetime business idea which wont let you sleep at night,

and a burning desire to know how to put it into practice. You love your job, but

think you could do it better armed with a more strategic perspective.

he London Business School MBA is all these things. Our curriculum

upports individual development needs through increased choice,

econd year or take advantage of the full two year programme. Whatever

our specic study needs, we enable you to tailor your MBA by putting

ur truly versatile and hugely practical programme to work for you.

our rst yeareadership is at the core of everything we do. At orientation, the popular

obal Leadership Assessment for Managers (GLAM) kicks off the early

eadership Module. This course helps you bridge the gap between

nderstanding new countries and cultures and the ability to lead others

culturally sensitive ways. GLAM identies key interpersonal and

amwork skills needed in successful global business management, and

nables you to develop a personalised MBA action plan.

he remainder of the rst year develops core knowledge and skills. The

ore courses are designed to give a thorough grounding in business

ameworks and general management concepts and to help you begin

make connections between and across the subjects that you study.

hey are academically rigorous, stimulating and practical. In addition

lectures, students work very closely in small and carefully selected

udy groups, with peers who are internationally diverse and from a wide

ariety of professional backgrounds. Working together to achieve around

0% of your rst year grade means you will have a steep learning curve,

ut one that is invaluable in todays global workplace.

e believe the experience of learning a second language is a vital part of

ecoming a truly global business leader and managers who are uent in

ne or more languages are an increasingly important asset to their

ompanies. Our MBA Language Programme requires every London

usiness School MBA graduate to achieve competency in one language

her than English by graduation.

Discovering Entrepreneurial Opportunities

In addition to more established core courses, we also offer the ground

breaking and extremely popular course Discovering Entrepreneurial

Opportunities. This class builds the mindsets, tools, and frameworks to

discover new and previously latent opportunities for innovation. This is

often a central challenge for newly graduated MBAs as they are thrown

into a troubled or stagnant division, a new initiative, or an uncertain

market. This course places students in decision making case settings

that require a whole-rm perspective. The aim is to build students

real-world business sense and provide preparation for entry into the

entrepreneurial world.

Field Trips

Field trips are an essential part of our Operations Management core

course, giving students the opportunity to gain an awareness of

operational issues in real-life situations. Recent eld trips have included

visits to the factories of Ducati, Porsche, BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover.

A successful MBA is academically outstanding. It challenges its students throughout, and

rovides practical opportunities to implement classroom learning. It provides easy access

o a rst-class recruiter base, both through its location and its business connections. It

tilises its alumni network fully, as part of a strong and energetic community and it is

exible enough to full your personal requirements in the most effective way possible.

Our fexible curriculum

The key benets of the

programme on a professional

level can be summarised in

three words: development,

opportunity and network, andon a personal level I have been

able to immerse myself in just

about anything going.

Your summer breakThere are three ways in which you can choose to spend your summer

break. Most students do a summer internship, many with the aim

of securing a post-graduation job offer before they return to campus.

The 8-12 week paid placement gives you the chance to try out a

new industry or job function, or to pursue a specialist interest. Six

or seven students each year are selected to work as a team for the

London Business School Consulting Team, while others learn what

it takes to turn a great idea into a fundable business as part of the

Entrepreneurship Summer School.

Investigate your summer options:www.london.edu/mba/summer/

Your second yearIn year two the exibility of our MBA really comes into its own. You can

choose a minimum of nine and a maximum of 12 electives from a large

and varied portfolio. You can study electives that run for a full term, or

load up on courses taught in our demanding block week format. You

can also choose elective streams that run in the mornings, afternoons

or evenings. This versatility gives you the ability to plan your second year

around one of three completion dates particularly useful if you have

a job offer with the potential for an early start. Students are also able to

take advantage of science and technology electives at University College

London. You can keep your subject study broad, or specialise in an area

of particular interest current concentrations include Entrepreneurial

Management, Finance, Marketing, Strategy, Technology Management,

International Business, Private Equity and Change Management.

Read more about our varied and exible elective portfolio:www.london.edu/mba/electives/

This type of elective exibility is excellent if you are one of the many

students who choose to study a term abroad on our International

Exchange Programme. Over one third of our MBA class take advantage

of this superb opportunity each year, travelling as far aeld as China,

India, South Africa and Australia. With over 30 institutions to choose

from we offer one of the biggest exchange programmes in the world.

Your choice of location may depend on anything from elective availability

at the exchange school, a specic second language immersion

experience, or a desire to move your career to a particular country

post-graduation.

The Second Year Project

The Second Year Project is the culmination of your degree, giving you

the opportunity to apply in practice the knowledge acquired in the

As soon as I visited London Business School, I knew it was the place for

me, I visited seven or eight schools in all, but this was by far the most

positive experience everyone I met was very open and welcoming, and

eager to know me students, staff and faculty.

There are two highlights of my experience at the School. The rst is thepeople you meet you cant put a price on that. Business school is an

amazing bonding experience, and the friends you make are friends for

life. The second is that you really gain condence to take any job in a new

career, in a new industry, with a new job description. I can take a big leap

and do something different from what I had done before.
