Executive MBA Scholarship for Women winners, 2005

"Learning has had a humbling effect. The more knowledge I am presented with, the more I realise how much there is to learn and the choice at London Business School is vast.  The opportunities to open one's mind and explore are endless – one just needs to be ready for the challenge.

London Business School has already surprised me in many ways.  I have found diversity of views, openness and a desire to take student feedback at all times, passion for what the School does and what it stands for in the world.  I have found professors that make the most tedious of subjects interesting.  I have found a lot of humour and genuinely caring individuals in a very efficiently run, professional organisation.  I am still struck by the amount of thinking that goes into our curriculum – after all, this is among the core products the School has to offer and it is the School's duty and privilege to optimise it at all times.  Already, I can confidently say that at London Business School nothing happens by chance and everything is here for a reason."

"I had not anticipated when beginning the Executive MBA just how much I would value not only the faculty at London Business School, but also my other classmates.  Being in an environment with students from 30 different countries who work in a variety of global industries has been hugely rewarding.  The faculty here encourage classroom discussion, whether the subject be Corporate Finance or Organisational Behaviour, and there is almost always a student in class with experience relevant to the industry or organisation we are discussing.  Each Monday, when I return to the office after a weekend at London Business School, I have new ideas and skills to apply immediately in my work."
