Interview
Short-listed applicants may be invited to an interview to meet faculty and to see the facilities at London Business School. The programme is able to meet travel expenses for this.
For candidates unable to travel to London arrangements can be made to conduct interviews by telephone.
Regrettably, due to the large number of applications received each year, it is not possible to arrange meetings with members of faculty before interview.
