Financing your course

Undertaking a course at London Business School is a substantial investment in time and money. One of your key decisions will be how to finance your studies and estimate the costs involved�

Think ahead

Before you start your studies, you must ensure that you have the necessary funds in place for the duration of the programme. Most funding sources have strict deadlines, often several months before your course formally begins.

Use your funds first

We strongly advise you to provide as much personal funding as possible through any investments, savings or sponsorship you have access to, before approaching any external funding organisations. Much of the external support available will depend on the course you wish to apply for, your mode of study and your nationality or place of residence.

Part-time students - fees only

Part-time students should be aware that most organisations will only consider providing fee support. There are only a limited number of scholarships available to part-time students who are in full-time employment.You will be expected to cover the living costs yourself, normally through employment.

Start-up costs

We recommend full-time students have enough funds to cover at least eight weeks of living expenses when arriving to start the course (more if you need to cover the cost of the duration of your study period). This can cover any unexpected delays in the arrival of your funding. Your expenses are highest at the start of the course when you need to pay an accommodation deposit, buy a travel card for transportation, buy your first course materials and so on.

Check for programme-specific funding

We advise all students to check for any course-specific internal scholarships offered by London Business School. These are detailed in the pages relating to each programme.
