Student and alumni profiles
People choose to study for an MBA for a variety of reasons. Some are looking to make a move up to the next career level, while others are looking to change industry or job function. Others are looking for the skills to enable them to put their own business plan into practice. All are looking to better position themselves for future advancement and success.
Here's what some of our students, past and present, have to say about it...
Student profiles
"I have never in my life been surrounded by such a high concentration of talented, smart and genuinely nice individuals, as during my first year at London Business School. Classes are amazing, but some of my most significant learning experiences have been arguing history at 3am during a School trip to Berlin, discussing international economics on a yacht off the coast of Italy during spring break, and learning traditional Indian dancing at Tattoo. My best friends are from Germany, Italy, UK, Poland, Brazil, Korea, Iceland and Morocco - it doesn't get more international than that."
Adi Heinhorn (Israel, MBA2009)
"London Business School was an obvious choice for me. I wanted a top-ranked school with high international exposure and strong alumni links. London Business School provides both, giving me opportunities that previously I would never have access to."
Dan Saunders (UK, MBA2009)
"If you choose to go to London Business School, you will earn a top notch MBA… and that's just one part of your experience. You will develop an international network that will challenge and open your mind in ways you could never predict. The professors introduce concepts in class that are then interpreted in different ways by students from all over the world. It's an incredible experience to be in this type of learning environment."
Claire Gorman (USA, MBA2009)
Alumni profile
"Prior to joining London Business School, I worked in business consulting, originally with Arthur Andersen and later with Saha International, a boutique energy and infrastructure consultancy. After a number of years consulting in Australia and SE Asia, I was looking for a leading business school to study at, but most importantly I wanted a truly international experience. London Business School was the obvious choice.
"One of the fantastic things about London Business School is the unique environment you find yourself in. With such a wide range of nationalities, group work can be very interesting (we had 57 different nationalities represented in a class of 325 students!) It is a challenging but very rewarding experience. The diversity also means the opportunities available here are amazing - trips include the annual School ski jaunt to the Alps, the rugby tour to Argentina, sailing trips in the Caribbean and the MBA Olympics in France, to name just a few.
"An important part of the MBA is the opportunity to do a Summer Internship to either test out a new career or to continue working in your current field. I chose to work with BP in Cape Town and spent an incredible ten weeks helping the company develop their sub-Saharan business strategy. It was a great chance to demonstrate the skills I had learnt during the previous year. It is the strength of the School's academics, the network of contacts and friendships that you develop and also the amazing experiences outside of the classroom that make an MBA from London Business School the opportunity of a lifetime."
