No. This programme is not recommended if you already have a MiM or an MBA as some of the management material covered is likely to be a repeat.
After graduating from the GMiM, you can apply for the MBA as long as you meet the entry requirements. However, you will need to apply for the programme, as non-alumni do, and will not be exempt from any coursework covered on the GMiM. Students on the London Business School (LBS) MBA have an average of five years’ work experience.
Probably not. The GMiM is designed for students wanting to step into the workplace once they graduate. Please contact the GMiM recruitment team if you have questions.

If you’ve lived in a non-English speaking country and/or your undergraduate degree wasn’t taught in English, you’re required to prove your English fluency through an English language speaking test. We recommend you take this when applying for the programme.
We recommend that you have some knowledge of Mandarin and/or a willingness to learn, although it is not mandatory.
We accept both the GMAT and GRE. You must take one of these tests prior to submitting your application. For additional information, please visit the how to apply page.
We take your highest score, but we don’t combine scores from different tests.
The School does not have any arrangements for students to transfer between its programmes or to/from a programme at another institution.
The GMiM is specially designed for recent graduates - so you can join straight from your undergraduate studies. It’s also suitable for those who have completed an internship or have up to two years in the workplace.
Our preference is that you choose a current or previous employer who is able to provide insight into your character and abilities, please choose someone who knows you well. If you are unable to provide a current (or previous) employer e.g. if you work for a family business or an entrepreneur, then please select an academic referee who knows you well enough to comment on your character and abilities.
You are only permitted to submit one reference, who must submit their reference via our online system. We do not accept pre-written letters of recommendation.
If your transcript is not in English you will need to provide a certified translation. A soft copy will be required at the application stage. Those applicants who are made an offer will be required to provide a hardcopy of both the English and original transcripts before the programme start date.
Answers over the word limit will not be considered by the Admissions Committee. We look for concise, informative answers within the word limit that demonstrate your potential for success on the programme.
Please view the deadline information on the how to apply page. We recommend you apply as early as possible. The later you apply, the more competitive the process becomes.
We do not provide feedback on unsuccessful applications. You may only apply once per academic year to the Global Masters in Management.
If you are an EEA, Swiss or non-EEA national, you may need a visa to study in the UK. If you are an Irish citizen, you don’t need a visa to study in the UK.
