Application Process
Admissions calendar

Please see the upcoming admissions calendar for our application deadlines.

You may apply at any of the application deadlines indicated in the admissions calendar. Your admissions journey is staged, but the Admissions Committee reserves the right to communicate decisions outside of these application deadlines with you. Our calendar indicates when you will receive a review decision from us, and the period we will be conducting interviews; as well as the final decision date.

The same selection criteria is applied throughout the admissions cycle, but competition is often intense in the final months and we recommend you apply as early as possible as places are filled on a first come, first serve basis. Priority for scholarships and bursaries will be given to those who apply by the March deadline.

The deadlines for the 2021 intake (MAM2022 class) are:

Application deadline	Interview decision deadline	Latest final decision
Wednesday 30 September	Thursday 15 October	Thursday 12 November
Wednesday 4 November	Thursday 19 November	Thursday 17 December
Monday 25 January	Thursday 18 February	Tuesday 23 March
Wednesday 31 March	Thursday 22 April	Thursday 20 May
Friday 28 May	Tuesday 15 June	Thursday 8 July
Please note that candidates should submit their application by 23:59 UK time on the day of their chosen deadline.

Required Documents

Completed application form

The application form is designed to be completed over several sessions. You can
save your work as you go and submit the completed form at any time ahead of the
final admissions deadline.
Application essays

Application essays are your opportunity to tell us more about yourself and detail your interests, values and goals. We are interested in what motivates you, evidence of leadership and teamwork, why you are looking to pursue a Masters in Analytics and Management and what you will bring to the LBS community.
Essays are a vital part of your application and we recommend you spend a significant amount of time on them. They must be specific to the current application and personal statements will not be accepted in lieu of the essays.
GMAT/GRE
You must take either the GMAT or GRE before you submit your application. If you have not received your official score report by the time your submit, we do accept the unofficial score report as evidence. We have no minimum score but recommend you apply with a GMAT score of 600 or above.

Our institution codes are:
- GMAT = Z11-J7-40
- GRE = 4264
Practice the GMAT test with London Business School's GMAT simulator and prepare yourself for the test.

What to expect next?

Successfully submitted? Here’s what to expect once you’ve submitted your application.

After you submit

You must submit all required documents - essays, GMAT/GRE, references, transcript(s) and application fee - before we can consider your application. It is your responsibility to ensure your application is complete; if anything is missing you may be notified and given a deadline to submit this information. If this deadline is not met, your application will be reviewed as is and the decision to take your application to the interview stage will be made on the basis of the information submitted.

Please note your application submission date is determined by when your application is complete.

Once you have submitted your application you will receive an automated email response confirming receipt of your application. This includes important information about next steps, including paying the application fee, submitting additional documentation. It also includes further details on our interview process, so please do ensure you read this carefully.

All decisions are communicated via email. We will not discuss your decision over the phone, or with anyone other than you. We will contact you directly should any document or information be missing. Please note all decisions arefinal.
Interviews

Interview invitations are issued based on your initial application review. If you are located in the UK, we will ask you to London Business School for an interview with a member of our Admissions Team or alumni community. If you are located in Western Europe, you may also be asked to travel to London for your interview.

If you are unable to travel to London, interviews will be conducted by members of our alumni community. These can take longer to coordinate, but the scheduling will not affect your application.

In some cases, a Skype interview may be conducted if a face-to-face meeting is not possible, but the majority of interviews will be conducted in person, on or off campus.
Some candidates may be asked for a follow-up interview where there are outstanding questions about the application. The Admissions Team will contact such candidates directly.

The Admissions Team and alumni utilise the same interview process - who you interview with, and where, will not have any impact on the outcome of your application. The Admissions Committee employs the same assessment criteria regardless of the interviewer (staff or alumni) or location.
Waitlist

We operate a waitlist system. Waitlisted applicants receive regular updates at scheduled dates. Each year, a number of waitlist candidates are successful in getting a place on the programme.

If waitlisted, you may be required to attend a follow-up interview with a member of the Early Career Programmes Office.

How to apply FAQs

What degree do I need and how do I know if I meet the academic requirements?

We accept strong undergraduate degrees (minimum 2:1) in a numerate discipline such as finance, accounting, economics, engineering, chemistry, physics, math, computer science and business and management or other proof of quantitative ability. You must complete your undergraduate degree prior to the start of the programme in September.
I’ve lived in a non-English speaking country all my life and studied in another language, but I’m fluent in English. Do I still need to take IELTS or TOEFL? If so, can I apply and take it later?

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 their English fluency through an English language speaking test. We recommend you take this when applying for the programme. If you apply without a test score, your application may still be reviewed.

Do you accept the GRE?

We accept both the GMAT and GRE. You must take one of these tests prior to submitting your application.
My GMAT/GRE test has been affected by Covid-19

Please visit our coronavirus FAQs page for the latest updates on our position re: GMAT/GRE tests.
Can I apply for more than one programme at a time?

No. You'll need to select which programme you’re applying to at the beginning of your application. If you are unsure which is best for you, please contact our recruitment team on mam@london.edu.
