“The executive level of the students, the global standing of an LBS MBA and the quality of the faculty all played a part.”

New growth opportunities

“When I first started the EMBA, I really wanted to reach outside my comfort zone but I thought that the EMBA Dubai would be a ‘sideshow’ to my life. That was before student life drew me in to a community beyond anything I had expected from a business school."

“LBS truly exceeded my expectations. I was ready for a new experience and wanted to look at my work from a different perspective, but the reality was even more impactful than I expected. What really stood out was the global focus and the opportunity to learn through international immersion. But the executive level of the students, the global standing of an LBS MBA and the quality of the faculty all played a part too."

“I was born in London but now live in Dubai, so I wanted to study and make connections in both cities. The EMBA Dubai allowed me to grow my network exponentially in both places. I had a mentor in London who worked for Virgin Media - he was a great sounding board, not just for industry advice, but also for my long-term career path. Most of my network is in Dubai but he introduced me to people in London who gave me some great ideas."

A wider horizon

“I made some of my strongest connections on our Global Business Assignment (GBA) in Argentina. Meeting key politicians and business leaders, we were able to get under the skin of the economy and find out what really makes the country tick. A few of us also decided to go travelling down to Patagonia afterwards and crossed over into Chile. It really made the whole experience come to life."

“The diversity and accomplishments of the LBS student population means that there is always someone on hand to help with any topic you can imagine. My classmates were some of the smartest and warmest students I’ve met in my life. People are not protective of their knowledge. Everyone helps everyone else to get ahead.”

“At LBS, you’re exposed to so many different people that it really widens your horizons. The faculty have also been very inspiring and helped me to start envisioning new possibilities for my career."

“It’s fascinating to meet people who are at the top of their game across so many different industries - it makes you think about all the new possible paths you could take.”
