Does London Business School offer undergraduate / bachelor / first degree programmes?
No. London Business School’s portfolio of courses does not include undergraduate education. The School is focused on postgraduate business education, offering a range of courses across MBA, Masters and PhD degrees, plus a selection of short courses designed for executives.
If you wish to study your first degree in London, you might wish to consider the undergraduate programmes that are on offer at our sister colleges and institutes within the University of London.
Our Executive Education programmes attract leaders from a wide range of countries, industries and organisations. Their shared aim is to develop their business capabilities and perform at a higher level.
Each programme is different and each delivers different benefits. You can read the individual benefits page for each course, or see which is the right programme for you using our programme selector.
Baker Street Station, on the Bakerloo, Jubilee, Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith & City Lines, is a 5-minute walk from London Business School. For further instructions, see our maps.
Accommodation is organised for participants who are on our General Management residential programmes (see programme pages). If you are not on a General Management programme, local hotels near to the campus offer preferential rates and we can assist you with this should you need it.
PhD
Didn't find what you were looking for? Visit the programme's overview page:
Some students are encouraged to attend a four week maths refresher or pre-programme course in September (depending on the subject area). All students will be required to attend a 2-day orientation in the first month of the programme, giving you the chance to meet faculty, your first year supervisor and other PhD students. You'll also receive training and induction in London Business School's facilities and services.
All students offered a place on the PhD programme receive full funding, which includes a tax-free stipend (£27,000 per year) guaranteed for five years (subject to satisfactory academic progression) and a tuition fee waiver.
No, you do not need to contact faculty members before you make an application. Decisions on supervisors are only made after the first year in the programme, so you will have plenty of time to get to know faculty. We do encourage you to read the faculty profiles on our website to see if faculty at LBS have research interests relevant to what you wish to do.
The academic year starts in October. The year is divided into three terms (AUT, SPR and SUM), lasting 10 weeks each. Some new students may also need to attend a pre-sessional course in September.
All students must work as teaching or research assistants for 20 days (160 hours) a year in years 2, 3 and 4 of the programme. At least 10 days (80 hours) should be of teaching assistance (and the other 10 days could be research assistance, depending on each subject area’s preference). This is seen as a valuable part of your training.
Your application needs to reach us by 1st December. Make sure you have allowed enough time for your GMAT and/or other scores to be processed. We suggest you take any tests (and request for the results to be sent to us) before 20th October.
We do not offer transfers. You may be admitted to the programme from year one and apply for exemption from courses already taken. In such cases students will be required to pass a waiver examination. No more than three course waivers are permitted.
Yes, you must. We expect all applicants to submit a GRE or GMAT score before their application can be considered. Your score is valid for up to five years.
