Where minds come alive

We are proud to welcome you into our immensely international, diverse and supportive community where the world’s brightest minds will inspire you to reach your fullest potential and define your success.

Since our inception in 1964, we have set out to help individuals thrive as well as advance a shared purpose: to have a profound impact on the way the world does business and the way business impact the world.

Our faculty are world-class, influential business experts. They push boundaries and experiment. The FTSE 100 index of the biggest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange was the brainchild of our professors Paul Marsh and Elroy Dimson. Lucrezia Reichlin helped to pioneer the econometric concept of now-casting – a form of short-term forecasting based on real-time data -, used by central banks around the world to set monetary policy.

The rigorous thought leadership and dynamic, personal approach of our 166 plus faculty members are at the centre of our eclectic education offering and underpin our top rankings.

Real-world impact: always

We have never stood still. Over the years we have evolved and continue to evolve to reflect the ever-changing business landscape.

We are constantly strengthening our expertise by adding degree and Executive Education programmes to our portfolio in line with market demand. As an example, in 2019, we celebrated our first intake for our Masters in Analytics & Management, a one-year Early Careers programme that blends data analytics and data science into our expert teaching in general management.

Extending our footprint in Dubai, Hong Kong and New York emphasises our ambition to influence international business practice and help business leaders find innovative solutions to their greatest challenges.

Our Executive Education programmes reach 10,000 participants each year and growing -delivered in 35 countries around the world.

We are proud to be a world-leading business school. We are proud to be different. We are proud to be London Business School. The only business school in the heart of London and Dubai where diverse minds come alive to fuel fresh perspectives and change the world.
