Ranked as one of the top ten business schools in the world, London Business School is world famous for its study programs and research material. The school has a principle campus in Regents Park, London, and a Centre of Excellence in the Dubai International Financial Centre. The business school has a global reach, attracting students from over 100 countries across the world. It’s easy to see the appeal.
Faculty at the London Business School deliver several types of MBA programs, Executive Education Courses and PhD. The school also works closely with business schools in other countries, sending staff to help with their programs or running students exchanges. 35% of MBA students spend a term abroad, while students also arrive in London from other countries. Here are further details of the London Business School Courses:
MBA Courses: These courses can run from 11-22 months, and include a traditional MBA program, a Masters in Finance, Masters in Management and Masters in Leadership and Strategy. There are also Executive MBA programs, some of which have a global reach, focussing on executive level business in the Americas and Europe or Asia.
Executive Education: There are open programs, or tailored programs for individual businesses, which run from 2 days to 4 weeks. Course cover subjects like finance, general management and marketing.
PhD: Students on this program have the potential to teach or study at some at the best business schools in the world. The research aspects of this course concentrate on one of seven business areas. These include organisational behaviour, economics and management science/operations. This is a 4 year full time course.
There’s also the matter of finance to consider, and while there is financial support available in the form of scholarships, loans, and grants from educational foundations, students will still need to budget for tuition fees and living expenses.
Tuition Fees on an MBA program currently come in at £53,900, while an Executive MBA fees are £57,775. In terms of Executive Education Courses, fees in 2011 were costed at £5,950. PhD’s are funded by scholarships, which cover 4 years tuition fees and a stipend or fixed wage. Extra costs apply if study continues over the 4 year mark.
Education at this level may come at a price, but it does come from one of the top business schools in the world, which is located in the heart of an important business centre. There are more international banks in London than in any other city in the world, so London Business School is certainly an inspiring place to study.
