London Business School - LBS (reviews)

Let me start by saying I’m Portuguese. I started my MFA in September last year and I can tell you that the London Business School has so much more to offer apart from what you initially expect. The university is amongst the most international in the world. Here I made so many friends from several different backgrounds. This experience opened my eyes to different careers and goals. So what’s the best about LBS apart from the people I would say the practical environment. Everything you learn you know from a fact will be useful for you. For example, in the Private Equity class the professor provided us with a guide for technical questions, a list of all the funds he recommended and was always willing to help make the bridge for a potential referral. Also, the campus is great everything is new. Interesting facts all the books at LBS are free, you have access to a gym membership for life. You are also part of the community meaning you keep getting invited back to campus for networking opportunities. Life was a choice for life

The London Business School is without a doubt the best university in the UK. People are unbelievable and help each other in everything. From assignments to preparing interviews, etc. Here there is a lot of that idea of community where everyone knows each other. Very cool. The teachers are top notch as they go above and beyond to make sure the students are enthusiastic. Unique things from the university. You have a free gym, they offer you lunch all the time and every Thursday you have sundowners which is a dinner that LBS organizes for the students. I always was. The campus is also very beautiful. We had graduation a few days ago and I almost had a tear when I had to say goodbye to my friends. I felt that here I made friends for life. I recommend for any student to choose LBS. The london business school opens doors and makes you see the world in a different way. I am now starting my career in Lisbon as a consultant at BCG. Without LBS I have serious doubts that I would have gotten this place.

Great university! Best thing about LBS is for sure the people you study with. Not only they are the brightest but also the kindest. From day one you can tell how everyone loves to be there. However, it can also be quite a challenging and demanding environment. Between September and December everyone was stressed about the application season but after that everything became easier. Professors are also great: I could highlight for example Kostis for Data Analytics and Alex Edmans for Corporate Finance. In terms of electives, I would recommend taking Data Mining for Business Intelligence and Data Science for Business. Both of them will require a lot but I mean a lot of work but they will be super helpful for your career. Regents is also so beautiful – there’s nothing better than laying on the sun and do a picnic there during the summer.At the time I had to choose between LBS, LSE and Cambridge for their Mphill I am so grateful to LBS. Will miss my MFA class over the next years. I hope this helps any future student.

More than a business school, the London Business School is a community with a focus on changing the world. At the London Business School, I found the most brilliant students of the world. If you are applying to the London Business School is important for you to focus on what you can bring to the school.
