Great Experience

LSE is a great place to create life-long connections and friends. There's a certain sense of community that is special to the university. The staff are hands-on and approachable. The facilities are modern and well-equipped.

International Students Think Before Coming

I honestly wouldn’t advise someone to come to this university to be honest. They’re just interested in your money and leave you with no support after that. I’ll advice to spend your money elsewhere because it isn’t worth it AT ALL

Academic Excellence

I can boldly say that today my research skills have improved drastically because of the skills I learnt in UH. UH not only gives you an opportunity to grow, it gives you the necessary exposure as a student. With the experience garnered from UH, you can compete anywhere in the world. The tutors are exceptionally qualified and always ready to guide you through. Adaora Nwaka LLM,Energy Law and the Environment.

Amazing focus on networking and employment at the cost of theorical knowledge

I liked this programme for three main reasons. Firstly, the sense of community you get over the short (1-year) MIM programme is outstanding. The school provides students with daily opportunities to get together and you get really well integrated in a matter of days. Second, the school's utmost priority is your employement. LBS possesses a great career centre that constantly pushes you to look for job opportunities and provides you with great interview trainings. Finally, I believe that only 5% of the students come from the UK, meaning that the school is fully international. On the other hand, from a knowledge perspective, I would not expect to learn much from the main courses if you already have a Bachelor in Business or Economics. The secondary courses you can choose from are, however, really handy. Thanks to its broad focus, this programme excels at preparing you for careers in Consulting or Investment Banking. It is also well recognized worldwide. To sum up, I would recommend this programme for international outgoing individuals who would like to pursue a career in Consulting or Investment Banking.
