I am very glad to have joined the school specially because of the amazing cohort.

Diversity: 90%+ class is international, I am experiencing the diversity of thoughts during classroom discussions, which is good for having different perspectives.Location of school: London is a hub of various start-ups and top tier employers. One has plenty of opportunities for internships and part-time projects during the term as well, which is an added benefit. The flexibility of the program: I can choose to exit in 15, 18, or 21 months, and tailor my electives, core courses, and exchange based on my choice/preferences.

The course curriculum is very relevant to anyone who wants to have a broader perspective on business areas. The case-study based method of teaching is also very effective. By the end of your course, you will get to know about every industry, be it aviation, electronics, FMCG, banking, oil & gas, or anything that you can think of. Moreover, there are many assignments that are only to test your learning and not for grading.

For LBS, I had to submit 2 LORs, a CV, and a few essays. Essays were on goals (short/long term), how/why LBS will help you, extra-curricular, international experience, optional (additional info about you/choice of recommenders, break in career), and a brief description of all previous jobs. After getting selected based on application, there were two video interviews where I had to record an answer for 60 sec based on one random question and one pre-set question. Also, there was one in-person interview with the LBS alum. Based on these, the final decision will be released. It's good to read about the interviewer's profile and have questions or some personal stories to make a connection with the interviewer. In my case, I interviewed with an alum from the same undergrad college so I chatted a lot on that. I also got to know about his interest in Board games from his social media profile. Co-incidentally I had also written about it in my application, so we could connect on that as well. Interviewers are generally friendly and would want to know more about you and your goals in a conversational manner, so there is no need to get tensed. You should know what you have written in the application and CV.

A lot of students get into consulting (37% - McKinsey, BCG, Bain, A.T. Kearney, etc.) and finance (23% - Credit Suisse, DB, GS, MS, Bank of America, etc.) and technology (23% - Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Apple, American Express, etc.). Apart from that, people get into diversified sectors including start-ups, a few FMCGs, etc. Companies recruit for locations across the world, including London, Japan, UAE, Europe, etc.

I haven't opted for any internship but will do. It's only been 2 months.

There are plenty of opportunities in the form of various clubs: cultural (India, LATAM, China, Asia, etc.), social (Football, Board games, swimming, yoga, etc.), and career (consulting, banking, entrepreneurship, family business, tech and media, commodity, etc.). The entire class is divided into 6 streams and you have academic, social, and career representatives in each stream. They will help you in all aspects and keep organizing stuff to make your time memorable (game nights, parties, dining outs, weekend treks, academic calendar, workshops, etc.).

Around 88000 GBP

No, I didn't receive any scholarships during my MBA. There is no separate application required for most scholarships except some women-specific ones for which you will have to apply once you get the admit.

Faculty is varied from very experience to young professors, which results in different teaching styles. Interaction is very much encouraged for better learning of you and your peers. Everybody is approachable and happy to discuss and help in any area related to their subject. There are separate tutorials for people who find things moving faster, which is also super helpful as people are from diverse backgrounds.

The campus doesn't have a residential area. Everybody stays around the campus by renting an apartment (single/shared). It's very easy to find accommodation and there are plenty of LBSers that you keep seeing whenever you go out. The typical monthly cost for renting an apartment, including utilities, ranges from 900 - 1200 GBP. Eating and other utilities would cost around 200 - 500 GBP depending on your preferences. The campus has a gym and library that students can freely access.
