The London Business School, located in Regent Park, was founded in 1964 with the vision to have a profound impact on the way the world does business. Despite being far younger to its counterparts, LBS has risen rapidly through b-school rankings - it goes neck-to-neck with INSEAD for the best European MBA program, and its MiM offering was ranked 2nd globally (QS 2021). Given the distinctive prestige, strong employment outcomes, powerful alumni network (46k+ in 150+ countries) and unmatched location, the LBS MiM is a dream program for most Indian undergraduates.
LBS offers the MiM in 3 formats - the 12-month MiM, the 16-month MiM, and the 24-month Global MiM (LBS MiM + Masters in International Business from Fudan School of Management in Shanghai). The 16-month track gives candidates the flexibility to extend their degree by pursuing a summer internship, taking more electives or going on an international exchange.
LBS prides itself on being truly international - of the 298 candidates in the MiM class of 2021, 95% were international students, representing 46 nationalities. Women made up 43% of the class, with 11% of the students hailing from South Asia (mostly India). Over a third of the class had business/management as their undergraduate study discipline.

The international mobility created by employment opportunities is a huge selling point for LBS. While only 5% of the incoming class was from the UK, 50% took up jobs in the UK post their degree. These numbers will only get better - under the new visa regime in the UK, students who complete a year-long Master’s program at a recognized UK university are guaranteed a 2-year work visa.
The mean salary (base) for the program is slightly over GBP 42k, with 41% of MiM graduates heading into consulting, 29% into finance, and the rest evenly split between technology and diversified services.
