The full-time MBA develops effective global leaders with a sophisticated understanding of business. Focusing on key general management themes and taught in one of the world’s leading financial centres, the programme offers you flexibility, international outlook and a highly practical curriculum. Students can tailor the MBA to suit their individual requirements, choosing exit points at 15, 18 and 21 months. The programme typically attracts successful young managers with an average of 5 years work experience from over 60 countries.

The unique and specialist Masters in Finance is practical and career oriented, and provides a thorough training in the principles and practice of finance. It can be completed in ten months full-time, or in 22 months on the weekend format. The programme is widely regarded as the pre-eminent qualification for finance professionals and is designed for those pursuing, or planning to pursue, careers in the financial services industry or in the finance function of business.

The Sloan MSc leads to a masters degree in Leadership and Strategy and is a 12-month full-time programme. It was initiated at London Business School by Professor Charles Handy following an endowment by the Alfred P Sloan Foundation. The Sloan Masters is offered exclusively at London Business School, MIT and Stanford. The Sloan MSc is designed to develop mature and experienced managers, professionals and entrepreneurs for the most senior positions in international business and industry or for establishing successful new ventures. It blends academic theory and leading management practice in the classroom and in world-wide international assignments and project work.

The Masters in Management is a pre-experience programme designed for outstanding individuals with an undergraduate degree, but little or no work experience. The transformational 12 month programme provides a foundation for a successful career in business and beyond. The programme has one intake each September.

Each programme has its own admissions policies and requirements, but for acceptance into any London Business School Masters programme, the following minimum standards are required:

* a good university degree, or an equivalent professional qualification
* a good score on the GMAT
* high levels of written and spoken English

London Business School also offers a wide range of world-leading Executive Education programmes that have been designed to provide you with the skills you need to overcome your critical business challenges. The programmes range from 2-days to 4-weeks in length.
