Overview

London School of Business and Finance (LSBF) is situated in the heart of London. The School has established a strong reputation in preparing students for professional qualifications and providing quality education leading to postgraduate degrees in Business, Finance, Accountancy, Marketing and Management.

LSBF in collaboration with Grenoble Graduate School of Business (GGSB) has launched a unique dual programme leading to two internationally recognised and highly sought after qualifications: the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) or the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) or the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM).

GGSB - a leading European institution for management education - is ranked 29th by the Financial Times (Oxford 27th, Cambridge 36th), and is one of the few business schools worldwide honoured by AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB accreditations.

LSBF also offers 4 MBA specialisations :

+Finance
+Global Management
+Management Consulting
+International Accounting and Auditing

Alongside the MBA, LSBF (in collaboration with GGSB) offers the prestigious Masters in International Business (MIB) programme and MSc in Finance. The MIB was ranked 4th in Europe (1st in the UK) and 1st for Career Progression and International Mobility by the Financial Times in 2006. It is one of the few pre-experience Masters in general management (PEMM) programmes to obtain accreditation by the Association of MBAs (AMBA).

The MSc in Finance is designed for those wishing to prepare for careers in banking, financial services or hold corporate finance positions within international companies at a management, control or decision-making level.

As part of the study route for the ACCA membership students can obtain BSc (Hons) in Applied Accounting awarded by Oxford Brookes University.

LSBF also offers a number of programmes validated by the University of East London, including an MBA 'top up' for members of the ACCA and CIMA, delivering an upgrade to a Masters in just 3 - 4 modules and a dissertation. Other UEL validated programmes are an MSc in Investment Banking and Securities and an MSc in Digital Marketing.

LSBF provides range of scholarships, including the newly launched Emerging Markets Scholarship , supported by our Royal Patron, HRH Prince Michael of Kent. Corporate Bursaries and a special "Women in Business" scholarship are also offered..

Networking
Our strong academic team and extensive ties with industries across Europe create a favourable environment for students to put into practice their knowledge via numerous consultancy projects proposed to the School by leading companies.

LSBF we challenge its students to be professional and ambitious. We aim to create opportunities to maximise their employability in a competitive job market and accelerate their career progression. This is done by imparting the knowledge, skills and attributes necessary to ensure that they have the global business capabilities required for leadership and success.

Student profile

BIKRAMJIT S. CHOPRA --- STUDENT PROFILE

Bikram Chopra started his career in finance running his family’s business. “Deciding to do an MBA was one of the biggest decisions in my life, and, looking back, I certainly feel very differently now compared to when I started my MBA studies.”

Since Bikram took the intellectual and professional challenge to study for an MBA in London, he has experienced interaction with other students and faculty members that would have been more limited if he had done it in India.

Bikram researched potential MBA programmes in London, looking for a business school that would develop his entrepreneurial spirit and prepare him for a continuously changing business environment. “I couldn’t find a more exciting institution than LSBF which delivers flexible courses and a triple accredited MBA awarded by Grenoble Graduate of Business School.”

And studying at the weekend was also an important factor in his choice of business school. “It’s very flexible so I can still manage my team from India.” He adds that, in addition, the central location gives him easy access to numerous business contacts.

Bikram recognises that LSBF promotes excellence. “I believe this MBA is a perfect stepping stone for my demanding career in business.”, adding that doing an MBA helped him to discover himself. “On a personal level, studying for MBA gave me confidence and helped me to know my capabilities and discover my entrepreneurship skills.”
