Brightest minds of tomorrow - building community today


For over 60 years, London Business School has been at the forefront of business education and research. Our purpose is to have a profound impact on the way the world does business and the way business impacts the world.

We nurture bright minds and deep thinkers, preparing them to face, and drive the solutions for, interconnected global challenges.

Our approach is based on our five foundations: striving for excellence, delivering impact, our global reach, leveraging agility and enhancing our community.

What we offer

A learner’s journey with London Business School is a transformative and enriching life experience. Here, you will access everything you need to maximise your potential, including exposure to global networks, collaboration, career opportunities and the chance for personal growth.

We choose to operate in the world-class business centre of London, because it promises a unique and exciting window on the modern world and global challenges; culturally, socially and commercially. Our students, participants and corporate clients forge powerful, lifelong connections that are built on access to new perspectives, global viewpoints, and enhanced learning opportunities that simply would not be possible without this rich and engaging backdrop.

It’s not just on campus that we all flourish. Our community’s real-world impact can be found in a variety of examples, including the fact that the FTSE 100 index - the biggest companies listed on the London Stock Exchange - was the brainchild of our professors Paul Marsh and Elroy Dimson. Or in the fact that Professor Lucrezia Reichlin helped to pioneer the econometric concept of now-casting - a form of short-term forecasting used by central banks around the world - to set monetary policy.

Our approach, rigorous evidence-based research and dynamic learning experiences provide a unique environment to assess, design and test solutions to future business challenges. Global challenges such as climate change, political instability, corporate distrust, wealth disparity and the ethical implications of artificial intelligence are being addressed daily through our network of educators, learners and faculty members. We also champion diversity, recognising it as a powerful driver of innovation, equity and inclusive learning.

London Business School’s community is vast; we have 56,000 alumni, more than 2500 students and online learners, over 7800 Executive Education participants and almost 1,000 faculty and staff.

Real-world impact: always

Designing a viable future for the international business community takes more than bright thinking, it takes action, so we're always moving forward. We reflect the ever-changing business landscape by strengthening our programme offering and enhancing our global footprint.

Our five foundations unify our communities in business hubs across the world, ensuring consistent, notable change for impact.

Our five foundations for a global vision

We are always striving for excellence, this means we seek to continuously build on our reputation and achievements, with our colleagues, stakeholders and peers across the world. 

Our learners and faculty are committed to delivering impact, through cutting-edge research, thought leadership, partnerships and teaching; tackling the world’s interconnected challenges. 

Alongside our campuses in two of the world’s largest and most crucial centres of business, London and Dubai, we are maximising our global reach. We seek high value students from Europe, USA and Australia. We are expanding scholarships for students from Africa and Latin America. We will partner with leading business schools in China and India, as well as investing in a physical footprint in the Middle East, for both degree-level and executive education. This includes the addition of a corporate presence in Riyadh, supporting Human Capability and Leadership Development.

Leveraging agility is vital to respond rapidly to market trends. We combine blended teaching, experiential learning and flexi/stackable degrees as we craft lifelong learning journeys to unleash potential. 

Finally, we are enhancing our community. We think our commitment to championing in-person engagement is part of what makes London Business School special for students, participants, staff and our valued alumni. 

These foundations define us, our offering and will ensure our continued success, as well as our profound impact on the world’s business landscape.
