Introduction from the Executive Director
accepted an offer
within three months
of graduation
97%
Our Masters in Management programme
continues to go from strength to strength
with an impressive 97% of our MiM2014
class accepting job offers within three
months of graduation. 47% of these
graduates ventured outside of the UK to
work in organisations across 28 countries,
contributing to London Business School’s
mission to have a profound impact on the
way the world does business.
It is fantastic to see numerous
companies returning this year to hire,
in many cases more than one MiM
graduate. London Business School
also fosters a strong entrepreneurial
spirit. This year has seen numerous
MiM student and alumni start-ups.
Several of these are being nurtured in
our Incubator programme.
We believe in developing strong and
lasting relationships with organisations
around the world. Recruitment fairs,
Business Immersion Week and
international career treks offer a wealth
of opportunities for potential employers
to engage with our MiM students, and
forge close ties with the School.
Global Immersion Field Trips are a
wonderful opportunity for our MiM
students to extend their understanding
of how business cultures differ around
the world. This year Silicon Valley
(technology start-ups and innovation) has
been added to the portfolio, which also
includes Paris (customer experience),
Munich and Milan (supply chain and
operations), and Shanghai (business and
finance in China).
The School has further strengthened
its ties in Asia, joining with Shanghai’s
Fudan School of Management to launch
a two-year, double degree, the Global
Masters in Management. Starting in
September 2015, 40 students will spend
two years studying and working in the
UK and China, gaining insight into both
Western and Eastern business practices.
In a competitive job market it is
critical our MiM graduates continue
to stand out from the crowd. In
addition to core management studies
– accounting, economics, financial
management, marketing, leadership
and organisations, strategy, and
management analysis and systems –
we also launched specially designed
MiM electives this year. Our broad
range of electives enable MiMs to
study alongside, and learn from,
students from our other degree
programmes. By doing so they
gain insights from their knowledge
and experience of working with
organisations around the world.
As the world’s youngest leading
business school, entering into its 50th
Anniversary, we are proud of what
we have already achieved and look
forward to an inspiring future.
I would like to take this opportunity
to personally thank our recruiters
for having confidence in the world
class talent our graduates can bring.
Together we will shape the future of
global business.
