Alongside your peers on Graduate Masters, MBA and Leadership programmes, travel to destinations such as Buenos Aires, Athens, Johannesburg and Beijing.
Each Global Experience is led by expert faculty and explores a topical theme, offering an in-depth view of a country's business culture. You will have the opportunity to interact meaningfully with members of the local business ecosystem, faculty, alumni, fellow students and others in the LBS global community.

Throughout the programme, you'll benefit from the ongoing support of our executive coaches, ensuring you have expert guidance every step of the way. You'll also have the opportunity to reflect on insights gained from our world-class faculty and discover practical ways to apply this knowledge in your current role. Our programme offers a highly personalised experience, allowing you to tailor your leadership development journey to meet your individual needs and goals.
Additionally, you'll receive one-to-one sessions with our experienced career coaches, designed to offer tailored support as you reflect on your career trajectory. Leveraging sector insights and market knowledge, you'll be able to chart a clear path forward, developing a career progression strategy that aligns with your personal definition of a meaningful and fulfilling career.
A vibrant student body
Community life is a significant part of the LBS experience. Central to this is the Student Association (SA), which organises and supports a vast range of activities, uniting students across our diverse, engaged and vibrant community.
With more than 80 active student clubs and over 800 annual events, LBS students enjoy countless opportunities to connect and learn together through conferences, cultural celebrations, and sporting competitions. Speakers and alumni regularly visit the School to offer their experience and insights at events and conferences including the China Business Forum, Global Energy Summit, Women in Business Conference and more. This extensive calendar of events ensures that there’s something for everyone.
"Joining the EMBA programme is the most transformational thing you can do for your career. You’ll build a foundation of business knowledge that means you thrive in any type of organisation, develop personal skills you can’t learn anywhere else, and build an unrivalled network of faculty, colleagues and business connections."
