Created for world-class candidates
Our MiM programme attracts the highest performers from around the world,
with the energy, drive and capability to make a difference.

The business world is expanding through

social enterprise, emerging markets, and
new industries, roles and specialisms. The
opportunities in which to find a niche and
make an impact are immense and the
prospects are thrilling.

As a recent graduate, with up to two years of

postgraduate work experience, you’re on the
cusp of your first career move. You’re looking
for a fast-track environment that will propel
your abilities and ambitions to a new level.

This programme will challenge you, take you

out of your comfort zone and help you fulfil
your potential. Certain qualities mark you
out as an ideal candidate: you’re dynamic,
open-minded, thrive when putting new ideas
into practice, can collaborate with a diverse,
enthusiastic, questioning peer group, and are
willing to share your own experiences.
“The LBS MiM offered everything
I was looking for: an
international experience,
business acumen, practical
skills, and a tight community.
By communicating with such a
diverse cohort on a daily basis, it
really pushes you to think from a
different perspective and try out
new things.”
Heejun Han (South Korean), MiM2020
Wide-ranging backgrounds
Our MiM students come from diverse study disciplines including
business administration, engineering, languages, mathematics,
history, science, literature, economics, law and music. Their
professional experience has spanned entrepreneurial, not-for-profit
and international corporate sectors. As you might expect from this
student body, such diversity fuels lively debate.
If you have a business background, you may be seeking more in-
depth knowledge of how theory applies to the real world. Or, if you’re
lacking business experience, you may want a degree that helps you
transition into that world with greater confidence and knowledge.
The combination of academic rigour and practical context offers
you the tools to develop as a capable business practitioner, team
leader and motivator. This programme will, without a doubt, impact
your career path. You’ll catch the eye of top global recruiters and
prospective employers and put yourself on track for a truly rewarding
long-term career.

Pre-programme and
orientation
Lay the groundwork for your learning
before the term starts. LBS online
modules in finance, accounting and
statistics blend seamlessly into the rest of
your core courses. Other pre-programme
work, including Excel and programming,
ensures that you are up to speed on the
applications used in the core.
Orientation week is the perfect way to
meet fellow students, our Dean and
key school figures. You will take part in
an exciting range of skills and career
activities, including an outdoor activity
awayday, as you integrate with your
study group.
Integrated core
At the heart of the MiM is a mixture of
core courses and integrated modules
that build your understanding of the
essentials while helping you develop a
more integrative, big-picture outlook on
business, its challenges and solutions.
Core courses ground you in the
fundamentals of business and general
management. You gain the in-depth
knowledge and understanding, together
with a broad business overview, to
succeed in all areas of the business world.
Our core courses cover the key areas of
finance, strategy, economics, accounting,
organisational behaviour, operations
and marketing.
Three integrated modules
Bringing core courses together in
an integrative framework are three
integrated modules. Here you explore
how business functions and areas overlap
in a practical context. Balancing theory
with hands-on experience, integrated
modules help you build the adaptive
thinking and problem-solving skills that
employers want.
Module one focuses on microeconomics
and data analytics and includes a
business simulation to fast-track decision-
making skills.
The second module digs deep into
management accounting, organisational
behaviour and strategy, and is an
opportunity to explore the gender pay
gap and company culture, and the impact
these have on company performance.
Your third integrated module is
LondonLAB, a live project allowing you
to tackle business challenges for leading,
cutting-edge companies in London. You
will be drawing upon the learning from
your core courses and skills programme
in order to address real business issues,
such as analysing the impact of entering
into a new geographical location or
product sector.
Electives
Tailor your learning experience and
explore your areas of interest in depth.
Over the programme, you will choose
three electives from a selection of
approximately 60 subjects.
Benefit from the quality, depth and
breadth of world-class faculty research.

The alumni view
Where does a London Business School Masters in Management lead?
Ten years on from graduating as a member of our inaugural MiM class,
Thomas Griesel has gone on to achieve international success as co-founder
of HelloFresh.
“The most important part of the
Masters in Management for me was the
international exposure,” says Thomas
Griesel. Today, as the co-founder of
HelloFresh – a global organisation with
offices in 11 countries employing over
3,500 staff – it’s coming in handy.
This year, Thomas won London Business
School’s first ever GOLD award,
introduced to recognise the outstanding
achievements of the School’s most recent
alumni. As one of only three from the
last 10 years – chosen for their profound
impact in their professional field – he is
unassuming about the accolade. “We
hardly ever take time to sit back and
reflect,” he says. “It’s not like it happens
overnight. You don’t wake up in the
morning with thousands of employees.
It’s a gradual development. That’s why
my co-founder and I tend to be humble
about it. Keeping a relatively low profile is
our approach.”
Thomas says that the international
exposure LBS gives its students is
“unrivalled by any other school”. In his
group of 108, there were more than
40 nationalities. His study group alone
represented five countries: Greece,
Lebanon, India, Malaysia and his own
native Germany. “You simply don’t find
that anywhere else,” he says. He admits
that working with people from such
diverse backgrounds isn’t always easy,
16 london.edu/mim
but, for him, the preparation for his career
and the expansion of his horizons have
been worth every bit of effort.
“Business works the same everywhere,”
he says. “It comes down to the numbers.
But the ways of getting there are what
differs between cultures. Having a solid
understanding of what differs and being
aware of how I communicate and go
about things is vitally important.”
Adjusting his style to fit the diverse
contexts he finds himself in has been his
biggest lesson. “In general, we Germans
have the tendency to be quite direct,”
he says. “When something is good, or
not good, we’ll say so. That did not go
down well with some of the other guys
at the beginning of the MiM! I was so
used to doing things my way that I didn’t
think about it. But other people might
find your way difficult.” It also works the
other way around: he can now see the
subtext in the messages of some other
cultures. “If a Brit says something has not
gone super-well, for example, it probably
means it’s gone terribly!”
British/German communication
differences certainly haven’t hampered
business: HelloFresh launched in
Germany and the UK simultaneously in
2011 and now has headquarters in Berlin
and New York, a valuation of €2.3 billion
and close to 2 million customers. The
company’s starting point was a problem
“The most
important part
of the Masters
in Management
for me was the
international
exposure.”
Thomas Griesel (German),
MiM2010, Co-founder, HelloFresh
that Thomas and his co-founder
experienced themselves while working in
consulting: the desire to eat healthy food
and a lack of means – namely time – to
prepare it.
“When we started out the offering was
quite simple,” he says. “There were three
meals with one delivery date a week. If
you didn’t like what was on offer, there
was nothing we could do for you! Now
we’re a lot more flexible. You can choose
the recipes that are right for you and the
right delivery date. We’ve worked towards
that very hard and will continue to work
towards each user being able to get the
option that’s right for them.”
Despite his success, Thomas believes
in doing less, not more. “If I was to give
advice to a new LBS student, I would
tell them to do less stuff, properly,” he
says. “You need to think about what to
focus on. There’s so much on offer at
LBS it’s easy to choose too much.” Being
in London compounds the situation
further: Thomas describes the city as
“the centre of everything that’s super-
interesting”, with LBS’s own regular
Thursday night event – ‘Sundowners’
drinks in the grounds of the school – a
highlight. “Sundowners was the best,” he
says. “To be able to spend time with your
classmates in such a relaxed setting after
studying hard all day is amazing. Then
afterwards, there’s London!”
