Transcripts should include a comprehensive record of completed courses, grades and class of degree received and, if possible, class ranking. If it is not in English, you must provide a certified or notarised English translation.

Interview invitations are issued based on your initial application review. If you are located in the UK, we will ask you to London Business School for an interview with a member of our Admissions Team or alumni community. If you are located in Western Europe, you may also be asked to travel to London for your interview.
If you are unable to travel to London, interviews will be conducted by members of our alumni community. These can take longer to coordinate, but the scheduling will not affect your application.
In some cases, a Skype interview may be conducted if a face-to-face meeting is not possible, but the majority of interviews will be conducted in person, on or off campus.
Some candidates may be asked for a follow-up interview where there are outstanding questions about the application. The Admissions Team will contact such candidates directly.

The Admissions Team and alumni utilise the same interview process - who you interview with, and where, will not have any impact on the outcome of your application. The Admissions Committee employs the same assessment criteria regardless of the interviewer (staff or alumni) or location.
We operate a waitlist system. Waitlisted applicants receive regular updates at scheduled dates. Each year, a number of waitlist candidates are successful in getting a place on the programme.
If waitlisted, you may be required to attend a follow-up interview with a member of the Early Career Programmes Office.

Giá máy bắn cáIf you have passed the CFA Level 1, you don’t need to submit a GMAT/GRE score. However, we strongly recommend you do have one of these scores as some recruiters use this as a benchmarking tool.
No. You’ll need to select which programme you’re applying to at the beginning of your application. If you are unsure which is best for you, please contact our recruitment team on mfa@london.edu
We advise submitting one academic and one professional reference. It is crucial that you select referees who know you well and who can provide specific comments on your interactions within either the classroom or the workplace. Title is not as important as relationship. If you don’t have a professional referee, two academic ones will suffice. However, if you have work experience the Admissions Committee may question why a recommendation from a past employer has not been received.
