Does the teaching have a practical orientation?
The Programme is vocational and career oriented. It is designed for people who want to get things done. Teaching at London Business School is renowned for its twin emphasis on rigorous scholarship and real world relevance. As well as pursuing research in their own fields of interest, members of faculty also act as consultants and advisers to industry and government, and hold directorships in a range of organisations or in some cases help run their own businesses. These activities help to maintain the practical relevance of the School’s teaching and research. Our faculty are a highly international group. Over 55% come from outside the UK and as a result much of their work has an international orientation. Much of the School’s research is supported in some form by donor organisations with whom the School maintains especially close relationships.
