The faculty are experts in their field.
Tips: Students in India are habituated to the placement culture, which is not the reality here. So be prepared to work for recruitment. This involves applying actively, working on your resume, making cover letters, working on communication skills for interviews, etc. Recruitment here is always off-campus. Culturally it's not gonna be a huge shift. People here are very friendly and ready to help whenever needed.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty for each subject is an expert in their field, with experience in senior positions in firms, or published research papers and books and are great academics. They make classes interactive and inclusive. All faculty members are approachable and easily reachable on campus or via mail. The teaching faculty is very diverse in terms of nationality too.
Dislikes (Part time work): Since it is a one-year course, people generally don't work part-time as there is no time due to assignments, recruitment, and other events. As all the opportunities are off-campus, recruitment applications, tests, and interviews take up a lot of time apart from classes and assignments.

Worth it, but tricky given structure of education is different here
Tips: Study the pre-joining materials from your university. Avail scholarships if possible. The area is quite expensive so take into account the cost if you plan to live near the university. Try looking for flatmates and flats 3 months prior to your move as good places run out quickly.
Likes (Safety): The campus is located at a very central and a safe location. The area around the campus is amazing. The area is clean and is surrounded by a park and zoo. Easy access to good places to eat and shop. Very close to oxford street. Only had a good experience there.
Dislikes (Internships): Masters courses are 1 year thus no opportunity for internships. And visa restriction does not allow you to work full-time. Though great career advice is available throughout the year. So feel free to reach out to career reps if you have got any questions.

An immersive experience with hands on understanding.
Tips: Learnt hands on to live independently and work. No scholarships at the Master's level. Have to understand global politics and nuances. The course was also pretty good with motivating one to read and explore through discussions and talks and conferences.
Likes (Quality of faculty): It is quite diverse. Self learning and study classes should be interactive and experiential. The teaching method is a lot of reading and discussion, through conferences and lectures from visiting faculty. Some planning of work is needed well in time before the course is over.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Fewer opportunities in the city due to the global recession. Very few jobs with a sponsor visa. In this particular field not very lucrative but good experience. Not many options in the field unless you take up an internship and then convert to a job due to visa status

College is good and faculty are very friendly and helpful.
Tips: Students should be aware of the living conditions at the college before enrolling. Be aware of the security of personal belongings and documents. Some students think they can get a job very quickly after graduation. However, if you don't work hard, you will fail. To succeed students need to work hard for a job and stay safe from strangers and other dangers. Students should learn the language of the country where they are studying to facilitate communication.
Likes (Value for money): The tuition at London Business School is a good value. The faculty provides a lot of support and attention, and they provide the best materials for study. However students need to work hard and study diligently to succeed.
