The essays are an opportunity to tell us more about yourself. Use the essays to detail your interests, values and goals. We are interested in what motivates you, evidence of leadership and team work, why you are looking to pursue an MBA at this point in your life, and what you will bring to the London Business School Community. The essays are a vital part of your application and thus we recommend that you spend a significant amount of time in their preparation.
The essay questions for entry in August 2009 are listed below.
Question 1 (600 words)
In what role do you see yourself working immediately after graduation? Why?
How will your past and present experiences help you achieve this? How will
the London Business School MBA Programme contribute to this goal? Why is
this the right time for you to pursue an MBA?

Where do you see your career progressing five years after graduation and
what is your longer term career vision?
Question 3 (500 words)

Question 4 (400 words)

School MBA experience and this is reflected in the character of students on
