London Metropolitan Business School

London Metropolitan Business School (LMBS) is one of the largest and most successful Business Schools in the country. The most recent subject review of our teaching, student support and course provision by the UK Government’s Quality Assurance Agency awarded business and management education top marks and so placed it in the top 5% of UK Business Schools. LMBS offers an amazing range of courses with study opportunities. We place great emphasis on developing the employability of our students. All courses develop both subject and transferable skills, such as team-working and communication, which are so valued by employers. We also encourage you to take advantage of opportunities for work experience. On some courses this takes the form of a year-long sandwich placement between the second and final year of the course.

Recent employers have included Air France, Arsenal Football Club, Barclays Bank, BBC Worldwide, Chester Boyd, HSBC, Limelight Projects, Orient Express and the Hilton Hotel Group.
