Frequently asked questions
What GMAT score does LBS require for the MiM?
LBS does not publish a minimum but typically expects scores in the 640–730 range, with an average around 690. The GMAT Focus Edition and GRE are both accepted. A strong score is one of several signals — academics, leadership, and the application essays carry significant weight alongside test results.
How much does the LBS MiM cost?
Tuition for the 2026–27 cycle is £52,950, plus a £6,000 reservation fee, a £2,000 commitment fee (both deducted from tuition), a £200 student association fee, and a £125 application fee. Living costs in London typically add £20,000–£25,000 per year. LBS offers a portfolio of merit and need-based scholarships.
When are the LBS MiM application deadlines?
LBS uses rolling deadlines — typically five rounds running from September through June for the following August intake. The scholarship deadline (usually early March) is the firmest cut-off; admission can continue past it. Earlier applications are generally favoured for both admission and scholarship visibility.
