As an EMBA London student at Booth, you’ll study in the heart of Europe’s business and startup capital.
One of the world’s leading centers of banking, finance, and tech, London has a centuries-long tradition of shaping how the world does business.
In our world-class London facility, you’ll join a community of accomplished senior executives from across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Approximately 78 percent of our students commute to Booth’s London business school campus from outside of the United Kingdom, bringing practical management insights and diverse industry perspectives to class.
Learning from our award-winning faculty, you’ll immerse yourself in The Chicago Approach to business education and develop a deep understanding of core business principles. In just 22 months, you’ll graduate with a lifelong global network and a world-class MBA degree.
Classes in the London EMBA Program are held in weeklong sessions every three to six weeks. The format allows you to continue working while simultaneously earning your MBA and growing your global network. In the video below, alumni and faculty discuss what it’s like to pursue a master of business administration in London at Chicago Booth.

I knew that I wanted to do an MBA program that would provide me with global exposure, that would be able to expand my networks on a global basis, and that'd also be able to expose me to a global way of doing things in terms of business. And for me, Booth ticked all of those.
Phil Berger (Booth faculty): 00:35
London is a hugely significant city in the world of business. It is a center of trade, a center of finance, one of the most important business cities in the world, one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world. Our goal for being in Europe was to try to have worldwide impact.

We are developing research in teaching that is important to the business community, not just in the US, but worldwide.
Austan Goolsbee (Booth faculty): 00:58
The UK doesn't even have the basic problem of the eurozone, which is locked in at the wrong exchange rate.
Phil Berger: 01:05
One thing that is unique about the Chicago Executive MBA is it's our Chicago faculty who do the teaching everywhere that we are in the world.

I live in Johannesburg, South Africa, so I commute to London for classes. Classes normally begin on a Monday and end on Saturday. I take an overnight flight from Johannesburg on Saturday night. I'm able to rest on Sunday, and I'm ready for class on Monday.
Cynthia Pongweni: 01:47
The London-based cohort is quite a diverse cohort. We've got people from North Africa, we've got people from the Middle East, we've got people from countries like France, Switzerland.
David Modol Flix (Booth alumnus): 02:07
At Booth, we are connected. Every morning when I wake up, I have over 400 messages in my WhatsApp. We discuss business deals all over the world. We discuss business ideas.
Cynthia Pongweni: 02:18
My favorite thing about the MBA experience has been the networks. I've met a lot of very interesting people: people that have challenged me to think differently, people from different walks of life. We have students from different parts of the world, different backgrounds, different gender, and for me, being able to engage those people not only in a classroom environment, but socially as well, really has been the best part of the Booth experience.
