Feb. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- London Business School students are facing a bright and rewarding future, as the employment rate of 92% and the 124% increase in pre-MBA salary indicate, despite the tough economic climate.

According to the 2013 Financial Times MBA ranking, the School has the most internationally diverse student body (94%) and faculty (86%). London Business School also scored the overall second highest rank for international mobility, which reflects its global focus.

“Our aim at London Business School is to equip tomorrow’s global business leaders”, so Wendy Alexander, Associate Dean, Degree Programmes and Career Services at London Business School.

According to this year’s ranking the School also scored the top spot for fulfilling the goals of its students. This ranking is based on a number of criteria and compromises 20 metrics with a primary focus on career success. The current salaries of the business school’s MBA class of 2009 are included, three years after they graduated; value for money and recommendations from employers. Data going back three years was used to calculate the rankings.

“Building on our globally diverse student, faculty and alumni body, our MBA now offers the brand-new Global Business Experiences, world-wide career treks and unique access into networks that extend across the world. It’s absolutely critical to us that we provide our students with the global exposure that tomorrow’s employers demand”, so Alexander.
