>> STUDENT 1: Year two was more about execution, progress, getting things done, learning and
experimenting and doing.
>> STUDENT 2: London Business School offers er the possibility
to do the, the training 15, 18 or 21 months so I would try to to finish within 15 months
- I will try to fast-track.
I could even choose er more or less the days of the week I wanted to work.
>> STUDENT 3: My second year was super short, it was crazy I had to take lots of classes
in one term.
It was not impossible, it was just a lot of work.
But it was good, it was worth it.
>> STUDENT 4: I wanted to go in exchange because it was a unique opportunity.
You know, when am I going to have a chance again to say well I am going to go and live
the in states, unless it’s a kind of huge move and I am kind of picking up sticks and
moving my life across.
>> STUDENT 1: The most important insight from my UC Berkeley experience, was that I get
what you’re working on isn’t that important as the problem you are trying to tackle and
why do you personally feel obliged to solve that problem.
>> STUDENT 5: When you do electives, you do them with a cross-section of the entire lbs
community You get to meet new people, you get to meet
the rest of the community.
>> STUDENT 2: We had people from different programmes like for instance Executive MBA
And I should say that their insights in class were very good.
They have a lot to experience to share.
>> STUDENT 1: One of the benefits is that we get to do courses in Dubai with the Executive
MBA programme and I definitely will make the use of that to take one of the courses out
there.
>> STUDENT 6: The Hong Kong GBE for me was one of the highlights of the whole MBA experience.
It was actually targeted around private equity and venture capital.
I was amazed by the opportunity currently in Hong Kong.
>> STUDENT 2: For me the global business experience was really fantastic, it was like the cherry
on the cake of the MBA.
>> STUDENT 3: The micro entrepreneur that I was supposed to help, he had, had this business
for like 20 years.
He actually understood the basics of his business but he didn’t have the tools or ideas make
it like bigger, so we came up with some concepts of marketing branding.
>> STUDENT 4: One of the unique things about lbs is the option to do a second internship.
I worked for Each G Capital, it's a private equity firm in London looking at energy technology
investments.
>> STUDENT 6: I was able to build my electives around the opportunity to do a second internship,
which I did at a venture capital firm in London called Octopus Investments.
We would meet these entrepreneurs and listen to the pitch and pose some difficult questions
to try and understand a bit more about their idea.
I evaluated probably, quite a few hundred business plans.
I'm aware of only one or two getting to the actually investments stage.
So it’s quite a tough environment
>> STUDENT 3: Since the summer the business idea have evolved a lot.
I focused most of my second year on entrepreneurship courses.
So inventory development is a course where we actually work on the business plan.
I went through the list of all the class participants before the term started, and I would one by
one look for people who could actually help me.
I’m so happy with what we came up with.
>> STUDENT 5: For me looking back the MBA is a vital turning point.
It gave me an opportunity to redirect my career from banking into consulting and I don't think
I would have been able to do that without lbs.
>> STUDENT 4: I don't think I'll never have a year like this again in my life where I
have the opportunity to travel, meet people from around the world.
>> STUDENT 1: One of the presses one said that, that ten years from now you’ll be
asking yourself, what have you done over the last 10 years and you better have a good answer
for yourself.
>>STUDENT 4: It’s changed the way that I see businesses.
>> STUDENT 6: I've done so much in the past two years that I probably wouldn't have done
within that period anywhere else.
>> STUDENT 2: I will be the purchasing director at Tamás, purchasing in supply chain.
>> STUDENT 3: It’s been really really fast, I cannot believe I am leaving.
I think it was the right decision to come, it reaches you and makes you grow as a person,
you learn about humility, leadership, friendship - may things.
