The Financial Times Global MBA rankings for 2010 see London Business School claim the coveted number one spot, having shared the prize with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 2009.

Comments from alumni of the school's 2006 MBA class, surveyed in 2009 as part of the 2010 rankings process, point to a broad educational experience. “One of the best decisions of my life was to go to LBS for a full-time MBA,” says one alumnus. “[It] has enriched my life, from education to career development, to making new friends and gaining new perspectives.”

Another adds: “You not only learn from the school curriculum but from the deep cultural diversity of the student population. There is no place else that can offer this advantage to the extent that London Business School does.”
