UCL launches School of Management


Posted Aug 03, 2015 11:02

I have not seen this mentioned on the website.

University College London, one of the UK’s elite universities, has launched a School of Management on its Bloomsbury campus, just a stone’s throw away from both London Business School and LSE, the London School of Economics and Political Science.

FT article: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/209580a0-3530-11e5-b05b-b01debd57852.html#axzz3hjyK2BZI
TopMBA: http://www.topmba.com/mba-programs/ucl-school-management-launched-aim-joining-uk-elite

What are peoples thoughts?

I like:
- Emphasis on innovation, analytics and entrepreneurship
- New Canary Wharf location for postgraduate students, leveraging the L39 technology accelerator (largest in Europe) and the financial community
- Top flight Faculty from the Top 10 US Schools / INSEAD / LBS (the only other UK school that attracts candidates from top US schools is LBS)
- Highly competitive admission rates - MSc Management attracted 3000 applications for 150 places
- Undergraduate degrees in analytics and business - Imperial/Oxbridge/LBS do not offer these

In terms of master's programs, looks like they offer the following:

- MSc Management
- MSc Technology Entrepreneurship

No MBA. The tech degree is interesting, and good competition for LSE's Management, Information Systems and Digital Innovation as well as Imperial's MSc Innovation, Entrepreneurship & Management.

Not sure if I would choose that MSc in Management program over others in London (ESCP, LBS, Cass...)

There will be an MBA offered from 2018, and a Masters in Finance from 2017.

I agree the LBS MiM is in a different league, but I would take the UCL MiM over Cass (poor selectivity and no GMAT/GRE requirement) and ESCP (limited to no brand awareness in the UK) anyday if you want to work in the UK.
