LBS is the better pick if someone wants a proper MBA—it offers a full-time MBA that lasts 15–21 months, includes a summer internship, and leads to strong consulting, finance, and tech placements. Companies like Bain, Amazon, and HSBC actively hire from the campus.

LSE doesn’t offer a full MBA. What it does offer is the Executive Global Master’s in Management (EGMiM), a part-time program designed for working professionals with 5+ years of experience. It lasts 17 months and includes short teaching blocks in London and overseas.

While LBS is more focused on structured post-MBA hiring, LSE’s strength lies in economics, government, and international affairs. People from policy, development, and academic sectors often choose LSE to grow in leadership without leaving their jobs.

Someone looking to change careers or join top firms post-MBA will get more support at LBS. But for experienced professionals in global or policy-facing roles, LSE offers strong academic depth and flexibility.
