LBS MFA thoughts for 2026 intake?
I've heard and read some pretty nasty stuff about the MFA program from LBS.
Most notably that their admission criteria dropped and they started accepting anyone, which tarnished their reputation of excellence (or whatever).
These posts and reports that I read were mainly from 2024.
Has the programme changed? Is it worse now in 2025 than 2024? Has it gotten better?
Or were all these comments about the MFA just exaggerated and they've always placed well in IB, AM, and other fields in High Finance?
Look at their latest employment report and compare to previous years. But from what I have seen if you have good previous experience you have a decent chance of landing a role in London .
What about prolonging the MSc and doing a Summers before finishing?
That would help but if your doing a master you should be applying summers graduate schemes and off cycles to maximise your chances of converting
