For anyone seriously considering a future in business, London should be your first choice. The commercial capital of Europe, with unrivalled transport links, it is a fantastic place to forge strong professional relationships that will benefit you for a lifetime. It is no coincidence that London is a base for most global players in finance, consulting, IT and professional services.
Imperial College London is located in South Kensington, one of the most fashionable, vibrant and cosmopolitan parts of London. It is one the world’s most important cultural centres, boasting major institutions such as the Royal College of Art, the Royal College of Music and the Royal Albert Hall, all within five minutes of the Business School campus.
We also enjoy close proximity to the Serpentine Lake and Gallery, just across Hyde Park, our very own neighbourhood garden. If you want urban chic or bustle, the fabulous stores of Knightsbridge and some of the best restaurants and bars in the city are just down the road.

The Weekend Executive MBA programme has been designed with flexibility in mind. You’ll attend classes over one long weekend per month, studying with our internationally diverse cohort, who will offer their own unique viewpoints and experiences.
You will attend one long weekend a month from April to January (Thursday afternoon, Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning), studying in the day and networking with your MBA colleagues and Business School staff at dinner each evening.
The format of the programme allows students to travel from around the world, giving a truly global perspective to your MBA.
In addition to time spent at the Business School, you’ll have to cover a lot of material independently outside the classroom. Online learning tools help you stay in touch between weekends, so you still have support. However, you’ll need the confidence to take concepts into the workplace and test them out before covering them in the classroom.

Ananas Anam was created seven years ago in the Philippines by Carmen Hijosa, a design consultant with vast experience in the leather goods industry. Highly aware of the harmful effects of leather production on the environment, Carmen went on to explore new materials that could address these concerns. Research into tropical fibres led Carmen to the discovery of the innovative new material Piñatex, composed of fibres extracted from the waste leaves of the pineapple plant. The new leather alternative is applicable to the footwear, accessories and furniture industries.
The final business plan was developed by a team of five MBA students and a Design London fellow. Ananas Anam was awarded the Social Entrepreneurship prize at the 2012 Business Plan Competition.
