FROM LBS Current Students Blog: Choices |
We are defined by our choices. In every choice, we go towards who we want to be and how we want to live our life. Every choice speaks volumes about what we care about and what our focus is. And if LBS MBA is giving me one thing it is choices. I spent the entire day looking at the interlinks of some of the choices I can make: electives, exchange program, GBE, internships… And I feel I need a data modelling system to crunch all this. Why is that though? Because of the immense number of choices at your fingertips. Let’s just look at the academics. There are a certain number of core courses that are the skeleton of any MBA degree so they are mandatory but the entire second year – I repeat, the entire second year – and up to 5 subjects in year 1 are your choice entirely. You want the MBA to be as short as possible, very compressed and go back to work? You finish in 15 months. You want to study somewhere else? No problem. LBS will ask: which continent? Want to give entrepreneurship a go? Join the Entrepeneurship School. Not sure which industry you will like? You can do several internships and try. And it goes so much beyond the academics… there are choices in every single area. Because of previous business commitments I have not travelled a lot recently and yetthere are so many places I just want to explore… The MBA, with so many students of different nationalities, is full of treks to different countries that go on throughout the year. Perfect! One of my classmates, and entrepreneur, came here to create his next company. He created entrepreneurship meetings with fellow classmates to brainstorm. Another classmate is unsure of what to do next. Fine. The industry club is organising a series of events, one per week, in which different people from different industries do presentations under the titles: What is business development? What is marketing? What is operations? I had always felt my English pronunciation gives away my origin way too much – guess what? LBS organises an accent and pronunciation course to improve your accent. How great is that? Used to be very fit but life got in the way? There is a club for every sport. Want to socialise? There is – literally – a party, a dinner, something every other night. It’s unbelievable. Think of something you would like to do, something that you would like to learn. I am sure there is someone, somewhere within the class or the community that knows about it or that is interested in that too. Or if not, you can create a platform for it. I feel like I can really make those two years whatever I want to make them be. For me, choices are a synonym of freedom. Choices are our chance to driving our life. I am thrilled to be here. At London Business School. Right now. Doing an MBA. And I am because I feel I have the scope, the room, the options to be myself. And to decide who I want to become, whatever that is. |
