Information about Webster Graduate School

The Webster Graduate School runs the longest-established American MBA program in London. It is an elite, highly selective graduate school. It is currently based on Regent's College campus in Regent's Park. As well as full-time and part-time MBA courses, the school offers a taught Masters portfolio inc. Marketing, Finance, International Relations, HR, Management & Leadership.

The Regent's College campus was built in 1913 and opened that year by Queen Mary. It was part of the University of London until 1985.

Webster and LSE

Webster Graduate School London is highly regarded worldwide in respect of its renowned academic staff, influential research and its dedicated, multi-cultural student body. Competition for entry to the MBA program is intense and successful applicants become known as "Webbies" by their London School of Economics counterparts. Similarly to the LSE, the Webster process of postgraduate admissions is conducted on a rolling basis. Most UK graduate schools conduct admissions on a mid-October deadline basis.

Admissions

As a much smaller college, Webster London does not advertise its courses energetically. It is known for head-hunting students globally. Acceptance to the school by application is notoriously difficult owing to the high standard set by the acceptance board. Only under 100 students are enrolled at any one time with the greatest proportion (usually 40) enrolled in the MBA program.

Academic Prestige

In its student guidelines, the school advises a B- grade or better. Failing to reach this standard will result in the student being dismissed. [1]

Students of the MA International Relations automatically achieve membership of the Royal Instititute for International Affairs, Chatham House. This is an exclusive entitlement to Webster students. No other UK university has this facility.

Webster Network

Webster Graduate School London is part of the International Webster University network. The London campus is generally regarded as the hub of the network. Though the main campus in St. Louis Missouri is highly regarded in the US, it has not reached the worldwide acclaim of Webster Graduate School London. Also notable is the Shanghai sister graduate school which is the first American university approved by the Chinese government to offer the M.B.A. in China.
