Abhishek, India
Hello! My name is Abhishek, and I am a “third-culture kid” who grew up in Malaysia. Prior to joining LSE’s Global Master’s in Management (GMiM) programme last year, I studied a BSc (Hons) in Political Economy at King’s College London. I also had some internship experience working with IT consultancies specialising in hospital management, and have recently completed an internship in Change Management at KPMG Malaysia.
I applied to LSE because of its wonderful academic reputation, and position as a leader in the Social Sciences. When I applied to the GMiM course, there were many questions I had hoped to answer during my time as a student, and with the option to stay at the LSE in my second year, I am thrilled to say that my electives have enabled me to delve into these questions. Furthermore, as I have a wide range of academic interests beyond management, the wide variety in almost daily LSE public lectures made LSE a truly easy choice. As a current student, I have come to admire the determination, friendliness and collaborative attitude of those around me, and feel as though I have gained a new family in my GMiM cohort.
Anooshka, India
Hey guys! I’m Anooshka from Kolkata, India. I did my Bachelors in Business Administration (specialised in Financial Management) from St. Xavier’s College, Kolkata. After which, I graduated with MSc Accounting and Finance from LSE. And now, I am doing my 2nd master’s, The Global MSc in Management (GMiM) also from LSE. I believe LSE is the school to be at, it’s just amazing!
Currently, I am the LSE SU Postgraduate Students Officer and I represent 7000 Postgraduate Students i.e. 65% of the LSE student body.
After graduating from LSE, I want to go back to India to work in my family business and take it to greater heights.
Bernice, France
Hi there! My name is Berenice. I am half-French, half-Egyptian, and I have grown up all over the Middle East. Prior to joining the GMIM cohort, I was just across the road, where I graduated from King’s College London, with a BSc (hons) in Political Economy. During my studies, I have interned at AccorHotels, and the Embassy of Egypt, where I have gained an interest in Finance and Management.
The GMIM Program at LSE represented the perfect course for me: a strong practical and theoretical curriculum, that makes you think strategically and critically alongside an amazing international cohort!
Jannik, Germany
Hello, I am Jannik from Germany. I hold a B.A. in Political Science and a B.Sc. in Business Administration. Before coming to London, I worked in Public Sector Consulting in Berlin.
I am convinced that an interdisciplinary approach to both academic and practical challenges yields the most fruitful results. Therefore, I am happy to continue this path by studying Management in a social science context at the LSE. The GMiM’s vibrant and international student body and the wealth of course choices make this programme truly unique.
Being passionate about contributing to society, I am glad to help you with any questions regarding the LSE and the Global Master’s in Management.
Jelena, Germany
Hi there, I am Jelena from Hamburg, Germany and I am a first year student of the Global Master’s in Management (GMiM) programme. Before coming to LSE I studied International Business Administration and Entrepreneurship at Leuphana University Lüneburg. During my undergraduate degree, I also spent a semester abroad at the University of British Columbia in Canada where I focused on Political Economy and International Relations.
I am excited to be at LSE because it is such a dynamic and progressive place of learning, that is actively shaped by its student community.
To me the GMiM programme presents the ideal opportunity to build a global network, learn from your inspiring peers with diverse cultural as well as academic backgrounds and get prepared to tackle management challenges in a globalised world.
Yusuf, India
Hello, I am Yusuf – a Year 1 GMiM student from Bangalore, India. Prior to LSE, I completed my Bachelors in Industrial Engineering from the City University of Hong Kong in 2017. I stayed back in Hong Kong to work in a food delivery startup, which was a fantastic experience!
I am very interested in activities outside of the classroom – I have just been elected as a member of the Trustee Board for the LSE Students’ Union. I would highly encourage other postgraduate students to participate in clubs and societies because you get access to the wider LSE community which includes people from various cultural and academic backgrounds. One of the things I love the most about the GMiM program so far is its mixture of practical and theoretical learning models – we had an amazing day-long workshop about Effective Communication at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts (RADA) and a Strengthscope review which tells us about our “energizing traits” and how we can use them effectively in the workplace and with groups. I had never imagined that as a management student I would learn from drama actors!
I am looking forward to meeting you all and helping you with your big decision of joining the Management Department at the LSE!
Giovanni, Italy
Hello! My name is Giovanni and I hold a BSc in Political Science from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy the city where I originally come from. During my undergraduate degree, I spent a semester abroad at the University of Sydney in Australia where I took several courses in the field of business management. Before joining LSE, I was working at the European Commission in Luxembourg on European investment programmes.
I have chosen to study in an institution that would allow me to understand the complexities of the world we live in. As a leading university in Social Sciences, LSE's MIM will truly give you a well-rounded approach in managerial decision making.

Hi there. I’m Simon from Denmark, and I hold a B.Sc. in International Business from Copenhagen Business School. During this, I spent a semester at Harvard University studying economics, finance and computer science.
There’s no shortage of great things about the MiM, but as a curious individual, I particularly enjoy how challenging the courses are. You’re pushed outside your comfort zone and invited to learn. Fortunately, the bright students around are happy to help.
Finally, I’m a student ambassador because I wish to give back to the LSE community. Help me to do so by asking all the questions you may have!

That experience introduced me to the LSE teaching and learning methods, which I find unique.
I believe that the Economics and Management program is the perfect match for curious individuals who want to improve their analytical skills through case studies involving real companies! So far I have seen how LSE and this program give exciting learning opportunities and encourage students to become better future leaders.

Jordan, USA
Hi, my name is Jordan and I’m currently studying in the MSc Human Resources and Organisations program with an emphasis in Organisational Behaviour. I’ve taken a unique road in getting to LSE; I studied Engineering in my undergrad and spent five years working for small engineering firms back in the United States. Working for small companies, I was able to work proactively on a lot of different areas within these organisations and soon realised my favourite work involved people and making their jobs better. I had the opportunity to design a new hire onboarding program, enhance training materials, and implement feedback systems and I absolutely loved it. This brought on my desire to study the human side of organisations.
Studying at LSE is a fantastic experience. I especially appreciate meeting so many intelligent people from so many diverse backgrounds. Combined with the incredible professors and course material offered here, LSE is the place I want to be.

Manveen, India
Hi, I am Manveen from New Delhi, India. As long as I can trace, on occasions more than one, Human beings and their idiosyncrasies have captivated my attention. Having completed a Bachelors and Master's in Psychology, I have been acquainted with the various trajectories of the subject for five years following which I found the need to incorporate its principles and theories to the internal mechanisms of organisations. My research work during my Master's focused on the effects of Employee Assistance Programs on Job Satisfaction and Occupational Stress which provided impetus to pursue a Master's in Human Resources and Organisations.
I believe, the knowledge and exposure I gain at LSE will help me in my endeavour to not only merge the field of Human Resources with Psychology but also help me station Employee Assistance Programs back in my home country - India. Life at LSE and London is without a doubt challenging, but it is surely worth it!

Stanley, USA
Hi everyone! My name is Stanley, and I am originally from the Bay Area, California. My first degree was in Political Science and International Relations. After graduation, I worked briefly as a Project Manager for Uber Technologies and then in Strategic Partnerships for Walmart eCommerce. I am interested in the process of implementing successful IT business strategies, and I hope that my time at LSE will allow me to help large organisations pursue digital business models.
