Features

When considering going to Business School, it is important to do your research and get a good understanding of your chosen programme and institution. The more information you have, the more of an informed decision you can make. At Imperial Business School, we host a carefully curated set of events and sessions, both online and in person, that are designed to support applicants from the initial stages of research through to enrolment.

In this blog, we outline an events roadmap, covering the numerous touchpoints on your journey to completing an application for an MBA programme at Imperial Business School. We will outline the ideal events journey, demonstrating the importance of each event and what you will gain by attending.

Research

Step 1: Imperial's Open Day

An Open Day is your first opportunity to get a feel for the Business School. They are half-day weekend events held in-person at our South Kensington campus and give you the chance to determine if the Business School is the right fit for you and the experience you are looking for. At an Open Day, you can expect to attend:

An overview of our MBA programmes
A faculty masterclass - a chance to experience a sample lecture from our academics
An introduction to our Careers and Student Life teams
A chance to network with, hear from and meet ��ý, alumni and staff
Campus and facilities tours

Step 2: Information Session

Following the interest sparked by an Open Day, an Information Session can help to clarify whether the programme fits the style of MBA that you’re seeking, and offers an outline of what we, as a Business School, look for from you during the admissions process.

These deep-dive webinars are the best way to get an overview of your chosen programme. They include information about programme content and structure, class profiles, employment outcomes and initial information on the admissions process. The session ends with a Q&A section, offering a chance to get any initial questions answered.

"Open Days and Information Sessions are incredibly insightful. They not only showcase what Imperial has to offer but also provide an opportunity to interact with current ��ý to see if it's the right fit. I highly recommend these events to anyone considering joining the programmes!" - Eva Look, Full-Time MBA

Step 3: profile review or one-to-one

Having done your research through our events, and deciding that you would like to apply, a profile review is a great way to get questions answered on a one-to-one basis. Whether this be about the programme, life at the Business School or the admissions process, the Recruitment & Admissions team will be able to support whilst also providing bespoke advice on how to craft a competitive application for your chosen programme.

If you would prefer to attend in-person, the team also host a similar style of meeting through our one-to-ones which take place at our South Kensington campus or across the globe when the team are travel to different locations.

Step 4: 'MBA Information Session' webinar

Before submitting your application, one final recommended step is to tune into one of our 'MBA Information Session' webinars. These sessions are delivered directly by the Recruitment & Admissions team, and provide an overview of our programmes as well as a step-by-step guide on navigating the application process from initial application to interview.

These webinars are a great way to review your drafted application and check that you have gathered all the relevant details and supporting documents.

Applying

Step 5: submit your application

After completing the events journey, you should now be ready to submit your application. Using our online application portal, you will navigate through the system, completing the fields to provide the Recruitment & Admissions team with the required information. Once complete, you will upload your supporting documents before submitting to the team for assessment.

The round deadlines for each of our MBA programmes are available on the Admissions page for each programme, so if you would like to inform us of your application intentions and get any final support, we would love to hear from you.  

Though this final step marks the end of your application journey, it is potentially the start of an exciting new journey towards starting your MBA programme.

Throughout each step, the Recruitment team are here to support you. If you miss an event or want additional support, don’t hesitate to reach out. Email us
