We’re American at heart but global in our approach. Our London-based Executive MBA cohort reflects the international nature of the city, with 41 different countries represented in our class.
Our new campus is a modern, one-year-old building in the 2000-year-old heart of the City of London. We're on the doorstep of the famous 12th century Smithfield market – where Oliver Twist stole a handkerchief – now home to world-class restaurants and bars. Our address in Barts Square relates to the neighbouring St. Bartholomew's church and hospital, founded in 1123 as a 'house of the poore'.
….and then onwards to teach in Hong Kong. Our ‘Pure Chicago’ approach means that our Executive MBA students are taught by the same world class faculty, whichever campus they choose.
Surprise, Londoners—it turns out that talking with a stranger on your commute can make you both happier.

The UK’s Behavioural Insights Unit was a government department focused on using behavioural economic insights to inform UK government policy. Coined the ‘Nudge Unit’ after Nobel laureate and Booth professor Richard Thaler’s award-winning book, "Nudge", the unit has grown to a global social purpose company with offices around the world.
In addition to teaching macroeconomics at Chicago Booth, Anil Kashyap regularly travels to London where he is an external member of the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee, helping manage financial stability risk and ensuring the resilience of the UK financial system.
